A) Secale
B) Triticale
C) Triticum
D) Cicer arietinum
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Triticale is a man made cereal and is obtained from intergeneric cross between Triticum and Secale and is of two types. (i) Haxaploid obtained by crossing between tetraploid durum wheat with diploid rye followed by chromosome doubling. (ii) Octoptoid obtained by crossing between hexaploid bread wheat with diploid rye, followed by chromosome doubling. Triricale is used as forage crop because grains are wrinkled and flour does not form chapatis.
