Abstract

This is the third report of results from a high protein-high lysine (HP-HL) wheat observation nursery organized in 1974 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Science and Education Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. Advanced experimental lines distributed to breeders and cooperators in the 3rd HP-HL nursery were selected from numerous hybrid combinations of both spring and winter types. All exhibited elevated protein and/or lysine in nursery trials in Nebraska or Arizona.
