Van Slageren ( 1994 ) followed Mac Key ( 1977 , 1989 ) in that taxa at the species
and subspecies level should only contain “commercially” cultivated wheat and their
closest wild relatives. Artifi cial autoploids or amphiploids should be included in a
nothogenus and excluded from Triticum ; the same accounts for interspecifi c crosses
that should be subsumed into nothospecies. He formulated three sections, a total of
six species, and 17 subspecies. Goncharov et al. ( 2009 ) published the most recent
taxonomic revision for Triticum. They mainly followed the principles of Dorofeev
