Abstract
Twenty-six hexaploid triticale (xTriticosecale) x bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) derivatives, along with 2 bread wheat and 2 triticale controls, were grown in normal and P-stress environments. Spikes per plant and grain yield per plant, followed by peduncle length, were the most sensitive to P deficiency, which also caused a delay in heading and maturity. The heritability and genetic advance for grain yield per plant were high in the stress environment, reflecting the effectiveness of direct selection. The 1000-grain weight, grains per spike and plant height were the important traits for phenotypic selections in both the environments
