| Next year separate populations comprised of only semi-dwarf and mixture
of semidwarf and tall plants will be raised in isolation and lines with
different height levels and grain colour will be extracted. The short statured
rye Behrain, may serve as a new source of height reduction in triticale
and rye breeding programmes. The seed is available for distribution to the interested breeders on request. Literalure Cited GUSTAFSON, J.P., C.O. QUALSET and J.A. RUPERT 1973.
