Creator:: Mendoza, Maria Graciela
Abstract:: A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

Creator:: Albahouh, Muhammed S.
Abstract:: To remain competitive in the international marketplace, soft white wheat cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest must have consistent and predictable flour properties including kernel texture. As a consequence, there is a need to develop wheat cultivars for specific end uses. Wheat cultivars with very soft kernels are used largely...

Creator:: Mou, Beiquan
Abstract:: The lack of information regarding the inheritance of the duration and rate of grain filling, and the possible relationship between grain fill and grain protein content in wheat prompted this study. Early maturing Chinese cultivars, 'AI Feng 2' and 'CB 83-52', and late maturing cultivars adapted to Oregon, 'Stephens' and...

Creator:: Cerono, Julio Cesar
Abstract:: Drought is a major limiting abiotic stress influencing wheat production in many parts of the world. The erratic nature of water deficits makes breeding and selection for drought resistance deficient. In environments with late season drought stress, yield losses are usually associated with kernel abortion or reduction in kernel growth....

Creator:: Encinas-Mungarro, Andres
Abstract:: Strawbreaker foot-rot is a major limiting factor to cost efficient winter wheat production in the Pacific Northwest. Development of resistant cultivars has been hindered by the lack of adequate levels of genetic resistance and screening techniques which can consistently detect desired genotypes. Studies were conducted to determine if the reported...
