FORMATION PECULIARITIES AND VARIABILITY OF QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN WINTER RYE LINES DEVELOPED USING SELF-FERTILITY GENES

Abstract

The results of the work on the development of self-pollinated winter rye lines using self-fertility genes are presented in the article. It is shown that the use of a self-fertility donor allows conducting a large-scale inbreeding program and increasing the significance of the identification of the best lines with different genotype qualities. The development of genetically various material enables to use winter rye potential in heterosis breeding more effectively that will create the basis for the yield increase of rye hybrids more than by 15%.
