Abstract
This invention relates to a triticale plant, seed, cultivar, and hybrid. More specifically, the invention relates to a triticale plant having mutant awn-inhibitor genes that result in an absence or reduction in length of awns. The invention also relates to crossing cultivars, inbreds, and hybrids containing the awn-inhibitor genes to produce novel types, cultivars, and hybrids of completely awnless and short-awn triticale for agronomic purposes.
Claims36
A triticale seed comprising a dominant awn-inhibiting allele for reduced awn length, wherein said allele is present in the triticale line deposited under ATCC accession number 97741.
A triticale variety comprising a dominant awn-inhibiting allele for reduced awn length, wherein said allele is present in the triticale line deposited under ATCC accession number 97741.
Viable triticale seeds and plants and succeeding generations thereof grown from seeds deposited under ATCC Accession No. 97741 on Sep. 26, 1996 and triticale seeds and plants to which the awn-inhibiting alleles are transferred from said deposited seeds in succeeding generations thereof.
