Abstract:Improvement of preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance is an important objective in the breeding of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn.) in Japan, where the harvest timing overlaps with the rainy season. In a previous study, we showed that an R-gene associated with red seed color was the most effective at promoting PHS resistance in durum wheat. However, red-seeded durum wheat is not popular because it discolors pasta. Here, to improve PHS resistance without the R-gene, we introduced a PHS re… Show more
