Abstract
Deterioration of the grain in the ear prior to harvest, associated with premature germination and loss of dormancy, is now the main constraint in northern Europe to a consistently high quality wheat crop. Many of the characters associated with this syndrome, e.g.. pre-maturity and post maturity alpha- amylase production, grain colour, early dormancy loss, etc., are known to be under genetic control. Molecular tags associated with the controlling genes will be an important tool for European plant breeders.
