Wheats (Triticum) - PictureThis

Wheats

Wheats is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food. Leaves emerge from the shoot apical meristem in a telescoping fashion until the transition to reproduction ie. flowering. The last leaf is denser and has a higher photosynthetic rate than other leaves, to supply carbohydrate to the developing ear. Wheats is unusual among plants in having more stomata on the upper (adaxial) side of the leaf, than on the under (abaxial) side. Wheats roots are among the deepest of arable crops.
