Wheat is the general name of the genus Triticum. The representative species is common wheat, which is a gramineous plant and a cereal crop, and is widely planted all over the world. The fruit is caryopsis, and the peel and seed coat are closely attached together, so it is very thin and difficult to see with the naked eye, so it is called angiosperm.

Wheat caryopsis is one of the staple foods of human beings. After grinding into flour, it can be made into bread, steamed bread, biscuits, noodles and other foods. After fermentation, it can be made into beer, alcohol, white wine (such as vodka) or biomass fuel.

Wheat is one of the three major cereals, almost all of which can be eaten, and only about one-sixth of which is used as feed. The two river basins are the earliest areas for growing wheat in the world, and China is one of the earliest countries for growing wheat in the world.

After China discovered Yunnan wheat subspecies, he discovered the original type of common wheat with self-broken ears in Tibet Plateau. There is a huge primary community of Aegilops tauschii in Yili Valley (commonly known as Aegilops tauschii in China), while Aegilops tauschii has been mixed with wheat fields in the middle reaches of the Yellow River for a long time. These facts are of great significance for studying the origin, evolution and spread of wheat in China.

Biological characteristics of angiosperms

The habits, shapes and sizes of angiosperms vary greatly, from tiny floating grasses to giant eucalyptus trees. Most of them grow upright, but some of them grow by winding, crawling or relying on the mechanical support of other plants. It contains chlorophyll and makes its own nutrients, but it is also saprophytic and parasitic.
