Abstract

A selected set of wheat accessions received at the National Genebank, were analyzed for the extent of variation in seed Polyphenol oxidase activity. Analysis of seed vigour data confirmed the non-destructiveness of the protocol. The method is proposed to be used for germplasm screening prior to sowing.
