The experiment was conducted at experimental area of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The experiment on screening of Iranian wheat landraces for micronutrient deficiency was carried out. Method was performed for devising an efficient system for screening of Iranian wheat landraces for tolerance to micronutrient deficiency. A set of 202 Iranian wheat landraces along with checks (PBW 621, HD 2967, HD 3086, WH 1105, PDW 291 and TL 2908) were used. The experiment was carried out in glasses using sand culture. Seeds were cut from middle and embryo part was used for germination studies. Murashige and Skoog (MS) macro-salts nutrient solution was used to create micronutrient deficiency for 40 days. The observations on root and shoot length, fresh and dry we... view more»
