Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ranks third globally for food crop production behind maize (Zea mays L.) and rice (Orya sativa L.).  Wheat yields must improve to keep up with the increasing demand due a global population which is expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2050 and also increasing individual wealth which will expand food markets.  Current genetic gains of 1% per year for grain yield must increase if production must increase by 70% by 2050.  Hybrid wheat could help increase the rate of genetic gain, but for hybrid wheat to be a commercial success hybrid seed production costs must decrease.  How can this be achieved?  The floral architecture of wheat needs to be changed to improve cross pollination specifically for male characteristics.  It is important to increase the amount of pollen available and to do this we focused on rating 299 lines for anther extrusion which is a visual measure of how many anthers are shed outside of the floret.
