Excerpt from Experiments in Wheat Breeding: Experimental Error in the Nursery and Variation in Nitrogen and Yield One of the striking features of the data obtained by Dr. Lyon was the variation in nitrogen content of the kernels from different plants of wheat grown under apparently similar conditions. For example, 800 spikes of Turkey wheat were selected and half of each spike analyzed for proteid nitrogen, the lowest having only per cent while the highest contained per cent. In 1903, 288 plants which were the progeny ...

Excerpt from Experiments in Wheat Breeding: Experimental Error in the Nursery and Variation in Nitrogen and Yield One of the striking features of the data obtained by Dr. Lyon was the variation in nitrogen content of the kernels from different plants of wheat grown under apparently similar conditions. For example, 800 spikes of Turkey wheat were selected and half of each spike analyzed for proteid nitrogen, the lowest having only per cent while the highest contained per cent. In 1903, 288 plants which were the progeny from 119 of the spikes analyzing above 3 per cent proteid nitrogen in 1902 were analyzed and found to vary from per cent to per cent in nitrogen content. In most of the families only a single plant was selected for analysis, but in the remainder two to six plants were selected. Even where all the plants were grown from a single parent the varia tion was quite as great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
