Aegilops tauschii contributed two chromosomes, and T. turgidum contributed four chromosomes.
Diploid = 2n. Tetraploid = 4n. Hexaploid = 6n.
Therefore, following meiosis you get 1n + 2n = 3n.
3n gamete ---> 6n somatic cell.
An aegilops is an ulcer or fistula in the inner angle of the eye, or the wild-oat or another grass found as a corn-weed.
