Selection For Seed Size And Coleoptile Length In Timothy (Phleum Pratense L.), Hans Arne Jonsson Feb 2024

Selection For Seed Size And Coleoptile Length In Timothy (Phleum Pratense L.), Hans Arne Jonsson

IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)

The intention of this study was to show the effect of selection for seed weight and coleoptile length on morphology and agronomically important characters in timothy (Phleum pratense L.). Two cycles of selection increased the seed weight as well as the length of coleoptile and root. The emergence from deep sowing in sand and in the field were insignificantly increased, whereas the percentage stand and the dry matter yield were decreased, albeit insignificantly. Inbreeding and linkage effects were considered possible causes for this.

IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)

We evaluated the effects of soil acidity on seedling emergence and seedling persistence of several ecotypes of Austrodanthonia spp. collected from the Central, Southern and Monaro Tablelands of New South Wales (NSW) in southern temperate Australia. A pot experiment was conducted outdoors to identify the most promising material tolerant to soil acidity for domestication. In the experiment, 183 ecotypes and two commercial cultivars of Austrodanthonia were grown in pots at three levels of pHCa (3.9, 4.4 and 5.3). The pH treatments were achieved by adding either aluminium sulphate or lime to an acid earthy sandy loam soil collected from …
