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.

An experiment has been conducted to assess the real time utility and abundance of organic minerals in cultivation of common wheat, Triticum aestivum L. in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh with the aim of finding the effect of available soil organic minerals on various biochemicals or chemical characters including yield attributes. For the experiment, the cultivar namely RAJ-4037 which is best for dry land area and crop matures in 120 days. This variety is suitable for bakery and beverage industry, has been taken. The pre availability of manures were measured and the application of various fertilizers have been done as per the recommended dose for the cultivation. The data of various biochemical characters like Dry matter accumulation, Protein content, NPK in grain, NPK in straw, yield and biological yields have been recorded as per standard methods. The results revealed that organic minerals had a significant impact to influence the various biochemical traits such as dry matter accumulation maximum in FYM, Protein content (11.18), NPK (0.60; 0.35 and 0.36) were recorded maximum in vermin compost treatment.

Early generation data consisting of F1 heterosis, F1, F2 and F3 mean performances, parent-offspring regression, and F2–F3 intergeneration correlation were used to identify potentially promising spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) crosses in terms of yield, kernel weight and protein content. The F1 test identified one high-yielding cross out of six showing significant level of higher parent (38%) and mid-parent (70%) heterosis for yield, respectively. The top yielding cross, viz. Glenlea × NB505, in F1 was also the second highest yielding population in F2 and the best yielder in F3 based on two locations. Hence, although F2 single plant productivity measurements misplaced the rankings of some of the crosses, F1 and F3 performances indicated the relative potential of the different populations. Most crosses showed nonsignificant F2–F3 regression and correlation coefficients for yield but significant coefficients for kernel weight. For protein content highly significant F2–F3 regression and correlation coefficients were observed only for crosses involving the high protein parent. The use in F1 of weight-free selection indices involving yield, kernel weight and protein content ranked Glenlea × NB505 as the best of six populations whereas in F3 the same cross had the best aggregate merit when only yield and kernel weight were considered in the index. The inclusion of protein content in the index favored a high protein cross, Sinton × Glenlea.Key words: Wheat, Triticum aestivum, heterosis, parent-offspring regression, intergeneration correlation, selection index

A spontaneous virescent mutant was found segregating in progeny of an F2 plant from the cross of two hard red spring wheats, II-54-30/Pitic 62. The mutant was completely recessive in the F1. F2 and backcross segregations support the hypothesis of a single locus conditioning phenotype. The homozygous mutant is normal green at 30 C and practically devoid of chlorophyll at 18 C. Very little additional chlorophyll is developed in virescent tissue when later subjected to higher temperatures. The mutant appears similar to Neatby's virescent but likely is different because seedlings of Neatby's had little chlorophyll at 30 C while this mutant was normal green.

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.

Kharkov 22 MC, a cultivar of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) whose roots show a magnetotropic response, was crossed to Reward, a cultivar of spring wheat (T. aestivum L.), whose roots show no magnetotropic response. The magnetotropic responses of the F1, B2, F2, and B2 populations were the same as that of the female parent used in the crosses or backcrosses, showing that this characteristic is inherited through the cytoplasm.
