Using gene pool of related species for breeding improvement of wheat by grain quality

Abstract

The possibility of using natural and artificially created species and synthetic amphidiploids to expand genetic diversity and to enrich gene pool of bread wheat by new original hereditary material was shown. It is advisable to involve wheat introgressive forms with genetic material from related species for breeding improvement of wheat by grain quality. Just the lines with genetic material derived from T. dicoccum, T. polonicum, T. sphaerococcum, T. turgidum, T. com pactum and amphidiploids WAeAH (T. dicoccum / Ae. tauschii), AD 221-4 (T. persicum / Ae. tauschіі), АS 7 (T. durum / Ae. tauschii), and Ae. cylindrica possessed the highest rates of sedimentation, gluten and protein content.
