Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Three amphidiploid lines exceeded their bread wheat parent in biomass per plant under high nitrogen.
- Observation Amphidiploids showed positive transgressive segregation for flag-leaf photosynthesis before and after anthesis under high and low nitrogen.
- Observation One amphidiploid line showed positive transgressive segregation for nitrogen uptake per plant at maturity under low nitrogen.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that introgression from wild relatives offers scope to raise biomass and nitrogen-use efficiency under optimal and low nitrogen availability.
