Intact wheat plants and wheat calli responded similarly to varying concentrations of imazapyr. Fifty percent growth inhibition of wheat callus occurred with 0.05 μM imazapyr after 70 d. As imazapyr concentration increased from 0 to 10 μM, the free isoleucine, leucine, and valine decreased from 160 to 35, 260 to 49, and 310 to 59 pmol mg−1, respectively. Resistant calli, which had relative growth rates exceeding a calculated upper prediction interval, were obtained by in vitro selection at 2 and 5 μM imazapyr. Resistant calli growing on 2 μM imazapyr had free isoleucine, leucine, and valine concentrations intermediate to the control and susceptible callus.

In a highly variable breeding population of P. tuberosa, marked responses were obtained to three generations of selection for high and low crude protein concentration (percentage nitrogen x 6.25) in whole tillers at heading. Total response was similar in each direction, and realized heritability estimates were h2 = 0.25 and h2 = 0.20 in the high and low directions respectively. The responses were accompanied by positively correlated changes in in vitro digestibility and in characters commonly used as indicators of nutritive value of herbage. However, there were large negatively correlated changes in seedling vigour, relative growth rates, and other morphological and physiological characters. The implications of the results for pasture plant breeding are discussed.
