| Seeds of diploid wheats and primitive tetraploid wheats were obtained from Dr CI Kling. |
| Seeds are scraped off into sterilized flasks containing nutrient agar-agar. |
| Seeds from the fruits were collected and viable seeds were distinguished by the colour of the aril. |
| Seeds of many Australian species require several months' storage before germination is possible. |
| Seeds are notoriously slow to germinate, so mark the rows by planting a fast-growing crop, such as radishes, with the beet seeds. |
| Seeds were germinated and seedlings were hydroponically grown as previously described. |
