Effects of the alleles of the Rht8 gene on the agricultural traits of bread winter wheat under conditions of the steppe region of the Southern Ukraine

Resistance to frost and winter hardiness, as well as crop capacity and its components, were studied in the recombinant-inbred F5 Odesskaya and 16/Bezostayal lines and also in 61 lines of winter wheat carrying different alleles of the Rht8 gene. We observed no influence of different alleles of the Rh...

Description
Summary:Resistance to frost and winter hardiness, as well as crop capacity and its components, were studied in the recombinant-inbred F5 Odesskaya and 16/Bezostayal lines and also in 61 lines of winter wheat carrying different alleles of the Rht8 gene. We observed no influence of different alleles of the Rht8 gene on the traits under consideration. The preponderance of the Rht8c allele in modern wheat lines developed at the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute is therefore a result of its being the most frequently used allele in the genetic pool since 1959.
