The father\/mother of common Bread wheat: Aegilops tauschii from Dachhigam, Kashmir:<\/a>
\nOur common wheat plant Triticum aestivum<\/i> has a complicated history of origin. In the first step diploid Triticum urartu<\/i> (till recently considered under T. monococcum<\/i>) hybridized with possibly Aegilops speltoides<\/i> and subsequent duplication of chromosomes to yield tetraploid wild emer wheat Triticum dicoccoides<\/i>. Latter hybridized again with diploid Aegilops tauschii<\/i>, another duplication of chromosomes to yield hexaploid Triticum aestivum<\/i> that fills the bellies of people all over the world.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
I was fortunate to click this immediate progenitor of wheat growing commonly in Dachhigam forest.<\/span><\/div>\n
