Abstract
. Wheat is considered a basic cereal for civilization with great economic importance for world agriculture. Currently, wheat is planted in the south, southeast and midwest regions of Brazil. Brazilian consumption of wheat will grow in the coming years due to population increase, which will require developing new cultivars for non-tradtional regions. We investigated commercial wheat genotypes grown at various sowing dates in a region with high temperature conditions. The experiment was conducted during the two summer and two autumn seasons. Sowings were March 10, March 20, April 1 and April 10. The agronomic traits (grain yield, plant height, spike size, total spikelets per spike and fertile spikelets per spike) for four commercial genotypes were evaluated. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a factorial scheme, corresponding to four genotypes, four sowing seasons and two years of cultivation. The second sowing year gave the best performance for the genotypes. Genotypes BR 18 and BRS 404 gave superior agronomic performance, standing out in the third and fourth sowing dates, under these culture conditions.
期刊介绍:
Genetics and Molecular Research (GMR), maintained by the Research Foundation of Ribeirão Preto (Fundação de Pesquisas Científicas de Ribeirão Preto), publishes high quality research in genetics and molecular biology. GMR reflects the full breadth and interdisciplinary nature of this research by publishing outstanding original contributions in all areas of biology.
GMR publishes human studies, as well as research on model organisms—from mice and flies, to plants and bacteria. Our emphasis is on studies of broad interest that provide significant insight into a biological process or processes. Topics include, but are not limited to gene discovery and function, population genetics, evolution, genome projects, comparative and functional genomics, molecular analysis of simple and complex genetic traits, cancer genetics, medical genetics, disease biology, agricultural genomics, developmental genetics, regulatory variation in gene expression, pharmacological genomics, evolution, gene expression, chromosome biology, and epigenetics.
