ROLE OF GENOTYPE AND WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE FORMATION MORPHOBIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICALLY VALUABLE TRAITS OF SPRING SOFT WHEAT

The work was carried out in 2018-2019 in the forest-steppe zone of Samara region. The purpose of the research is to conduct study samples of collection nursery of various ecological and geographical origins and identify new sources of economically valuable traits for breeding in the forest – steppe of the Middle Volga region. The material for research was 352 collection samples of spring soft wheat, including 108 foreign varieties and hybrids and 244 domestic samples of breeding institutions of the Russian Federation. Meteorological conditions during the research years were quite severe, and vegetation took place in arid and acutely arid conditions (hydrothermal coefficient in 2018 – 0.51, in 2019 – 0.48, with a long-term value in the region of 0.73). The greatest variability over the years of research was observed in the indicators of grain yield of samples (Сv=23.9...27.5 %) and plants height (Сv=10.8...12.9 %). According to the research results, 30 new genetic sources of economically valuable traits of spring soft wheat were identified. Sources of precocity (period of shoots-earing 35...37 days): Uralskaya kukushka, Chelyaba rannyaya, Tyumenskaya 25, Lutescens 70, Odeta, Libertina, Chi Mai, Long Fu 7, M83-1551. Sources of short stems (plants height 40...45 cm): KWS Torridon, KWS Jetstream, Florens, Eleganza, Long Fu 13. Sources of consistently high productivity (grain yield 415...554 g/m2, and the yield increase over the standard 71...210 g/m2): Erythrospermum 4089, Grekum 5523, Lutescens 6029, Lutescens 6074/6-23, Lutescens 6102/1-32, Lutescens 6102/1-34 Erythrospermum 6517/24-1, Ekada 214, Burlak, Ulyanovskaya 105, Lebedushka, Saratovskaya 73. Sources of high protein content (15.4...16.7 %) and gluten (36.0...42.0 %) in grain: Erythrospermum 3898, Erythrospermum 4112, Erythrospermum 4171, Erythrospermum 5289

The aim of the study is to search for new sources of resistance to stinking smut among the ITMI population lines. The article presents analysis of data on the study of reaction of spring soft wheat, which is resistant to stinking smut, to the introduction of pathogen. The experimental part of the work was carried out in 2016-2018 on an infectious background of a phyto-stage in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region (Samara ARI-branch of SamRC RAS, Bezenchuk country). 77 lines of ITMI mapping population were used as objects, as well as a population of Tilletia caries pathogen collected from zoned and susceptible varieties. In the experiment, healthy seeds (control) and seeds infected with pathogen were sown. For inoculation of wheat seeds with this pathogen, the A. I. Borggardt-Anpilogov method was used. Cleaning was carried out manually, by cutting plants from the plot in the phase of full ripeness. Accounting for damage to samples of stinking smut was carried out in the phase of milk-wax stage of the grain, carefully viewing and counting all the spikes on the plot. A five-grade scale created by V. I. Krivchenko was used for classing the samples resistance to stinking smut. Weather conditions in the years of research were different, but developed mainly favorable for creating an infectious background, as well as for the growth of spring wheat plants. 4 lines had immunity (ITMI-40, 75, 90, 91). Practical stability was observed on 5 lines (damage from 4.3 to 10.0%). 8 lines were poorly susceptible (the maximum lesion was 21.0%). With an average susceptibility, 21 lines were isolated, the remaining lines were mostly affected by more than 50%. Selected samples can serve as a valuable source material for use in immunological breeding programs.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the adaptability parameters of zoned and promising varieties of spring soft wheat and to identify samples that combine high grain yield and adaptive properties for forest-steppe conditions of the Middle Volga region. The work was carried out in 2017–2020 in the central zone of the Samara region. Methods. The object of research was 12 varieties of competitive testing related to different stages of breeding. Observations and records were carried out according to the Methodology of the state variety testing of agricultural crops, assessment of the adaptability of varieties according to the methods of A. A. Goncharenko and L. A. Zhivotkov. Weather conditions in 2017–2020 were diverse and varied from the average annual values. Results. The average crop yield varied from 2.10 t/ha (2019) to 3.72 t/ha (2017), the coefficient of variation Cv = 23.8 %. Varieties with a high average grain yield (3.15–3.26 t/ha) and a smaller variation (19.9–22.5 %) were identified – Eritrospermum 6310/10-63, Lutestsens 6102/1-32, Eritrospermum 6517/24-1. The varieties Eritrospermum 6310/10-63 (–1.39), Eritrospermum 6381 (–1.50), and Kinel’skaya 59 (–1.50) had the greatest resistance to stress. Varieties Lutestsens 6045, Kinel’skaya yubileynaya, Lutestsens 6102/1-32 – differed in specific adaptation and formed the highest average grain yield (3.16–3.20 t/ha) under contrasting conditions. The average coefficient of adaptability of varieties ranged from 0.85 to 1.08. The majority of varieties (58.3 %) had a high coefficient of adaptability (greater than 1), the highest values (1.08) were the promising varieties Lutescens 6102/1-32 and Erythrospermum 6310/10-63. Scientific novelty. A new adaptive material of spring soft wheat has been isolated for use in breeding programs of the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga region.
