Hybrids between wheat and jointed goatgrass have long been presumed to be sterile; however, seed were found on hybrid plants in 1990. Field studies were conducted in 1995 and repeated in 1996. One to ten hybrid plants were planted in variable populations of wheat and jointed goatgrass to determine the...
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...
