Understanding the genetic and physiological control of pre-harvest sprouting and pre-maturity amylase in UK wheat

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and Pre-maturity amylase (PMA) are physiological defects in wheat grains that reduce their end-use quality. PHS is the precocious germination of grains before harvest while PMA is the accumulation of α-amylase in grains. Both traits are quantitative in their expression an...
