Effect of RID substitutions and/or modified rye chromosomes on kernel characters in triticales

Published on Jul 28, 2018 11:21 AM

The effect of rye chromosome substitution and modification
were studied on various kernel characters in sixty six
hexaploid triticales. Triticales with a 2R12D substitution
and/or a modified rye chromosome(s} exhibited 'medium'
to 'very low' degree of kernel shrivelling as observed
through increased grain weight and volume of water
displaced by 100-grains. Triticales with a 2R12D substitution
coupled with a modified rye chromosomes like 4R, 6R or
7R, the seed shrivelling is very low. 2R/2D substitution
and modification in the rye chromosomes also had a
favourable effect on seed setting. Triticales with full
complement of rye chromosomes showed 'medium' to
'high' kernel shrivelling and low seed set.
