Wheat, common name for members of genus Triticum of the GRASS family (Gramineae) and for the CEREAL grains produced by these grasses. Wheat is the most important cereal in the world: with rice and maize it accounts for about 73% of world cereal production. Canada is the world's sixth-largest producer and one of the largest exporters of wheat, producing annually an average of over 25 million t and exporting about 19 million t. Cultivated forms evolved from natural crossings of wild species, followed by domestication and selection by humans. Wheat was domesticated in Southwest Asia over thousands of years and spread across Asia, Africa and Europe. Introduction to the New World took place in the late 15th and 16th centuries. The most important modern cultivated species (ie, cultivars) are common and durum wheats, usually given the binomial designations T. aestivum and T. turgidum var. durum, respectively.
