Genetic control of dark color of glumes was studied in Triticum spelta L. var. caeruleum accessions using gliadins as genetic markers.

[Alleles at storage protein loci in Triticum spelta L. accessions and their occurrence in related wheats].

Variation at eight storage protein loci was analyzed in the collection of T. spelta accessions from the National Centre of Plant Genetic Resources of Ukraine, most of which are European spelts. The analysis allowed identification of seven alleles at the Gli-B1 locus, five alleles at the Gli-A1 and Glu-B1 loci, three alleles at the Gli-A3 locus, two at the Gli-D1, Gli-B5, Glu-A1, and Glu-D1 loci.

[Genetic collections: problems of formation, conservation and use].

Classification of plant genepool collections are presented, the principal tasks worked on by collections are examined. Databases on genepool collections of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of Syberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia) and the National Centre for Plant Genetic Resources of Ukraine are described. Principles of formation of genepool collections, their existing problems, the methods of maintenance of their viability and genetical authenticity are discussed.
