Dependence of the yield in late-generation lines on the spike productivity in original segregating populations of spring bread wheat by S. B. Lepekhov

“…Average values of grain weight per main spike in the parent genotypes and the best parent as well as the differences between the parents in the average grain weight per main spike tended to have a negative correlation with the yield of late-generation lines (r up to –0.58). Conclusion. The culling of segregating populations based solely on the yield or grain weight per spike is associated with a risk of losing high-yielding genotypes. …”
