(A) Wild emmer wheat growing in a natural stand in Israel (image credit: Zvi Peleg). (B) Wild emmer (blue) is the progenitor for both major wheat types consumed today, bread and durum pasta wheat. The Brittle raquis 1 (Btr1) genes on the A and B genomes control the shattering of the spike, a major domestication traits. The combination of recessive mutations (lowercase) in both genomes leads to the non-brittle phenotype of domesticated wheat.
