Secale anatolicumSecale anatolicum is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae. It is native to southwestern Bulgaria, southern Greece, Turkey, the Transcaucasus, Iraq, and Iran. A perennial, it is found in a variety of subtropical habitats, including mountain slopes, cliffs, grasslands, scrublands, and forests at elevations from 700 to 2,300 m (2,300 to 7,500 ft). It has been assessed as Least Concern.
Secale montanumSecale montanum, wild perennial rye, is a species in the rye genus Secale native to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Caucasus region, and eastwards through Iran to Pakistan. It is a short-lived, self-fertile perennial. It is thought to be the ultimate parent of domesticated rye (Secale cereale), and crosses with S. cereale have had some success in creating fodder cultivars. Some authorities consider the synonym Secale strictumC.Presl. to have priority.
Secale vaviloviiSecale vavilovii is a species of grass (family Poaceae), native to Turkey, the Transcaucasus, Iraq, and Iran. An annual, it is a crop wild relative of rye (Secale cereale) and is being studied for its resistance to Fusarium ear blight and Septoria leaf blotch.Secale segetaleSecale segetale, the weed rye, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It has a nearly Irano-Turanian distribution; the Caucasus, Iraq, Iran, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the western Himalayas, and Xinjiang. An annual reaching 100 cm (39 in), it is typically found as a weed in wheat fields. It can be distinguished from rye (Secale cereale) by its fragile rachis.Secale africanumSecale africanum, the African rye, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is native to the Cape Provinces. An annual or perennial tufted grass reaching 1 m (3 ft), it is found only in the Roggeveld (the ryefield) at elevations from 1,400 to 1,900 m (4,600 to 6,200 ft). Highly palatable to livestock, it has been assessed as Critically Endangered due to overgrazing.
Secale sylvestreSecale sylvestre is a wild relative of rye (S. cereale).
RyeRye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop. It is grown principally in an area from Eastern and Northern Europe into Russia. It is much more tolerant of cold weather and poor soil than other cereals, making it useful in those regions; its vigorous growth suppresses weeds and provides abundant forage for animals early in the year. It is a member of the wheat tribe (Triticeae) which includes the cereals wheat and barley.
BarleyBarley (Hordeum vulgare), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. One of the first cultivated grains, it was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 9000 BC, giving it nonshatteringspikelets and making it much easier to harvest. Its use then spread throughout Eurasia by 2000 BC. Barley prefers relatively low temperatures and well-drained soil to grow.
WheatWheat is a group of wild and domesticated grasses of the genus Triticum (). As cereals, they are cultivated for their grains, which are staple foods around the world. Well-known wheat species and hybrids include the most widely grown common wheat (T. aestivum), spelt, durum, emmer, einkorn, and Khorasan or Kamut. The archaeological record suggests that wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the Fertile Crescent around 9600 BC.
TriticeaeTriticeae is a botanical tribe within the subfamily Pooideae of grasses that includes genera with many domesticated species. Major crop genera found in this tribe include wheat (see wheat taxonomy), barley, and rye; crops in other genera include some for human consumption, and others used for animal feed or rangeland protection. Among the world's cultivated species, this tribe has some of the most complex genetic histories.
GrassGrass refers to various families of plants. The three major families of grasslike plants are true grasses (Poaceae), sedges (Cyperaceae), and rushes (Juncaceae). Lawns and pasturelands are typically composed of true grasses, five of which cover 46% of the world's arable land: rice, wheat, maize, barley, and sugar cane.
