Complex resistance of spring and winter bread wheat lines to biotic and abiotic stresses.

An original initial material of spring and winter bread wheat with group resistance to stem and leaf rust was developed using new donors of resistance to stem rust: winter soft wheat GT 96/90 (Bulgaria) and accession 119/4-06rw with genetic material of the species Triticum migushovae and (Aegilops speltoides and Secale cereale), respectively, a line of spring wheat 113/00i-4 obtained using the species Ae. triuncialis and T. kiharae, as well as spring accession 145/00i with genetic material of the species Ae.

Phenotypic diversity of bread wheat lines with introgressions from the diploid cereal Aegilops speltoides for technological properties of grain and f lour.

The creation of varieties adapted to changing environmental conditions, resistant to various pathogens, and satisfying various grain purposes is impossible without using the genetic diversity of wheat. One of the ways to expand the genetic diversity of wheat is to introduce new variants of genes from the genetic pool of congeners and wild relatives into the genotypes of existing varieties. In this study, we used 10 lines from the Arsenal collection created on the genetic basis of the spring variety 'Rodina' and the diploid species Aegilops speltoides in the Federal Research Center "Nemchinovka" in 1994.

[Genetic analysis of the traits introgressed from Aegilops speltoides Tausch. to common wheat and determined by chromosome 5A genes].

A winter common wheat accession from the Arsenal collection was genetically examined to study the results of introgression, which substantially changed the physiological and morphological traits of the original spring cultivar Rodina. Apart from its winter habit, the accession was characterized by awned speltoid spikes, suggesting introgression into chromosome 5A, which carried marker genes in the order Vrn-Al-Q-Bl. Genetic analysis showed that the chromosome fragment introgressed from Aegilops speltoides recombined well with the homeologous region of common wheat chromosome 5A in the region between the Vrn-Al and Q genes.

[Phytopathological and molecular genetic identification of brown rust resistance genes in common wheat accessions with alien genetic material].

Brown rust resistance genes were sought in 23 resistant common wheat accessions with alien genetic material of Aegilops speltoides, Ae. triuncialis, and Triticum kiharae from the Arsenal collection. The genes were identified by common phytopathological tests and PCR analysis with STS markers directed to the known Lr genes.

[Analysis of inheritance of morphological and biochemical characters introgressed into common wheat from Aegilops speltoides Tausch].

Genetic control of some morphological traits and the gliadin composition were examined in plants of two lines of common wheat carrying genes introgressed from the wild diploid cereal Aegilops speltoides. Leaf hairiness was shown to be controlled by a single introgressed dominant gene that was not allelic to the known common wheat gene Hl1. Waxlessness of the whole plant is controlled by the introgressed from Ae.
