    Screening a Wheat Collection for Leaf Position at Different Stages of Growth (1986)

    Notes: A collection of hexaploid -wheat consisting of 1400 entries from 36 countries was screened for leaf position at four stages of growth over two years. At the shooting stage, more than 80 % of the entries showed the curved position of the flag and the second leaf, about 15 % the erect position, while the horizontal position did not occur. At the heading stage more than 10 % of the genotypes with curved and some with erect position assumed horizontal position. At the milk stage, half of the genotypes with the erect position in earlier stages of growth assumed horizontal and even pendulous position; the majority of genotypes had curved position of leaves. At the dough stage, only about 2 % of the genotypes maintained erect flag leaf position, while 45 % had curved and about 45 % pendulous position of leaves.When an erect leaf assumes horizontal position, the lamina is completely straight without any curving, which is different from genotypes classified as having horizontal position at heading and milk stage. The position of the second leaf, in general, followed the pattern of the flag leaf. Through the stages of growth the curved position was more stable than either erect or horizontal positions. Leaves were more erect and stable in position under conditions with lower rainfall and higher temperatures (1983) than in the rainy year with lower temperatures (1984). Most of the high-yielding cultivars with short straw had a curved position, which is probably the consequence of unintended selection to fit a dense canopy.

    Designing a Wheat Ideotype with Increased Sink Capacity (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Plant breeding 112 (1994), S. 0

    Notes: In this investigation, genotypes with branched, tetrastichon (two spikelets per node of the rachis), and normal spikes were used in order to induce changes in sink capacity, while high-yielding domestic and foreign varieties served as donors of other traits. These materials were crossed by the methods of single-, back-, and top crossing and the desirable genotypes were selected by the pedigree method. After 10 years of breeding for the desired ideotype, whose main features had been a highly fertile spike of normal structure, short straw, curved leaves, and reduced tillering, 229 lines were tested in comparative yield trials. Among them, four lines were superior in yield and other traits to the highest yielding standards. Regarding the expected changes in sink capacity, considerable progress was made in spike length, number of grains per spike, number of grains per spikelet, and the weight of grains per spike.

    Harvest Index and Spike Index in Crosses between Wheat Genotypes with Different Spike Architecture (1992)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Plant breeding 109 (1992), S. 0 
    Details

    Notes: Crosses between vulgare wheat genotypes with different spike architecture were examined for total biomass per plant, grain mass per plant, and harvest index. The genotypes with branched spikes (turgidum type) and tetrastichon spikes were equal or superior to those with normal spikes in total biomass per plant but inferior in grain mass per plant. Consequently, they had significantly lower harvest indices. In the F1 and F2 generation, high heterosis for total biomass per plant occurred in all crosses between the genotypes with branched and normal spikes. There was heterosis for grain mass per spike in most crosses, but it was not as high as for total biomass.This investigation confirmed earlier findings that genetic changes towards the branched or the tetrastichon spike do not increase the potential for grain yield. Since, however, the crosses between the genotypes with branched and normal spikes showed high heterosis for grain mass per plant, lines with highly fertile but normal spikes may be expected in the segregating generations as a result of a genetic change in sink capacity. The genotypes with branched and tetrastichon spikes produced higher biomass per spike but lower spike index than the genotypes with normal spike. This may be an indication that the increase in vegetative area of the spike does not necessarily have a positive effect on grain mass per spike.

    Notes: Abstract In a 2-years experiment, 30 wheat cultivars and 21 landraces from different countries were tested under near optimum and drought stress conditions. Plant height, number of sterile spikelets per spike, spikelets per spike, number of kernels per spike, kernel weight per spike, 1000 kernel weight and grain yield were evaluated. The number of kernels per spike, 1000 kernel weight and especially yield were more sensitive to drought stress in the cultivars than plant height and number of spikelets per spike, while in the landraces these traits did not differ under drought stress compared to near optimum conditions. The average yield of cultivars was significantly better than the average yield of landraces under near optimum as well as drought stress conditions. Path coefficient analysis showed that for cultivars under near optimum conditions there was no significant direct association of any of the analysed characters with yield, while under drought stress conditions, number of kernels per spike had a significant positive direct effect. Under drought stress conditions, the number of sterile spikelets displayed a negative direct effect, while kernel weight per spike had a positive direct effect on yield. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used as a tool to classify cultivars and landraces according to their yield ability under near optimum and drought stress conditions. Among the cultivars, two groups out of five and among one of three in the landraces were characterised by high yields in both near optimum as well as under drought stress conditions. These genotypes may serve as sources of germplasm for breeding for drought tolerance.
