Abstract:
Responses to vernalization,photoperiod and earliness per se are three important factors affecting heading time in wheat. Their actions and interactions may adjust the phasic development of wheat to avoid environmental stress. The genetic control of heading time in wheat is very complex, and this paper summarizes its research progress in details.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
