A comparison of the development of multiflorous and standard wheats

This study was conducted to compare patterns of phenological development and agronomic traits of multiflorous and standard wheats (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) when grown in environment-controlled growth rooms (20/15 o C, 16/8 h, day/night, 600 μmol m -2 s -1 ). Six winter and six spring habit genotypes were studied in separate experiments. The winter multiflorous genotypes were earlier than the winter standard genotypes
