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...
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...
