New Bread Wheat Varieties Promise Higher Yields and Better Quality
The study looked at 50 different types of bread wheat to see how they vary genetically. They found that there is a significant difference between the wheat types for all the traits they looked at. The wheat types showed enough genetic variability for all the traits, meaning they are different from each other in important ways. The traits like grain yield, grain weight, and number of grains per spike had high genetic variability. This means that these traits are influenced more by the wheat's genes than by the environment.
