Sorry for the delay in more info on this.
For those who find the chart confusing, my best advise is to look at
it like a family tree, i.e., the "species" are children and the other
groups are parents. Don't let the latin snow you. The part I found
interesting were the relationships between grains.
No, I'm not a biochemist, but just looking at how wheat, barley and
rye are more closly related than oats explains to me why many celiacs
can tolerate oats (though they are still not recommended on the diet).
It's just an interesting chart, and a starting point for those who
find it worth looking into more.
As for a reference, I found it, without a reference, in a publication
from CSA. Again, I just thought it was interesting, and for those who
want to persue it more, a good botony reference book should have more
info.
