Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cultivated emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum), a hulled tetraploid species (2n = 4x = 28, AABB) is a minor crop grown in India for its low glycaemic index and high protein (16%) content. However, its genetic variability is limited. This study aims to enhance the variability of cultivated emmer wheat using mutation approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A tall better yielding, leaf and stem rust resistant...
