The effect of sort differences in postharvest ripening at four different wheat cultivars (KG 56, Florida 302, A-21 and Triticale) have been examined. Among factors which have effects on postharvest ripening, length of storage and temperature of storage have been investigated. Considerable differences exist between different wheat cultivars related in the rate of ripening and level dormancy. Among four examined wheat cultivars, Florida 302 has been the most dormant (its seeds germinate in great percentage after period ripening from 90 days), while KG 56 cultivar has been the least dormant (seeds germinate in great percentage in harvest period, without ripening). Seeds of Triticale (hybrid wheat and rye) sort were non dormant.
