Abstract excerpt
An account is given of the genetic variability in primitive wheats collected from the northwest Pakistan. Apart from genetic sources for disease resistance, drought tolerance, and other plant characters, new sources of possible height reduction in wheat were identified and described. The taller-growing primitive wheats have better emergence, perhaps largely because of their longer coleoptiles. A detailed account...
