INHERITANCE OF SEED WEIGHT AND ASSOCIATED TRAITS IN BROMEGRASS, BROMUS INERMIS LEYSS.

Abstract: Among 71 S0 and S2 clones of diverse origin in a space-planted, replicated polycross nursery the range in mean seed weight was 0.71 to 1.30 grams per 300 seeds. A correlation of 0.25 was noted between seed weight and open-pollinated seed set for these clones. Their polycross progenies exhibited a range of only 0.74 to 0.94 grams per 300 seeds in a solid-planted test. The progeny-parent regression value was non-significant (b = 0.09) while the correlation (r = 0.56) was significant at the 1 per cent level.Inbre… Show more

“…Its effect has generally been found to be confined to the early stages of growth but it can persist for up to 3 months after sowing as in Bromus inermis (TRUPP ,~ CARLSON, 1971) and subterranean clover (BLACK, 1956(BLACK, , 1957. Relatively high heritability values for seed weight have been estimated by CHRISTIE ,~¢ KALTON (1960a) in Bromus inermis and significant improvement in seedling vigour was obtained through recurrent selection for seed weight by CHRISTIE & KAL-TON (1960b) and by TRUPP & CARLSON (1971).…”

“…Climate conditions of Central Anatolia are favourable for the production of good quality bromegrass seed, but the 1 OOO-seed weights of all entries were somewhat lower than those reported by CHRISTIE & KALTON (1960a, 1960b and TRUPP & CARLSON (197 1). Although little or no differences of seed weight between spaced plants and rows were observed by TRUPP & CARLSON (1971) spaced plants generally have more tillers than plants in rows.…”
