New prototypes of winter wheat varieties allotted for competitive testing during pre-breeding process

A new original initial material of winter wheat was created by using stem rust resistant donors. The new lines resistant to leaf and stem rust were assessed under the field conditions in the North Caucasus and the Central region of the Russian Federation. Some of the resistant genotypes were assessed in laboratory conditions for abiotic stress resistance to: salinity, acidification, and prolonged flooding of seeds in water. a two-year assessment of the lines productivity in the control nursery under the conditions of the Moscow region 7 genotypes of winter wheat were identified with high and medium resistance to lodging, group resistance to fungal diseases, heading 5-7 days earlier than the standard, the optimal plant height of 90-110 cm, the average development of grain per ear and 1000 grains mass and forming good quality yield. Lines 2-19w, 9-19w, 16-19w, 36-19w, 63-19w, 90-19w, 92-19w will be tested in competitive variety testing and may be presented as prototypes of varieties for the Non-Black Earth Central Region.
