Inheritance of Plant Height, Yield of Grain, and Other Plant and Seed Characteristics in A Cross of Hard Red Winter Wheat, Triticum aestivum L.1

Abstract: The inheritance mechanisms of seven plant and seed characters were studied in the F1, backcrosses and segregating generations from the cross of two winter wheat varieties differing in plant height and other characteristics.Evidence for the control of plant height by three major gene pairs was obtained. Additive gene action accounted for most of the plant height variance. Maturity was controlled by a single dominant gene pair for earliness. A bimodal F2 frequency distribution for kernel weight indicated operati… Show more

“…Lebsock and Amaya (1969) found average heritabilities of 0.67 for test weight and 0.72 for kernel weight in four durum crosses grown at two locations for 2 yr. Similar heritabilities have been reported for kernel weight in common wheat (T. aestivum L.): 0.73 by Sharma and Knott (1964), 0.61 by Johnson et al (1966), and 0.79 by Mou and Kronstad (1994). Test weight and kernel weight appear to be quantitatively inherited.…”

“…High restrict sense heritability values for plant height were found by several authors (Johnson et al, 1966;Camargo et al, 1980Camargo et al, , 2000a, thus, indicating that this trait is controlled by a few genes (Camargo & Oliveira, 1981b), with environment not playing an important role upon their expression. Consequently, successful selection in segregating populations can be performed in the F 2 generation.…”

“…Estudos sobre as correlações entre caracteres mensuráveis em uma população permitem inferências sobre sua interdependência, isto é, se tendem ou não a permanecer associados nas progênies durante os sucessivos ciclos de seleção (JOHNSON et al, 1966;FONSECA e PATTERSON, 1968). Esse conhecimento é primordial quando o objetivo é a seleção simultânea (mais de um caráter), ou quando o caráter de interesse expressa baixa herdabilidade ou é de difícil mensuração (SANTOS e VENCOVSKY, 1986).…”
