[[wikipedia:Triticale|Triticale]] is a hybrid of wheat and rye. First bred in the late 19th century, Triticale was later introduced into science fiction on a popular episode of the show ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' called "[[wikipedia:The Trouble with Tribbles|The Trouble with Tribbles]]," wherein a grain derived from Triticale, "quadro-triticale," is superior to regular Triticale in that it contains four distinct lobes per kernel. Triticale appeared again in ''[[wikipedia:Star Trek: The Animated Series|Star Trek: The Animated Series]]'' in the form of "quinto-triticale" that had five lobes per kernel. It is probable, then, that the Deca-Triticale used by Space Pirates had ten lobes per kernel. | |||
