Features of the formation of grain productivity and quality indicators in collected samples of spring bread wheat

According to the research results, collection samples of spring bread wheat were identified as sources of valuable agronomic traits, contributing to the effectiveness of breeding programs aimed at developing highly productive varieties that meet the requirements of modern agriculture. The aim of the study was to identify gene pool accessions with valuable traits and to involve them in the breeding process for the development of highly productive source material under the conditions of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research was conducted in 2021–2025 at the V.M. Remeslo Myronivka Institute of Wheat of the NAAS of Ukraine. The material included 575 collection samples of diverse ecological and geographical origin, which made it possible to cover a wide range of genetic diversity. Collection samples of spring bread wheat were identified for their potential use in scientific and breeding programs as source material for developing new varieties based on the following traits: yield components (spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, and grain weight per spike), including Erythrospermum 22-01 (UKR), MUCUY, FITIS, BAV92/SERI (MEX), Anabel (CZE), Quintus, Matthus, Melissos (DEU), Licamero (FRA), Yangmai 15, Tianmin 184 (CHN); and grain quality traits (protein content, wet gluten content, sedimentation index), including Rakansam, Seke, Tselinnaya niva (KAZ), Erythrospermum 22-01 (UKR), Yangmai 15, Ningchun 9, Jingchun 533, Hingchun 26 (CHN), and KWS Collada (DEU). It should be noted that the samples Erythrospermum 22-01 and Yangmai 15 combine high levels of both productivity and grain quality, making them particularly valuable for developing varieties with a complex of desirable agronomic traits. Thus, the results indicate significant potential for the use of spring bread wheat collection material in breeding and support the feasibility of its inclusion in hybridization programs to develop highly productive source material.

Key words: spring wheat, yield components, protein and wet gluten content, sedimentation value, breeding.
