Effects of chromosomal aberrations induced by a insecticide on some morphological traits in Wheat
1986
Hossain, S. | Alam, S.
In an attempt to determine whether any cytological or genetical effects of the treatments being transmitted to the subsequent generations, plants were grown from seeds of the treated materials in the following year. Selfed progeny of the hexaploid wheat nether showed any increase in the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities nor any significant effect was detected on the morphological characters when the progeny performances of the treated and the untreated families were compared. In tetraploid wheat, however, a significant reduction in plant height at heading and number of fertile tillers per plant was detected but for number of spikelets per ear and number of grains per ear no difference between the progeny of the treated and the untreated familes was found.
