D-genome of common cultivated wheat has been contributed by

A.
T. monococcum
B.
T. durum
C.
T. timophivi
D.
Ae squarosa
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
D-genome of common cultivated wheat has been contributed by Ae squarosa.
The D genome of allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum, 2n = AABBDD) is the least diverse of the three wheat genomes and is unarguably less diverse than that of diploid progenitor Aegilops tauschii (2n = DD).
Aegilops tauschii (synonyms Aegilops squarrosa, Triticum tauschii), is a wild goatgrass that was one of the parent species of bread wheat.
