商品性杂交高粱种子生产中细胞质雄不育的成功应用,刺激了杂交小麦的发展.参与高粱育种和发展杂交种子生产的那些人,在杂交小麦育种的开始阶段是最积极的.在美国几家私立种子公司与几个国立小麦育种机构最先考虑到杂交小麦的可能性.虽然早在1975年以前,日本科学家在含有山羊草属(Aegilops)细胞质置换物的小麦回交衍生株中发现了细胞质雄不育,但还是美国人首先在1957年做了杂交小麦的育种计划. The successful application of cytoplasmic male sterility in commercial hybrid sorghum seed production stimulated the development of hybrid wheat.The most active participants in the initial stages of hybrid wheat breeding are those involved in the sorghum breeding and the development of hybrid seed production Private seed companies and several national wheat breeders are the first to consider the possibility of hybrid wheat, although as early as 1975, Japanese scientists found cytoplasm in wheat backcrossed derivatives containing Aegilops cytoplasmic replacement Male infertility, but it is still the first Americans in 1957 to do hybrid wheat breeding programs.
