Triticum compactum (Club Wheat) Host 1809
annual and medicinal plant species in the poaceae family

T. compactum is similar enough to common wheat (T. aestivum) that it is often considered a subspecies, T. aestivum compactum. It can be distinguished by its more compact ear due to shorter rachis segments, giving it its common name. In the United States of America, nearly all T. compactum is grown in dry areas of the Pacific Northwest. T. compactum is a hexaploid with 42 chromosomes. T. compactum, like other club wheats, has been selectively bred for its lower protein content. Due to the process
