GRAIN QUALITY IN THE NEAR-ISOGENIC LINES OF COMMON WHEAT VARIETY SARATOVSKAYA 29
There was studied the effect of marker genes of the near-isogenic lines of common wheat variety Saratovskaya 29 on grain quality traits, such as thousand-kernel weight, total vitreousness, crude gluten content, and grain hardness. It has been determined that all the marker genes introduced to the variety affect grain hardness: either improve this trait, or reduce it. It has been demonstrated that most of the genes have a pleiotropic effect and affect the forming of two, three and four traits related to yielding capacity.
