A comparison of two methods of divergent mass selection for heading date in two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) crosses

Creator:

Frederickson, Leslie John

Abstract:

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 expression of embryo maturation genes in wheat and the role of abscisic acid

Creator:

Berge-Chandler, Sonja Kay

Abstract:

A set of genes which show developmental and tissue specificity are expressed late in embryo maturation during grain formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Two members of this maturation gene set (MGS) are Em and triticin, a 7S globulin. Results presented here show that during embryogenesis, the expression of Em mRNA...
