Primary identification and evaluation of wheat germplasm from Generation Challenge Programme

An identification and evaluation for 1 000 seed weight,grain number per ear,ear number per plant,plant height,plumpness of kernels and yield of 146 wheat germplasms from GCP projects were conducted.The results showed that: the tested varieties had a wealth of genetic diversity in yield,grain number per ears,ear number per plant and so on;there were different correlations in each trait;heading and maturity stages had effects to grain number per ear,yield and 1 000 seed weight.We had successfully selected 8 big ear fertility varieties,8 big grain fertility varieties,5 short stalk fertilities and 25 fine varieties of super traits and outstanding fertility.
