Abstract
At Resource Seeds, Inc. the triticale breeding program’s basic objective is improving the forage and grain yield in both the winter and spring varieties. New crosses are made and genetic stocks are built up at two primary research sites in California. The initial screening for winter types is done mainly in Texas, Washington, Ohio, and North Carolina. The spring varieties are evaluated mainly in California, Washington and the northeast. Fifteen varieties have been placed into productions from 1996 to 2003. It is estimated that only 400.000 ha of triticale are grown in the USA. Along in varieties, the continuing plant breeding program is aimed at developing commercially acceptable hybrid triticale. Since 1983, five cytoplasms have been transferred to triticale. The best male sterile system is in two cytoplasms; T. timopheevi and Ae. sharonensis. Since 1988, three restorers were identified for the Ae. sharonensis cytoplasm, and one for the Ae. juvenalis cytoplasm.
