The results of research at the department of grain breeding and seed production in 2015–2017 on the territory of the grain-ploughed crop rotation of the State Enterprise of the experimental farm «Chabany» of the NSC «Institute of Agriculture NAAN» located in the Fastiv district of Kyiv region are presented. We studied 850 lines of introgression obtained as a result of remote hybridization in previous studies. 10 lines with a grain yield from 788.2 to 949.4 g per square meter were identified, a high grain yield was found in lines 2555 and 2555/2 (949.4 and 912.1 g, respectively). The 12,2/1 line with a 1000-grain weight of 53.6 g and an index of grain weight from an ear of 2.0 g significantly exceeded the standard variety by 8.6 g and 0.56 g, respectively. In terms of quality indicators, the protein content in the grain of the selected lines was at the level of 16.8–17.9%, gluten 29.7–32.12%, Green indicator 65.7–74.7% and significantly exceeded the Standard Polesskaya 90 variety by 2.7–3.8%, 5.1–7.5% and 20.6–29.6%, respectively. Lines that are advisable to use to obtain the best combination of economically valuable traits and biological properties for a complex of traits are identified. Lines 2557, 2555, 2559, 11,2, — yield per m2, ear length, protein content in grain, gluten, Green indicator, disease resistance and winter hardiness; in addition, line 2557 — the number of spikelets in an ear; lines 2555 and 2559 — the number of spikelets, the number of grains in an ear; line 2555 — mass of grains per ear. Lines 2/1 and 12,2/1 — yield per 1 m2, number of spikelet’s, number of grains in an ear, weight of grains per ear, protein and gluten content in a grain, Zeleny indicator, disease resistance and winter hardiness; in addition, line 12,2/1 is the mass of 1000 grains and the length of the ear, lines 2533/2, 2555/2, 2558/1 and 2561/1 — the content of protein, gluten in the grain, Green indicator, disease resistance and winter hardiness; in addition, line 2555/2 for the yield from 1 m2. The use of remote crosses of Triticum aestivum L. with Aegilops species made it possible to create a wide source material that is of interest for obtaining highyielding, winter-hardy and disease-resistant winter wheat varieties with high grain quality in the foreststeppe of Ukraine and will be used in the following breeding programs.

Ninety-nine F4 lines from the cross Lennox × Stadler of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ranged widely in both kernel hardness and kernel protein content. A nonsignificant correlation of r = −0.17 showed the absence of any tendency for hardness and high protein to be associated, contrary to what might be expected from the association found in commercial cultivars.

Tamburic-Ilincic, L. and Smid, A. 2015. UGRC Ring, soft red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 1033–1035. UGRC Ring is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar registered for Ontario, Canada. It has high grain yield, with good pastry quality (high flour yield, high falling number) and is moderately resistant to powdery mildew. UGRC Ring has good winter hardiness and is well adapted for the winter wheat growing areas of Ontario.

Several experiments were conducted with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) during 1978 and 1979 to characterize genotypic variation in some physiological and morphological traits, and to evaluate the magnitude of the relationships between grain yield and the various traits studied. Straw weights of cultivars grown in Eastern Canada were similar to, and harvest indices generally lower than, those reported for high yielding varieties from other countries. Highest grain weights were also lower than the upper values recorded for some cultivars in the U.K. and Mexico, and were little affected by spikelet removal in most cases. All experiments were consistent in showing highly significant correlations between grain yield and grains per square metre, straw weight, harvest index, spikes per square metre, and flag leaf area index, and significant correlations between grain yield and grain weight. Diffusive resistance of the adaxial surface of the flag leaves differed between genotypes, but correlations between diffusive resistance and yield were low and nonsignificant in all cases, with the exception of the preanthesis period in one experiment.Key words: Wheat (winter), Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell., yield, physiological-morphological traits.
