Triticum Araraticum
''Triticum araraticum'' (Araratian wild emmer or Armenian wild emmer) is a wild tetraploid species of wheat. ''T. araraticum'' is one of the least studied wheat species in the world.E. D. Badaeva, R. L. Boguslavsky, N. S. Badaev and A. V. Zelenin. 1988. ''Intraspecific chromosomal polymorphism of Triticum araraticum (Poaceae) detected by C-banding technique''. Plant Systematics and Evolution. Vol. 169, No. 1/2 Genealogy The ''T. araraticum'' species appears to have arisen from the natural hybridization of T. boeoticum and Aegilops speltoides. ''T. araraticum'' is similar to the domestic T. timopheevii in several ways including physical appearance, cytoplasm type and DNA content.Jakubizner M. M. 1932. Wheats of Syria, Palestina, and Tranjordan, and their role in breeding and agronomy. WIR publ. p. 157-160 (in Russian) The relationship has led some taxonomists to classify ''T. araraticum'' as a subspecies of ''T. timopheevii''. In July 1988 different lines of ''T. araraticum'' ...

Triticum Boeoticum
Einkorn wheat (from German ''Einkorn'', literally "single grain") can refer either to a wild species of wheat (''Triticum'') or to its domesticated form. The wild form is '' T. boeoticum'' (syn. ''T. m.'' ssp. ''boeoticum''), the domesticated form is '' T. monococcum'' (syn. ''T. m.'' ssp. ''boeoticum''). Einkorn is a diploid species (2''n'' = 14 chromosomes) of hulled wheat, with tough glumes ('husks') that tightly enclose the grains. The cultivated form is similar to the wild, except that the ear stays intact when ripe and the seeds are larger. The domestic form is known as "petit épeautre" in French, "Einkorn" in German, "einkorn" or "littlespelt" in English, "piccolo farro" in Italian and "escanda menor" in Spanish. The name refers to the fact that each spikelet contains only one grain. Einkorn wheat was one of the first plants to be domesticated and cultivated. The earliest clear evidence of the domestication of einkorn dates from 10,600 to 9,900 years before present ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aegilops Speltoides
''Aegilops speltoides'' ( syn. ''Sitopsis speltoides'' ( Tausch) Á.Löve) is an edible plant in the family Poaceae native to Southeastern Europe and Western Asia, which is often used for animal feed, and it has grown in cultivated beds. This plant is an important natural source of disease resistance in wheat Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain that is a worldwide staple food.

Triticum Timopheevii
''Triticum timopheevii'', Timopheev's wheat or Zanduri wheat, is a tetraploid wheat that has both cultivated and wild forms. It is believed to have evolved in isolation from the more common ''Triticum turgidum''; hybrids between T. timopheevii and T. turgidum are reportedly sterile with "a considerable amount of chromosomal irregularities in meiosis." The wild form (formerly categorized as ''T. araraticum'' Jakubz.) can be found across south-eastern Turkey, north Iraq, west Iran and Transcaucasia - but the domesticated form is restricted to western Georgia Georgia most commonly refers to: * Georgia (country), a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia * Georgia (U.S. state), a state in the Southeast United States Georgia may also refer to: Places Historical states and entities * Related to the ....

C-banding
A karyotype is the general appearance of the complete set of metaphase chromosomes in the cells of a species or in an individual organism, mainly including their sizes, numbers, and shapes. Karyotyping is the process by which a karyotype is discerned by determining the chromosome complement of an individual, including the number of chromosomes and any abnormalities. A karyogram or idiogram is a graphical depiction of a karyotype, wherein chromosomes are organized in pairs, ordered by size and position of centromere for chromosomes of the same size. Karyotyping generally combines light microscopy and photography, and results in a photomicrographic (or simply micrographic) karyogram. In contrast, a schematic karyogram is a designed graphic representation of a karyotype. In schematic karyograms, just one of the sister chromatids of each chromosome is generally shown for brevity, and in reality they are generally so close together that they look as one on photomicrographs as well u ...
