| Description | Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a domesticated grass from the Levant that is cultivated worldwide. Major cultivated species of wheat:
* Common wheat or Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) A hexaploid species that is the most widely cultivated in the world.
* Durum (Triticum durum) The only tetraploid form of wheat widely used today, and the second most widely cultivated wheat.
* Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) A diploid species with wild and cultivated variants. Domesticated at the same time as emmer wheat, but never reached the same importance.
* Emmer (Triticum dicoccon) A tetraploid species, cultivated in ancient times but no longer in widespread use.
* Spelt (Triticum spelta) Another hexaploid species cultivated in limited quantities.
