Title	Studies of genetic control of growth habit in Triticeae species: methods and problems
Journal	Cereal Research Communications
Year	2004
Volume	32
Pages	317-321
Author	Dudnikov AJ
Abstract	The data obtained by different researchers on growth habit in Triticeae species often appear contradictory. The reason for such discrepancies could be the differences in the methods of dividing F SUB 2 segregating populations into spring and winter forms. It is common for researchers to consider F SUB 2 plants that fail to form ears by some arbitrary date (or the time of heading of tester plants used as a control) - as 'winter'. Analysis of the distribution of heading dates is ignored in such cases. This approach actually treats a quantitative trait as an alternative one, violating the principles of genetics. As a result, the conclusions made, even in simple cases (when diploid species are studied), may be misleading
