Extract

Biomass accumulation in cereals is an important determinant of grain yield (Green, 1984). However, when attempting to maximize dry-matter production a taller crop more prone to lodging may result (Boothroyd & Clare, 1984). While many contemporary triticale cultivars contain a dwarfing gene, most are very tall relative to wheat and barley (McDonald, 1984) and lodging is a particularly important factor in growing triticale crops.
