Etymology
The word "triticale" is a portmanteau of the genus names Triticum (wheat) and Secale (rye). It was first coined in 1889 by the German scientist Wilhelm Rimpau.
Meaning
Triticale is a hybrid cereal that combines the desirable traits of wheat and rye. It is a bread wheat with the genetic material of rye, which gives it superior drought tolerance and disease resistance.
Origin
Triticale was developed in the late 19th century by crossing wheat and rye. The first successful cross was made in 1875 by the Scottish botanist Robert Hutchison. However, it was not until the 1930s that triticale began to be developed as a commercial crop.
Today, triticale is grown in over 50 countries around the world. It is a valuable cereal crop because it is tolerant to drought, cold, and disease, and it produces high yields. Triticale is used to make flour, bread, pasta, and other food products.
