Abstract
Freshly harvested, immature kernels of Columbus red spring wheat were germinated in several days after a combined treatment involving removal of the pericarp over the embryo and the addition of gibberellic acid. The technique, which is simple, fairly rapid and requires a minimum of aseptic procedure, also avoids problems associated with Columbus-type, postharvest dormancy. Planting into sterilized soil improved the survival rate.Key words: Wheat (spring), germination, rapid generation advancement, dormancy, immature grainThis publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
