Wheat seed production

A method of wheat seed production comprising:

• a. growing a plurality of designated female parent wheat plants, wherein said designated female parent plants receive pollen during a pollination window, wherein said pollination window includes a period wherein pollen is not shed from an undesirable pollen source and a period wherein pollen is shed from said undesirable pollen source;
• b. intentionally pollinating said plurality of designated female parent wheat plants, on one or more occasions, with designated male wheat plant pollen when said undesirable pollen source is not releasing viable pollen;
• c. growing the designated female parent plant to maturity;
• and
• d. harvesting the seed produced by said designated female parent plant;
• wherein the designated female parent plant is genetically different from the designated male pollen parent plant;
• and wherein the female components are not covered to prevent undesirable pollination.

A method of wheat seed production, said method comprising the intentional application of designated male wheat pollen to a designated female parent plant when the female components of said designated female plant are ready to receive pollen but the male components of said designated female plant are not releasing pollen;

• wherein the designated male wheat pollen is from a wheat plant that is genetically different from the designated female parent plant;
• and wherein the method includes the reduction or elimination of the need of one or both of the following conditions:
• a. physical and/or temporal isolation of said designated female plant from undesirable pollen of the same species;
• and
• b. male pollinator plants to be grown in proximity of said designated female plant.
