Temperature sweep gel electrophoresis in combination with random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was employed to detect two markers for a single gene governing low cadmium uptake in western Canadian durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). Analysis of progeny derived from a cross of the high cadmium accumulating cultivar Kyle by the low cadmium accumulating cultivar Nile resulted in linkage estimates of 4.6 (OPC-20) and 21.2 (UBC-180) cM. The closest marker (OPC-20) was shown to be useful for making low cadmium uptake selections from two other sources of low cadmium, 'Biodur' and 'Hercules'. The marker was further used to determine the genetic basis of resistance in 20 introduced durum wheat lines. Within this diverse range of germplasm the marker was correlated with cadmium contents as expected in all but two cases. Plant breeding selection for low cadmium genotypes is hindered by the high cost of chemical determination of cadmium content. Marker assisted selection for a low cadmium uptake gene offers an effective alternative.Key words: cadmium, durum wheat, RAPD markers, marker assisted selection, temperature sweep gel electrophoresis.

The objective of this study was to assess the energy efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in durum wheat and sorghum grains in the period 2017-2019. Bulgarian durum wheat variety Predel was studied at a stationary fertilizer trial on soil type Pellic vertisols at the Institute of Field Crops in Chirpan, Bulgaria. Grain sorghum hybrid EC Alize was investigated on the experimental field of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on soil type Mollic Fluvisols. The crops were grown under non-irrigated conditions. The studied nitrogen rates were 0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg N.ha-1. In durum wheat, nitrogen was applied two times: one third at sowing, and the rest - as top dressing in the tillering stage.  In sorghum, the total nitrogen was applied as pre-sowing fertilization before sowing. The nitrogen fertilizer was applied as NH4NO3. The experimental design was a randomized, complete block design with four replications with a size of experimental plots of 20 m2 for both crops. The energy efficiency of nitrogen fertilization (h) was calculated as the ratio between the received energy from additional grain yield of wheat and sorghum, respectively, and the invested energy from fertilization. It was established that energy efficiency of nitrogen fertilization depended on the nitrogen rate and hydro-thermal conditions during the vegetation period of durum wheat and sorghum. The bioenergy coefficient of durum wheat widely varied from 0.79 (N240 in 2018) to 4.44 (N60 in 2017). The average for the period, the highest value of energy efficiency of nitrogen fertilization was obtained at the low rate N60 The higher nitrogen rate of 240 kg N.ha-1 was slightly effective. Under drought conditions during the vegetation period of sorghum, most effective was the application of rates N120 with the highest energy coefficient ​​of 1.23. The application of 180 kg N.ha-1 to sorghum was the most energy efficient under the favorable hydro-thermal conditions in 2018 and 2019, and the average for the period 2017-2019. A low N60 rate in grain sorghum was inefficient from an energy point of view. Durum wheat showed higher energy efficiency of nitrogen fertilization compared to grain sorghum.
