Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance of a synthetic hexaploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L. x Aegilops tauschii Coss.)

Creator:

Rosa, Andre Cunha

Abstract:

Pre-harvest sprouting in wheat costs farmers millions of dollars every year. Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PST) has minimized this problem, but improvement of PST is still necessary. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (synthetics) have been used as sources of genes coding for many useful traits. Two studies evaluated the PST of a synthetic...

Chemically induced pollen supression and subsequent natural outcrossing in selected wheat cultivars (Tritcum aestivum L. en Thell)

Creator:

Lewis, Hal A.

Abstract:

Effective chemical control of pollination would provide an alternative to the cytoplasmic male-sterile system in hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this study was to determine concentration, formulation, growth stage of application and genotypic effects on levels of induced pollen suppression and subsequent natural out-crossing from foliar...
