| | Einkorn wheat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Einkorn wheat was one of the earliest cultivated varieties of wheat. | | | Einkorn wheat is a wild species of wheat, Triticum boeoticum (the spelling baeoticum is also common). | | | Einkorn is a diploid species with a shattering ear and small seeds, making it difficult to harvest. |

| | Wheat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Around 9000 years ago, wild einkorn wheat was harvested and domesticated in the first archeological signs of sedentary farming in the fertile crescent. | | | Wheat may suffer from the attack of insects at the root; from blight, which primarily affects the leaf or straw, and ultimately deprives the grain of sufficient nourishment; from mildew on the ear; and from gum of different shades, which lodges on the chaff or cups in which the grain is deposited. | | | Wheat is also planted strictly as a forage crop for livestock and as a hay. |

| | International Starch Institute: Wheat Starch |
| | Wheat crops are generally rotated with maize, hay, and pasture in regions with moderate rainfall and are rotated with oats and barley, or bare fallowing in drier regions. | | | The common wheats grown in northern Europe, Russia, the United States, and Canada are spring and winter wheats, planted either in the spring for summer harvest or in autumn for spring harvest. | | | Diseases of wheat are connected with parasitic fungi. |

| | Ancient Wheats and New Perspective |
| | Einkorn, Emmer, Khorasan/Kamut and Spelt are among the earliest cultivated wheats and commonly are referred to as “ancient wheats.” Except for Khorasan/Kamut, each of these wheat crops produces hulled or covered grains at harvest, i.e. | | | Lutein is the major yellow pigment in wheat grains, and the elevated level of lutein in einkorn wheat may pave the way for the development of function wheat market. | | | In general, ancient wheats represent a rich source of genetic diversity for improvement of agronomic and grain characteristics of modern pasta and bread wheats. |

| | While winter wheat is grown in the yellow region, the blue region is the growing region of spring wheat. | | | Since wheat is a self pollinated, perfect flowered plant, the first requirement for producing hybrid wheat seed on a large scale is a mechanism for producing male sterility. | | | Since wheat is a perfect flowered plant (male and female organs in the same flower), the male organs (anthers) have to be removed (emasculation) from the flowers of the parent designated as female, living the pistil (female organ) intact. |

| | In these contexts lie the origins of the eight so-called founder crops of agriculture: firstly emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, then hulled barley, pea, lentil, bitter vetch, chick pea and flax. | | | Higher yields are due to improvements in genetics, as well as use of intensive farming techniques (use of fertilizers, chemical pest control, growth control to avoid lodging). | | | South American average wheat yields are around 2 t/ha, African under 1 t/ha, Egypt and Arabia up to 3.5 to 4 t/ha with irrigation. |

| | Athena Review: Plant Domestication, Old World: Initial site of einkorn cultivation |
| | Einkorn, the first wheat crop of Old World, Neolithic agriculture, is a hulled wheat that typically produces one grain per spikelet. | | | Wild einkorn is so morphologically similar to the cultivated form that it does not constitute an independent species, but is designated as a subspecies, boeoticum, of T. | | | Most often archaeological evidence for einkorn cultivation consists of charred grains which lack the anatomical parts necessary to track the transition from wild to cultivated forms. |

| | When it hybridized with cultivated emmer wheat spreading east from the crescent, the result was bread wheat, the most valuable single crop in the modern world. | | | Moreover, they reveal that cultivated einkorn plants, as botanists had suspected, are remarkably similar genetically and in appearance to their ancestral wild varieties, which seems to explain the relatively rapid transition to farming indicated by archaeological evidence. | | | Genetically and morphologically, cultivated einkorn is quite similar to wild einkorn in general. |
