Parent`s genetic variability- a condition for successful wheat improvement

Abstract
When selecting the goals and programs of improvement, the improver frequently faces the problem of selecting the adequate parents, which would transfer their positive traits, as much as possible, to their descendants. It is of particular importance to use the genetically most divergent parents who would assure, by their mutual cross-breeding, a sufficient quantum of genetic variability and enable a selection of desired genotypes.
In this study we shall determine, by using DUS parameters the genetic divergencies of parents in certain cross-breeding combinations, divergency of their descendants on the basis of the crop components and the quality of grain and flower, and emphasize the most prospective lines obtained from these cross-breeds
Keywords
