Aim. The effect of foliar urea nutrition on grain yield, protein, total protein harvest, and nitrogen content in the grain per spike in winter wheat plants of different varieties was studied. Methods. In the field experiment plants of six different bread winter wheat varieties were fertilized with urea in different ways: 1) control; 2) foliar nutrition with urea at the end of anthesis with a dose of 7 kg N / ha; 3) foliar nutrition with urea in the phase of late milk development. Results. It was found that after nutrition in the first period the yield increased by 7-11%, while after nutrition in the second period it remained practically unchanged in comparison with the control. The applied dose of nitrogen did not have a significant effect on the protein content. Grain productivity increased without reducing protein content in this case, and there was no negative correlation between these indicators. As a result, grain protein content was significantly increased in all varieties. Natalka had the highest indicator, due to the best combination of protein content and yield. The calculations of the increase in nitrogen content in the grain per spike at the end of anthesis showed that it was significantly higher than the out-of-root dose. Conclusions. Thus, it has been shown that foliar nutrition of wheat with urea at the end of anthesis is advisable for increase of protein harvest with the crop. This measure stimulates the functional activity of plants, promotes efficiency of nitrogen utilization. Keywords: nitrogen, grain protein, yield, winter wheat, foliar nutrition.

This study was conducted to examine genotypic differences in tissue nitrogen content of wheat and establish the extent to which they were related to variation in grain yield and protein content. Thirty-six genotypes consisting of cultivars and advanced breeding lines were grown at four rates of applied nitrogen: 0, 50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha, for 3 years. Above-ground plant matter was harvested at approximately Zadoks growth stage 31 (commencement of stem elongation), microwaved for 4 min, then oven-dried at 60�C. Tissue nitrogen content of the hammermill-ground sample and grain protein content were determined by Near Infrared Reflectance Spectrometry. Genotypic differences in tissue nitrogen content, grain yield and protein content were established in each year. Maxima for tissue nitrogen and grain protein were obtained at the highest nitrogen rate, whereas the minima were at the zero rate. Yield responses to nitrogen application varied between years. Tissue nitrogen content was positively correlated with grain protein content in 8 of 12 within individual nitrogen rate comparisons. Over all nitrogen rates, the two variables were significantly positively correlated (ranging from r = 0.453 to r = 0.771). Tissue nitrogen content and protein content generally exhibited high heritability estimates within and over years, whereas grain yield had a high within year but a low over years heritability value. The use of tissue nitrogen content provides a possible basis for a screening test to select for yield and protein content in wheat breeding programs.

Deficiency of metals, primarily Fe and Zn, affects over half of the world’s population. Human diets dominated by cereal products cause micronutrient malnutrition, which is common in many developing countries where populations depend heavily on staple grain crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. Biofortification is one of the most effective approaches to alleviate malnutrition. Genetically stable mutant spring wheat lines (M7 generation) produced via 100 or 200 Gy gamma treatments to broaden genetic variation for grain nutrients were analyzed for nutritionally important minerals (Ca, Fe, and Zn), their bioavailability, and grain protein content (GPC). Variation was 172.3–883.0 mg/kg for Ca, 40.9–89.0 mg/kg for Fe, and 22.2–89.6 mg/kg for Zn. In mutant lines, among the investigated minerals, the highest increases in concentrations were observed in Fe, Zn, and Ca when compared to the parental cultivar Zhenis. Some mutant lines, mostly in the 100 Gy-derived germplasm, had more than two-fold higher Fe, Zn, and Ca concentrations, lower phytic acid concentration (1.4–2.1-fold), and 6.5–7% higher grain protein content compared to the parent. Variation was detected for the molar ratios of Ca:Phy, Phy:Fe, and Phy:Zn (1.27–10.41, 1.40–5.32, and 1.78–11.78, respectively). The results of this study show how genetic variation generated through radiation can be useful to achieve nutrient biofortification of crops to overcome human malnutrition.
