Coleoptile length studies in semi-dwarf wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with different dwarfing genes

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Eleven genotypes (seven varieties and four lines) were studied for coleoptile length.The genotypes having Rht 1 , Rht 2 , Rht 1 Rht 2 , Rht8Rht9 and rht were compared for their coleoptile length under controlled environmental conditions.The results suggested that the traditional tall variety C-591 (rht) had longer coleoptiles compared to the remaining varieties and genotypes.The genotypes which had the next longest coleoptile length were Chinese Spring (rht) and Rht8-01 (Rht8).The varieties Mara (Rht8Rht9), Sarsabz (Rht 1 ) and Soghat-90 (Rht 2 ) were not significantly different for their coleoptile length.The line Rht8-02, which carries Rht8 dwarfing genes, was not significantly different to the Yecora (Rht 1 Rht 2 ), a double dwarf variety.These results suggest that the dwarfing genes probably do not affect the coleoptile length.The genetic background may affect the coleoptile length of individual varieties.
