Modern wheat cultivars are either tetraploid (durum, AABB) or hexaploid (common and club-types, AABBDD).

The present invention provides a method for the production of hybrid wheat based on the ability to stably maintaining a genic male-sterile female parental line of common and durum wheat.

Durum wheat was less susceptible to stem rust than bread wheat varieties available at that time.

In fact, the genome for common bread wheat is actually 6.5 times larger than that of the human genome!

Common bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), for instance, has over 23,788 proteins cataloged thus far.

For instance, his enemies have charged that he sold a great quantity of ordinary wheat seed under the name of "Miracle Wheat" at one dollar per pound, or sixty dollars per bushel.
