| Necrosis genes in KUSE wheat1) K. TSUNEWAKI and Y. NAKAI Laboratory of Genetics, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan Leading the Kyoto University Scientific Expedition (KUSE) to the Karakoram and Hindukush, Dr. H. KIHARA and one of the members, Dr. K. YAMASHITA, collected 284 strains of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. THELL.) in 1955 in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Details of their morphological and physiological characteristics were given by KIHARA, YAMASHITA and TANAKA (1965). Of those, 218 were crossed to three testers of necrosis and chlorosis genes, i. e., Jones Fife, Prelude and Macha, and their genotypes were determined. The results are given in the following table: |
