Increasing grain protein content is an important wheat breeding goal . Noaman & Taylor (1988b) showed the combination of protein content in the head, peduncle, and flag leaf of winter wheat at heading provided a good estimate for grain protein . The objectives of this research were to apply these re
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars grown in the southern Great Plains of the U .S .A. are exposed to a wide range of moisture conditions due to large fluctuations in the amount and frequency of rainfall . Yield stability under those conditions is therefore a desirable trait for wheat breeders .
An experiment was conducted in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to : (1) ascertain the efficiency of gridded mass selection ; (2) to determine if additional selection efficiency can be achieved through refinement of the gridded mass selection procedure ; and (3) to determine if the degree of homozygosity
