Drought Resistance and Wheat Breeding
Agricultural Water Management, 1983ABSTRACT Schmidt, J.W., 1983. Drought resistance and wheat breeding. Agric. Water Manage. , 7: 181–194. The breeding of wheat ( Triticum species) for drought resistance has been indirect for the most part. The most direct approach has been identifying an appropriate crop maturity that maximizes growth and the accompanying yield component ...

Wheat (various species of the genus Triticum) is a grass originating from the Levant area of the Middle East. However, only hexaploid common wheat (Triticum eastivum), and tetraploid durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) are presently cultivated worldwide. Not only is wheat an important crop today, it may well have influenced human history.

Publisher Summary Industrialization and centralization of the milling industry have resulted in the milling of wheat, originating over a wide geographic area and creating need for flour markets national and international scope. To maintain a consumer-acceptable level of flour standardization, it has become necessary to evaluate not only the flour ...

Wheat breeding in the Netherlands
Euphytica, 1957In 1886L. Broekema (Wageningen) laid the foundation for wheat breeding in the Netherlands. He succeeded in breeding Wilhelmina wheat (1901) and later Juliana, among other varieties. About the same timeJ. H. Mansholt (Westpolder) andDr. O. Pitsch (Wageningen) started their wheat breeding programmes. It should be stated that these pioneers practised line

Despite promising superior performance, hybrid wheat currently occupies only a niche sector in commercial wheat production. However, with the recent development of practicable hybrid seed production systems, a switch from line to hybrid breeding in wheat seems realistic.

Little attempt was made to improve the varieties of cereal crops until the early years of the 19th century. The crops grown at this time consisted of a wide range of ‘land races’, each of which had evolved in the area where it was grown, mainly through natural selection, assisted from time to time by selection by farmers of the better ears from their ...

A Rapid Breeding Technology of Wheat
2020Wheat is the most important food crop in the world. In Bangladesh, wheat consumption increased substantially during the last few decades. Currently, 7.3 million tons of wheat is consumed each year, of which 1.3 million tons are grown locally and the rest is imported.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) is the world’s most important crop. Its importance is derived from the properties of its gluten, a cohesive network of tough endosperm proteins that stretch with the expansion of fermenting dough, yet hold together to produce a “risen” loaf of bread.
