Inheritance resistance of F1 spring wheat to Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. and Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici Rob. in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

Studying the inheritance pattern of resistance level to leaf fungal diseases in first-generation hybrids of common and durum spring wheat is an urgent task in the creation of highly resistant varieties. The purpose of the research was to determine the degree of phenotypic dominance and heterosis level for resistance to Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. and Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici Rob. in F1 spring wheat. The study was conducted in 2023–2024 at the V.M. Remeslo Myronivka Institute of Wheat of the NAAS of Ukraine. The material for the research consisted of 20 F1 spring wheat varieties obtained from crossing samples of various ecological and geographical origins. Selection, field, and mathematical-statistical methods were used. It has been established that in terms of resistance to powdery mildew and brown leaf rust, spring wheat hybrid combinations showed various inheritance patterns from depression to overdominance, depending on the selection of pairs for hybridization (hybrid combinations of durum spring wheat as compared to common spring wheat showed higher resistance to leaf fungal diseases) and on the conditions of the year (the highest resistance score was observed in 2024 compared to 2023). The following combinations are valuable for breeding work: soft spring wheat Xunzhe 9/MIP Oleksandra, A2/Elehiia myronivska, Yaouyaan 448/Dubravka, Gingchun 533/Struna myronivska, Moyin 2/MIP Zlata and durum spring wheat MIP Kseniia/MIP Mahdalena, MIP Mahdalena/MUSK DUKEN, MIP Raiduzhna/Neodur, which were characterized by group resistance to Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Em. and Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici Rob. They can serve as highly resistant basic material. The most unsuccessful combinations of parental forms in hybrid combinations of soft spring wheat Hingchun 26/MIP Svitlana, Trizo/MIP Vesnianka, MIP Vesnianka/Line 15-36 were found to be as they caused depression, partial negative and intermediate inheritance.

Key words: common and durum spring wheat, F1, inheritance, resistance, powdery mildew, brown leaf rust, degree of phenotypic dominance, selection.
