Genetic variation for flowering time and height reducing genes and important traits in western Canadian spring wheat
2016-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation is prerequisite for wheat improvement. High grain yield and protein content and early maturity are some of the major objectives in global as well as Canadian wheat breeding programs. We investigated genetic diversity for earliness related and plant height reducing (Rht) genes in 82 spring wheat cultivars, registered in western Canada, through eight diagnostic DNA markers. Allelic variation was ob...
