Abstract An artificial amphiploid ‘RSP’ (2n = 42, AABBDD) between tetraploid landrace Ailanmai (Triticum turgidum L., 2 = 28, AABB) and Aegilops tauschii (DD, 2n = 14) expressed high tolerance to preharvest sprouting which derived from Aegilops tauschii. To determine the inheritance of sprouting tolerance in ‘RSP’, it was crossed with six cultivars which vary in susceptibility to preharvest sprouting. Preharvest sprouting tolerance was assessed on F2 plants using germination towels. Preharvest sprouting tolerance was inherited as a recessive trait which was controlled by one gene.
