| Abstract: |
On day 21, total germination percentages of threshed seeds of Ae. tauschii ranged from 0.0 to 92.6, indicating a large variation in preharvest sprouting tolerance. Out of 46 Ae. tauschii accessions, seven had a germination index lower than ten, which indicates good tolerance to preharvest sprouting and usefulness for common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) improvement. The variety tauschii showed a germination percentage and a germination index much higher than that of var. strangulata. Furthermore, the tough and tenacious glumes of Ae. tauschii also had an effect on tolerance to preharvest sprouting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
