Abstract
Different methodologies have been applied for the selection of preharvest sprouting resistance in cereal breeding programs. We describe here a series of methods used in practical wheat breeding programs in Japan, including phenotyping based on germination score after artificial rain treatments and genotyping using DNA markers. These methods can be modified and applied to breeding programs in which preharvest sprouting is a problem during cereal cultivation.
