By Haitham Mohyeldein Elsayed

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the first important and strategic cereal crop for the majority of world's population including Egypt. It is the important stable food (edible grain) of about two billion people (36% of the world population); provides nearly 55% of the carbohydrates and 20% of the food calories consumed globally. It is the major cereal crop of rabi season and is grown in almost parts of Egypt. Because of its high economic value and place among the food crops, it is also known as the "The King of Cereals". Wheat belongs to the tribe Triticeae in the grass family Poaceae (Gramineae).
