Abstract
Protease levels in the juvenile wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plant were greater for a “high” grain protein variety (NB #65317, a selection from a cross between ‘Atlas 66’ and ‘Comanche’) than for a “low” protein variety (‘Triumph 64’, C. I. 12132) during early seedling growth. Also, higher amounts of AA, tryptophan, and IAA were found in NB #65317. The data suggest that “high” grain protein varieties will exhibit higher protease, AA, tryptophan, and IAA concentrations in the vegetative parts of the plant than will a “low” protein variety.Keywords
