All are native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia; two species have been collected in the Flora region. <i>Secale cereale</i> is cultivated as a crop and used along roadsides to prevent soil erosion, and is established in the Flora region. <i>Secale strictum</i> has been cultivated experimentally; it is not established in the Flora region.</p><!-- --><p>Unlike other cereal grasses such as <i>Triticum</i>, <i>Hordeum</i>, and <i>Avena</i>, species of <i>Secale</i> are outcrossing, although 5. sylvestre Host is reported to be self-compatible. All three species are diploids. Remains of cultivated rye dating to 6000 B.C. have been found in Turkey.</p><!-- --><p>xTriticosecale is an artificially derived hybrid between <i>Triticum</i> and <i>Secale</i> that is now widely cultivated (see p. 261).</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=frederiksen1998a |text=Frederiksen, S. and G.
