Abstract

The response to high concentrations of B in soil was compared for Triticum aestivum L. (vars. Chinese Spring and Halberd) and the amphiploid of Chinese Spring × Agropyron elongatum (Host). The tolerance of the three genotypes, with respect to yield at the high B treatments, was amphipolid>Halberd>Chinese Spring. The concentration of B in whole shoots was similar for the amphiploid and Halberd and significantly higher for Chinese Spring. The mechanism for tolerance to B appears to be the same for the amphiploid and wheat and is related to reduced accumulation of B in shoots.
