It highlights Nilsson-Ehle's 1908 research on polygenic inheritance in wheat, illustrating that traits like kernel color involve multiple gene pairs, leading to variations. This concept aids in understanding human diseases, as multiple genes can interact to influence conditions such as cancer.

Wheat is one of the oldest crop species, originating in Turkey probably close to 10, 000 years ago, although some researchers place its origin even older. As described below what we call 'wheat' is at least three different entities, differing in chromosome number, evolutionary history and also features related to harvesting and baking.

GA's mechanism involves inhibiting DELLA proteins that activate growth-related genes.
