LABORATORY TECHNIQUES FOR DISTINGUISHING WINTER WHEAT CULTIVARS

Seeds of six cultivars of winter wheat were planted under controlled environments in media treated with gibberellic acid. Seedlings of Yorkstar and Gaines differed from the other cultivars in showing less elongation of leaves and leaf sheath. A key was constructed for separating the six cultivars by...

Description
Summary:Seeds of six cultivars of winter wheat were planted under controlled environments in media treated with gibberellic acid. Seedlings of Yorkstar and Gaines differed from the other cultivars in showing less elongation of leaves and leaf sheath. A key was constructed for separating the six cultivars by means of seed and seedling methods (phenol test, coleoptile color and response to gibberellic acid).
