An Inheritance Study Of Sedimentation Values In Three Winter Wheat Crosses, Douglas J. Baker
An Inheritance Study Of Sedimentation Values In Three Winter Wheat Crosses, Douglas J. Baker
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Three crosses were used to study the inheritance of the sedimentation properties in hard red winter wheat. The parents of the three crosses were the variety Delmar, and the breeding lines 217-61-7-14 and 217-19-5. Delmar has high sedimentation properties, 217-61-7-14 is intermediate, and 217-19-5 has very poor sedimentation qualities.
Sedimentation tests were run on five replications of the parents and 300 samples of the F3 populations in each cross. A semi-micro sedimentation test (a one-fourth scale test) was run on 200 F2 plants and the F1's from each cross. The distributions from each cross were analyzed …
