To study the grain filling traits in wheat, two winter cultivars
and four spring cultivars were selected. The resulting Fl, F2, F3 and
backcrosses were tested. The following measurements were made:
a) Visual traits for physiological maturity (PM),
b) Grain dry weight accumulation,
c) Regression models for grain filling period,...
Concerns about the genetic control and environmental influence
of various stages of development including the grain filling period,
and the relationship between early maturity and grain yield prompted
this study.
The experimental material consisted of two facultative and two
winter wheat cultivars. A dial!el cross, excluding reciprocals, was
also developed...
The lack of information regarding the inheritance of the duration and rate of
grain filling, and the possible relationship between grain fill and grain protein
content in wheat prompted this study.
Early maturing Chinese cultivars, 'AI Feng 2' and 'CB 83-52', and late
maturing cultivars adapted to Oregon, 'Stephens' and...
