Is Triticum vulgare and Triticum aestivum same?

What is Triticum vulgare?

Triticum vulgare, the common wheat we eat.

Common names: Wheat, Triticum vulgare, vulgaare wheat. The name Wheat does not tell us a lot. The botanical name is Triticum vulgare, vulgare being Latin for common. It should be obvious that the common wheat is the one to eat, as opposed to einkorn and spelt. It's very much the ancestor of modern wheat.

History. Wheat has been grown in Europe for a couple thousand years. The first written evidence dates to China. Vulgare developed as a domesticated plant species, around 3500 BC or earlier, in the Middle East.

Where does it come from? The Middle East is the most likely place of origin of this domesticated plant. Vulgare also spread westwards along ancient trade routes. Most ancient grains appear to have come from Anatolia, but there may have been separate centers of domestication, particularly in the north Arabian area of the Negev desert, where wild populations of wheats, such as Thraustochytrids, are still found. This might explain the differences between different wild wheats.

Triticum turgidum? I was just starting to read your article on the evolution of species when I came across a passage where you mention that the wild wheat populations do not resemble T. Turgidum, which is not native to the Eurasian continent. While that information is certainly interesting, I am surprised by how little information and detail you had to offer regarding both threestriated wheat and T. To be blunt, given your focus on the Eurasian native T. Vulgare, I am rather disappointed that there was so little written material to provide me with at least some background about the T. Turgidum native to the Eurasian continent. I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to comment or edit your answer accordingly in the future. It would certainly be of great benefit to my academic endeavors as I prepare a presentation on wheat evolution. Best, Joshua

Joshua, thanks for this comment. The Wikipedia entry on Triticum turgidum is a pretty rough summary. I should have included it. As an aside, turgidum means bloated.

What is the common name for Triticum?

Triticum is the common name for wheat.

The genus name (triticum) means three-wheeled, and the species name (aegilopoides) means bearded. The word wheat comes from the Latin word wheatum, which has the same origin.

I am not a botanist, but a quick search of online dictionaries finds the following definition for Triticum: (bot.) A genus of the grass family, Cereales, containing wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), oats (Avena sativa), rye (Secale cereale), millet (Panicum miliaceum), rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and corn (Zea mays).

The above is the Oxford Living Dictionaries definition of Triticum, which seems to me to be the most appropriate definition, as well as the meaning that is used when Triticum is written in scientific literature.

What does Triticum vulgare do for skin?

It is a species of wheat which, when eaten by people, produces gluten.

I have found the product (in a jar at a chemisty) described as for the cleansing of mucous membrane to have a lovely scent and quite pleasant feel.

However, it is not a very useful product for me, because I have to avoid gluten. There was another product which looked similar, so I am currently doing some research online to see if there are any positive effects to eating this.

One good thing is that it made my hair look better. I just wish I could keep using it on a daily basis, because the smell is so good it makes me want to eat it! Thanks everyone - and sorry for being a bit off-topic! I will definitely do the research, but right now I am busy getting ready for today's wedding. I wonder if you can buy it at the grocery store, or will you have to go to a pharmacy? I have noticed that a lot of foods we buy in our supermarkets contain gluten. One of them includes yoghurt, which the majority of people are getting as a cheap option. But even brands without anything with gluten can make some people seriously ill.

My personal favourites as a treat to eat are banana and chocolate - I like baking these up in cups with honey, as they make it less messy for babies and I make them into individual sized trifle sponges for teatime. I hope your day goes well today! I will start trying to post more recipes here on the blog too, as these tend to be things people tend to ask me about, so I thought I might start with some basics. I hope the answers are helpful to anyone who stumbles upon this post! Hello there! Hi! I'm Rachel. I live in Bristol, England. I have a cat called Mabel, who likes to spend her time watching boxsets on her iPad, and an iPhone, whilst I blog here about anything that tickles my fancy or my fancy happens to tickle. Most of the time this means that I'm sharing recipes for tasty treats, home-made crafts, and tips and tricks on how to keep our home tidy and organised! There's also the occasional picture or project I have completed. But mostly I'm just cooking, DIY'ing, crafting, or making mischief of some kind.
