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:: 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:: Masood, Muhammad Shahid
Abstract:: A major factor limiting the efficiency of plant improvement programs is the lack of knowledge as to which parental combinations to make when working with quantitatively inherited traits. The primary objective of this study was to provide information regarding the use of combining ability analysis to predict which cross combinations...

Creator:: Pedretti, Ricardo
Abstract:: Six genetically diverse dwarfing sources of winter wheat were compared to four isogenic lines for the height reducing genes Rht₁ and Rht₂. Parents and generations through the F₃ including backcrosses to the respective parents were analyzed. Seedling response to gibberellic acid and tests for allelism for plant height were employed...
