Grain development in wheat (Triticum aestivum) ears cultured in media with different concentrations of phosphorus and sucrose

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 41))

Abstract

Ears were detached from wheat plants below the peduncular node and grains allowed to develop in a liquid culture system. Grains accumulated more dry matter when cultured in media which contained phosphorus if the sucrose concentration was between 10 and 40 gL−1. Sucrose at 80 gL−1 caused early senescence of the ears, less response to phosphorus and smaller grains.
