Abstract

A joint germplasm collection mission to salt and heat affected areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan was undertaken to collect different species of Triticum during March-April 1998. In all, 52 samples consisting of Triticum aestivum (30), T. dicoccum (7), T. durum (12), T. sphaerococcum (1) and unidentified species of triticum (2) were assembled from Ahmedabad, Amreli, Banaskantha, Bhavnagar, junagarh, Kachchh, Porbandar, Rajkot (Gujarat), Barmer, Jalor, Jodhpur, Pali and Sirohi (Rajasthan) districts. A wide range of variability was recorded.
