Abstract
CONSIDERABLE attention is currently being paid to the possible use of Triticale as a new crop; indeed, a variety has already been named in Canada1. Triticale is a hybrid genus of synthetic amphiploids which have the full chromosome complements of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale). Octoploid forms, of Triticale have fifty-six chromosomes, made up of the forty-two of the hexaploid bread wheat (T. aestivum) and the fourteen of a rye species. Hexaploid forms have forty-two chromosomes, comprising twenty-eight from one of the subspecies of tetraploid wheat (T. turgidum) and fourteen from rye.
