Extension of the forming process in the selection of winter common wheat for productivity and quality by using the gene pool of related wheat species within the framework of food security

Abstract

The formation process in the selection of winter common wheat for productivity and quality has been expanded by using the gene pool of related species. The purpose of this study was to expand the formative process in the selection of Triticum aestivum L. winter type of development with the further obtaining of genotypes with increased adaptability, plant productivity and grain quality through the use of winter common wheat with purple grain, whole grain wheat and Ethiopian wheat in hybridization. In the study, the methods of conducting the examination of plant varieties are used for carrying out phenological observations, morphological studies, evaluation of breeding material according to economic and valuable characteristics. In the creation of new forms, methods of hybridization and individual selection were used, and the TVEL method was used for pollination. The protein and gluten content were determined by infrared spectrometry. Parental components were studied and selected to expand the forming process to obtain productive grains from the main ear, thousand kernel weight, high grain quality, resistant to lodging, shedding of grain, drought-resistant and resistant to fungal pathogens, hybrid forms, specifically as a result of involvement of the source material Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum sphaerococcum Perc. in the hybridization. According to the results of the hybridization of winter common wheat and Ethiopian wheat, it was possible to obtain and breed in F4 forms with a long ear (>10-11 cm), an increased amount of grain from the main ear (>55 pcs.) and a different colour of grain from dark brown to purple, as an indicator of increased anthocyanin content and high antioxidant capacity. The practical value of this study lies in the fact that the research results expand information on the use of winter common wheat in the selection of productivity and quality of other types of wheat: Triticum sphaerococcum, T. aethiop. var. decoloratum, and the developed proposals will allow considering the use of parental components of wheat in research, help improve methods of hybridization and selection of new forms with desirable traits in the system of interspecies crossings
