Body
Twenty-two ecotypes of mulga mitchell (Thyridolepis mitchelliana) and 20 ecotypes of mulga oats (Monachather paradoxa) grown under glasshouse conditions exhibited intra-specific phenotypic variation for a number of morphological characteristics. Significant variation in seed yield, seed size, plant height and tiller number was observed between ecotypes. The impact of this variation on the domestication of these species for agricultural use is discussed.
