Autotriploid Triticum speltoides and T. bicorne (2n=3x=21) were produced by pollinating autotetraploids with pollen from their respective diploids. The autotriploid plants were vigorous, male sterile, and morphologically resembled their diploid parents. At meiosis, T. speltoides (3x) averaged 2.52 u...
