Intergeneric hybrids between Triticum aestivum L. and wild Triticeae

Cytological characteristics of F2 hybrids between Triticum aestivum L. and T. durum Desf. with reference to wheat breeding.

Cytological and agronomic characteristics of a F2 population from Triticum aestivum L. x T. durum Desf. hybrids were analyzed plant by plant. Means of morphologic traits in the F2 population were similar to those of the low-value parent. On average, F2 hybrids had 36.54 chromosomes per plant, indicating that each gamete lost 2.73 chromosomes at meiosis of the F1 generation. More than half of pl...

The wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaf proteome.

The wheat leaf proteome was mapped and partially characterized to function as a comparative template for future wheat research. In total, 404 proteins were visualized, and 277 of these were selected for analysis based on reproducibility and relative quantity. Using a combination of protein and expressed sequence tag database searching, 142 proteins were putatively identified with an identificat...

Production of embryo - callus - regenerated hybrids between Triticum aestivum and Agropyron cristatum possessing one B chromosome

mdash; Plant regeneration from immature intergeneric embryos through direct callus induction was investigated in the case of hybridization between T aestivum cv Chinese Spring (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) and A cristatum 4x with one B chromosome (2n = 4x = 28 + 1 B, PPPP). Twenty-three abnormal immature hybrid embryos were directly cultured on MS solid medium with 2 mg / L 2,4-D to induce calli which...

Competition between Wild Mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) and Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Different rate of Nitrogen

To study the effects of applied nitrogen levels and wild mustard densities on the growth of wheat and wild mustard, a field experiment was conducted at Re-search and Experimental Field of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz-Iran. The effects of three nitrogen levels namely 90, 150 and 210 kg.ha-1 and four wild mustard densities such as 0, 5, 10 and 15 plants.m-2 were evaluated in split plot arrang...
