Popis: Mainstem leaf stage and percent tiller formation are measurements utilized to evaluate the development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study was conducted to determine whether there are differences for these measurements among 11 winter wheat cultivars. Ten hard red winter wheat and one soft white winter wheat cultivars were grown in a controlled environment chamber to determine their rate of mainstem leaf stage and tiller formation percentage for coleoptile (T0), first (T1), second (T2), and third tillers (T3) when plants are grown in the absence of stress. Growth conditions were 12-h photophase at 24 o C and 12-h dark at 15 o C (...)
