Genetic purity assessment of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype through chemical test

Abstract

The wheat varieties viz., AKW-381, AKW-1071, AKAW-3722, AKAW-2997.16, AKAW-4627, PDKV WASHIM, AKAW-4210-6 were grouped on the basis of chemical test Peroxidase test, NaOH (0.5%), KOH (0.5%), GA3 (100 ppm) and 2-4 D (5 ppm). The study revealed that these tests could be effectively used for varietal characterization and determining the varietal purity of wheat in testing laboratories as the cultivars showed distinct response to these chemical test.
