The effectiveness of early generation selection for yield and
yield stability and the possible identification of superior parental
combinations were studied in winter wheat populations representing
different levels of genetic diversity. Experimental material for
evaluating yield stability consisted of nine bulk and seven modified
bulk populations derived from nine parental...
Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...
Seven winter wheats were evaluated for plant height, the components
of yield and yield in a diallel cross at Pendleton, Oregon and
Lind, Washington. An additional parent was added to the diallel cross
at Pullman, Washington. Two levels of nitrogen and five replications
were utilized at each of the locations....
Responses to two cycles of mass selection for heading date,
followed by selfing or intermating, were studied in two diverse
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) crosses. Selection
was bidirectional, resulting in early and late populations for
each mating system, cycle, and cross. The influence of mass
selection for...
The major objective of this study was to determine why certain
winter wheat cultivars, when hybridized, will produce a greater proportion
of desirable plants in subsequent, segregating generations.
Three winter wheat parents were chosen as the experimental material,
based on their known performance as parents. Yamhill and
Pullman Selection 101...
Extensive research has been devoted to evaluating potential
genotype-environment interactions. However, plant breeders are still in
need of a simple way to describe how genotypes respond to different
locations and years. In an environmentally diverse state like Oregon,
significant genotype-environment interactions do occur The resulting lack
of association between actual...
Five winter wheat cultivars and their diallel crosses were evaluated for plant height, harvest index, deading-maturity duration, the components of yield, (spikes per plant, spikelets per spike, kernel weight and kernels per spikelet)and total plant yield. Two diverse locations, Moro, a dryland site (250 mm annually) located in central Oregon...
The Asian noodle market is responsible for the increased volume of wheat
imported to that region in recent years. Soft white wheat produced in the Pacific
Northwest is mainly used for baked products, whereas an Australian wheat,
Australian Standard White, is preferred for noodles. To enter this market soft
white-wheat...
