    Notes: Summary Harvest index was studied in F1 and F2 generations of eight wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crosses and their reciprocals. The parental varieties involved in the crosses represented a fairly wide range of character expression for plant height, tillering potential, grain yield per plant and harvest index. Differences between reciprocal crosses were not evident for the expression of harvest index of the crosses under study. Means and degrees of dominance of F1 and F2 populations suggested partial dominance of high harvest index over low harvest index. The pattern of variation among F2 segregates was quantitative and the distribution was normal. The gene action governing the expression of harvest index was largely additive. Evidence was obtained for non-additive gene action in some crosses. There was complete absence of high parent heterosis for harvest index in the F1's but midparent heterosis was found to be present in all crosses. Estimates of heritability and genetic advance were moderate to high. Usefulness of selecting for harvest index as a measure of yield efficiency particularly in early generations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Segŕegating populations of the cross Tordo (a spring white-grained Tom Thumb derivative) and Tr 454-16 (a spring white-grained Sonora-Gabo derivative) were studied for plant height, apparent α-amylase synthesis (AAS) and response to gibberellic acid. Means, variances and heritabilities for these characters were computed and their association was studied by computing correlation coefficients. Plant height showed high heritability while AAS and response to GA3 showed moderate heritability. Plant height was positively correlated with AAS and response to GA3. The results pointed out the importance of using Tom Thumb as a source of pre-harvest sprouting tolerance in a wheat breeding programme, particularly in areas where wheat breeding is restricted to evolving white-grained cultivars.

    Notes: Summary Variation in pigment content of the flour of bread wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in the progenies of F1 and F2 of three crosses and their reciprocals. Reciprocal differences in pigment content were observed in the F1 and F2 means. Low pigment content was found to be partially dominant or over dominant in the crosses studied. There was evidence of substantial mid-parent F1 heterosis in all crosses and betterparent F1 heterosis in three crosses. In the F2, heritability estimates were moderate to high. The F2 frequency distributions were not normal. Estimation of effective factor pairs indicated the presence of one or two major gene pairs involved in the expression of pigment content in the flour. Action of modifiers was also assumed in one cross and its reciprocal. A factorial approach to metrical character suggested that the F2 segregation ratios of low pigment content to high pigment content were 3:1, 15:1, 13:3 and 9:7 for the different crosses. Utilization of the findings in a wheat breeding program is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary The problem of pre-harvest sprouting in wheat is very intricate. New concepts in breeding for resistance to pre-harvest sprouting regard many components such as α-amylase production potential, response to gibberellic acid and inhibition in the bracts as important as dormancy. In the research work carried out at The University of Sydney's Plant Breeding Institute, we found varietal differences for each of these components. We also developed criteria for screening breeding material for these components. The implications of our findings in planning efficient breeding programmes to evolve varieties with multiple resistance to pre-harvest sprouting have been discussed briefly.

    Notes: Summary Three sets of hard spring wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) comprising commercial cultivars and advanced generation breeding lines were studied in six different environments, to determine the genotype x environment interactions, heritabilities and correlations among nine quality traits in wheat. Significant genotype x environment interactions indicated that the bread making quality evaluations must be undertaken for several environments. Among the quality traits considered, test weight, flour yield, grain and flour proteins and particle size index were highly heritable. Baking score and baking volume indicated moderate heritabilities. Significant positive correlations existed between protein content (grain and flour) and baking traits, between grain protein and flour protein, and between baking score and baking volume. Flour yield and particle size index were found to be negatively correlated. Implications of these findings on wheat breeding procedures are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Interrelationships among production characters were determined both by simple correlation and path coefficient analyses, using ecogeographically diverse spring wheat genotypes. Simple correlation analysis indicated that kernel weight correlated positively with plant height and negatively with heading time. Also spike number and kernel weight showed highly positive and heading time highly negative correlations with grain yield. Path coefficient analysis was useful in that it revealed the true nature of cause-and-effect relationships of heading time, plant height, spike number and kernel weight with grain yield. Wherever feasible, path coefficient analysis should be conducted in addition to simple correlation analysis.

    Notes: The shrinkage of commercial oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) filaments was studied within the framework of the kinetic theory of rubberlike elasticity. Previous workers had found that the shrinkage and optical behavior of amorphous polymers could be satisfactorily explained in terms of this theory. Such an analysis is now applied to semicrystalline samples of moderate and high draw ratios (from 2× to 6×).It was found in this work that the thermal shrinkage force behavior as well as the optical anisotropy as a function of stretch can be explained in terms of the theory of rubberlike elasticity, if the following reasonable assumption is made: the average number of statistical segments per network chain in the noncrosslinked sample increases as a function of the draw ratio. A possible mechanism for such behavior is the relaxation of some of the chain entaglements due to the strain imposed externally on the fiber.
