Don't know if anyone included it or not (after the first few
posts with this subject, I started skimming)
but here it is straight from the ST Encyclopedia.

"quadrotriticale.  Genetically engineered grain developed on Earth
from a four-lobed hybrid of wheat and rye. The parent strain, triticale, was discovered in 20th-century Canada. Quadrotriticale was the only Earth grain that would grow on Sherman's Planet, and was thus critical to the Federation's plan in 2267 to develop that world.
A large quantity of quadrotriticale was stored on Deep Space Station K-7
for that project, but it was poisoned by a Klingon agent. ("The Trouble with Tribbles" [TOS]). SEE: Darvin, Arne; Jones, Cyrano; tribbles.
Quark owed some quadrotriticale futures, but they became worthless in 2373. (Business As Usual" [DS9])."
