Glabrous- and pubescent-glumed populations of spring wheat, Triticum aestivum L., were derived by bulking seed from F2 plants and F3 lines. These near-isogenic populations were evaluated at two locations for grain yield and other plant variables and for grain quality. Agronomic data indicated that the gene governing glume pubescence had little, if any, influence on plant productivity. The small quality differences between pubescent and glabrous types, even though significant in a few cases, are considered too small to have a major beneficial effect on a population.

White- and brown-glumed populations of spring wheat, Triticum aestivum L., derived by compositing seed from F2 plants and F3 lines, were evaluated at two locations for grain quality, grain yield, and other plant variables. The similarity of data from the two populations suggests that the gene, or genes, governing brown glume has little, if any, influence on most of the agronomic and quality characteristics of spring wheat, although small differences were observed in plant height at Bozeman, in spikelets per head at Huntley, and in farinograph stability at Bozeman.
