Summary

  1. 1.

    Data are presented on the genic relations of glume pubescence, grain colour, glume colour and awn colours in crosses between two pure line selections ofBansi wheat (T. durum, Desf.) and a synthetic black awned pubescent glumed Khapli.

  2. 2.

    The hairiness of glumes is due to a gene P in Kala-Khapli 568 and is dominant to the glabrous (p) condition in theBansi wheat. The gene P is completely linked with the black awn colour gene, B.

  3. 3.

    The red colour of grain in Khapli 568 is dominant to the yellow grain ofBansi. The gene R1 is independent of genes for other characters.

  4. 4.

    The red glume colour of theBansi wheat is caused by a gene Rg-a which also produces red awn colour, but behaves hypostatic to the black awn colour gene, B, in the awn region. The recessive alleles of B and Rg-a result in white-glumed white-awned plants.

  5. 5.

    The probable origin of Kala-Khapli 568 is indicated.
