Abstract	At Resource Seeds, Inc., the triticale breeding programme's basic objective is improving the forage and grain yield in both the winter and spring cultivars. New crosses are made and genetic stocks are developed at two primary research sites in California. The initial screening for winter types is done mainly in Texas, Washington, Ohio and North Carolina. The spring cultivars are evaluated mainly in California, Washington and the northeast. Fifteen cultivars used in productions from 1996 to 2003. It is estimated that only 400 000 ha of triticale are grown in the USA. The continuing plant breeding programme is aimed at developing commercially acceptable hybrid triticale. Since 1983, five cytoplasms have been transferred to triticale. The best male sterile system was observed in two cytoplasms; Triticum timopheevii and Aegilops sharonensis. Since 1988, three restorers were identified for the A. sharonensis cytoplasm and one for the A. juvenalis cytoplasm
