Abstract excerpt
Breeding for preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance is of great interest in wheat-growing areas where high rainfall occurs during grain ripening and harvest. We have characterized 32 wheat accessions using 33 microsatellite markers flanking PHS quantitative trait loci (QTLs) previously identified on group 3, 4, 5, and 6 chromosomes of hexaploid wheat. A total of 229 alleles, with an average of 6.94 alleles per...
