Estimates of heterosis for five agronomic traits in selected winter x spring and winter x winter wheat crosses (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell)

Creator:

Brajcich, P.

Abstract:

Concern regarding the lack of genetic variability and the apparent yield plateau reached in wheat breeding have prompted this investigation. The systematic crossing of spring and winter wheat types which have evolved to form somewhat different gene pools, may provide a source of additional usable genetic variability for future yield...

Masters Thesis
Nature of inheritance, genotype-environment interaction and association of selected agronomic characters in crosses of winter X spring wheats (triticum aestivum L. em Thell)

Creator:

Brajcich, P.

Abstract:

This investigation was motivated by the apparent increase in genetic variability resulting from the systematic combining of gene pools represented by winter and spring types of wheats. It was the objective of this study to provide information regarding the nature of this genetic variability for nine agronomic characters in populations...
