Question

Briefly describe the origin of the Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Answer 1

Hint: Traditional wheat, also known as bread wheat, is a cultivated species of wheat. Common wheat is about 95% of the wheat produced worldwide; it is the most commonly grown of all crops and the cereal with the highest monetary yield.

Complete answer:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum, T. durum) is a member of the grass family that grows cereal grain in spring and winter. It is the most essential cereal in the world for the production and use of human food and animal feed. Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is thought to have arisen from one or more unusual hybridization events between Aegilops tauschii and the tetraploid Triticum turgidum. The progenitor of the A-genome of tetraploid and hexaploid wheat was widely accepted as Triticum. Urartu. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most essential cereal crops in the Poaceae family and the most commonly grown for human and animal feeding.

During the early Holocene, common wheat was first domesticated in Western Asia and spread from there in the prehistoric era to North Africa, Europe and East Asia. Bread wheat has proved well adapted to modern industrial baking worldwide and has replaced many of the other species of wheat, barley, and rye that were once widely used, particularly in Europe, for bread making.

Note: Compact wheat (e.g. Triticum compactum club wheat, but T. sphaerococcum in India) is closely similar to common wheat but has an ear that is far more compact. Triticum compactum or club wheat is a wheat species adapted to the growing conditions of low humidity.
