Advantages of seed selection in wheat aneuploid studies

Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Aneuploid studies in wheat often involve progenies which segregate for monosomics and disomics. In situations where only monosomics are needed, data are presented to show that their frequency can be increased by selecting wrinkled seeds for planting. Conversely, a higher proportion of disomics results from using the plumpest seeds from a cross- or self-pollination involving a monosomic parent.
