麦类的生理研究,在日本是从昭和年代初期随着小麦育种试验的发展而开始的。首先着手的是作为基础研究的出穗生理,其后,于1930—40年,在继续开展出穗生理研究的同时,又开始了种子生理,及对光、水、雪、镇压等生理反应的研究。经过二次世界大战时期和战后增产时期,到了五十年代,随着整个作物学基础研究的充实,也进行了有关麦类的细 Physiological research on wheat began in Japan in the early Showa era with the development of wheat breeding trials. In the first place, earliest physiology of the ear started as a basic research. From then on, in 1930-40, while continuing to conduct ear physiology research, seed physiology started again, and physiological responses to light, water, snow and repression the study. After World War II and the post-war stimulation period, by the 1950s, with the enrichment of the basic research of crop science, there was also conducted a survey on the fineness of wheat
