What is special about the word Aegilops?
The word “Aegilops” is claimed to be the longest word in the English language to have all of its letters in alphabetical order.
What is the ploidy of Triticm aestivum?
T. aestivum L. is hexaploid (AABBDD) with an entire 42 chromosomes (2n=42) , sixfold seven chromosomes) . Similarly, the varied wheat species also contain some multiple of the essential haploid set of seven chromosomes.
What is the most commonly used word in English?
The
‘The’ tops the league tables of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100 words used. “’The’ really is miles above everything else,” says Jonathan Culpeper, professor of linguistics at Lancaster University.
What is the L in Triticum aestivum L?
Common wheat
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum), also known as bread wheat, is a cultivated wheat species. About 95% of wheat produced worldwide is common wheat; it is the most widely grown of all crops and the cereal with the highest monetary yield….

Is Triticum turgidum a hexaploid?
A single hexaploid species, T. aestivum, contains the AB genomes of T. turgidum combined with the D genome from the related wild species Aegilops squarrosa (also called Triticum tauschii ). This “bread wheat” is the dominant species in world agriculture. Most bread wheat is the free threshing var.
How many species of Triticum are there?
The genus Triticum includes a wide range of species, but only two species are grown commercially to a large extent: Triticum aestivum—bread or common wheat, which is genetically hexaploid with genomes A, B and D; Triticum durum—macaroni or durum wheat, genetically tetraploid, with genomes A and B (see Chapter 6).
What is Triticum durum wheat used for?
Triticum durum – macaroni or durum wheat, genetically tetraploid, with genomes A and B. Over 90% of the wheat grown worldwide is T. aestivum. It is used for a wide range of applications, including bread, cakes, pastries, biscuits, puddings, thickeners and noodles.
What is the difference between T turgidum and T timopheevii?
Since T. turgidum is older than T. timopheevii, the B genome has diverged more from the S genome of Ae. speltoides than the G genome. The G genome is virtually identical to the S genome at the molecular level but it differs from it, as well as from the B genome, by major structural chromosome rearrangements.
