[Genetic differentiation of hexaploid wheat inferred from analysis of microsatellite loci].

Landraces of wheat can serve as important potential sources for extending the genetic basis of selection cultivars. Analysis of microsatellites and typing of polymorphism in a representative sample of 347 genotypes, including landraces and selection cultivars, was performed using a set of 38 selected oligonucleotide primer pairs. Classification of genotypes with respect to the level of their similarity was performed using cluster analysis.

[Study of a collection of Triticum spelta L. wheat species using gliadin polymorphism].

Using gliadins, endosperm storage proteins of kernels, as markers, the genetic diversity of 170 samples from the Triticum spelta L. collection of the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry was studied. High intraspecific polymorphism of the gliadin electrophoretic patterns was revealed.
