Milling properties of winter soft wheat varieties The article deals with the study results of milling properties of winter soft wheat varieties. The purpose of the research was to study the indexes of grain and flour properties of new promising varieties of winter soft wheat developed in FSBSI ARRIGC after I.G. Kalinenko (test weight, flour ash content and flour color) and a total flour extraction and flour extraction according to the breaking and milling systems. The objects of the study were the varieties of winter soft wheat ‘Don 95’, ‘Ermak’, ‘Don 107’, ‘Asket’, ‘Izyuminka’, ‘Lidiya’, ‘Kapitan’, ‘Kaprizulya’, ‘Lilit’ and ‘Kapitan’. The study of test weight and general vitreousness of grain was paid special aatention during the breeding on grain quality as these traits is the most important characteristics of milling properties. On average during the years of study the largest test weight (more than 800 g/l) formed the varieties ‘Izyuminka’ (836g/l), ‘Admiral’(835g/l), ‘Don 95’ (834g/l), ‘Don 107’ (830g/l), ‘Lilit’ (829g/l), ‘Asket’ (819g/l), ‘Kaprizulya’ (808g/l) and ‘Kapitan’ (803g/l). There has been given characteristics of zoned and promising varieties according to their total flour extraction and flour extraction through the systems. The varieties ‘Admiral’ (71.8%), ‘Asket’ (71.4%) and ‘Lidiya’ (71.2%) showed the best results on average through the years of study. The varieties ‘Izyuminka’, ‘Lilit’, ‘Kaprizulya’, ‘Ermak’, ‘Asket’ and ‘Lidiya’ exceeded all the rest varieties according to the complex of physical and milling properties of grain and flour quality. The results of correlation analysis show that test weight has a great effect on the total flour yield and grain vitreousness has a slight effect on it.

Residual water deficit of winter wheat as one of the traits of drought tolerance The article presents the data of the amount of residual water deficit (RWD) of winter soft wheat in various stages of development and growing conditions. There have been found the varieties with a minimum increase (from 0.5% to 13.7%) of residual water deficit in a milk-ripe stage in comparison with a flowering stage (‘Asket’, ‘Lidiya’ and ‘Izyuminka’). It has been determined the effect of water stress on the productivity and elements of yield structure (weight of head, number of kernels per head, 1000-seed weight, density of productive stand). The varieties ‘Asket’, ‘Kapitan’, ‘Kaprizulya’ and ‘Lilit’ showed the least decrease of density of productive stand compared with the control. The variety ‘Krasa Dona’ and the line ‘352/11’ showed the maximum reduce of number of kernels per head on 44% and 40% respectively (compared with the control) and the sample ‘110/11’ showed the minimum decrease of the element (5%). The sample ‘1210/10’ showed the largest decrease of 1000-seed weight (35%), the minimum decrease of the trait was established for the samples ‘352/11’, ‘Kazachka’ and ‘110/11’ (9%, 15%, 10% respectively). The winter soft wheat varieties ‘Luchezar’ and ‘Kazachka’, the lines ‘110/11’ and ‘108/11’ produced the largest yields in dry conditions (301.8 g/m², 268.5 g/m², 305.2 g/m², 296.8 g/m² respectively). There has been carried out correlation of the indexes of residual water deficit of winter soft wheat with the amount of productivity in the conditions of insufficient moisture r=0.80 and in the conditions of optimal humidity r=0.32.

Heterosis in breeding of sweet sorghum The breeding work with sorghum is directed on the development both highly productive and highly heterosis hybrids which usually surpass the best parental form on 15-30% and sometimes on 50% in grain and green chop productivity. The essential direction of sorghum breeding is to grow new hybrids with high effects of heterosis of economically valuable traits with their further introduction into the State List of breeding Achievements and their implementation into production. In our work with the hybrids of the first generation of sweet sorghum we used seven hybrids F₁, CMS-lines and six varieties. The study was carried out in 2013-2015 in ARRIGC after I.G. Kalinenko and Stavropol RIA. The studied hybrids from the middle maturing group of ripeness had 108 days of the period ‘sprouts-milky-wax maturity’. During the period the genuine heterosis of the hybrids ranged from -7.5 to 15.6%. All studied hybrids ranked over the best parental form in initial growth activity, in plant height, stem thickness, density of leaves (excluding the hybrid ‘Alga’), protein content, green chop productivity (G_ist.=44.4%) and absolutely dry matter (G_ist.=32.0%). The productivity of green chop for silage ranged from 59.3 t/ha (‘Zersil’) to 84.2 t/ha (‘Kalaus’) with the average value of 69.3 t/ha among the hybrids. The hybrids ‘Start’ and ‘Kalaus’ produced the maximum yield of absolutely dry matter (20.9 t/ha). The mother cytoplasm has a great effect on the studied traits. The hybrids, obtained on the basis of CMS-line ‘Knyazhna’ showed the largest heterosis in all studied traits.

The increase of grain production is a key purpose of agricultural development in Russia. Spring barley largely determines the amount of gross grain yields in the regions of RF, including North Caucasus. Being principal forage crop, its grain is raw material for brewery, food and other types of production. Its specific weight in the production of forage grain was 80% for the last years, its share in the amount of sowing areas was more than 30%. On the present stage of agricultural development it is necessary to develop highly productive varieties with good agro ecologic stability to increase gross yield of spring barley and to supply husbandry with valuable forage grain. The early maturity is one of the main mechanisms protecting plants from summer droughts. The article gives economic-biological characteristics of a new early maturing drought tolerant variety of spring barley ‘Gris’, introduced into the State List of Breeding Achievements in North Caucasus in 2016. The new variety possesses high plasticity and productivity. The variety exceeds the main zoned varieties in resistance to lodging and in tolerance to regional diseases under artificial and natural infection. The introduction of the spring barley variety ‘Gris’ will play a definite part in the improvement of barley productivity, stability of the crop and complete supply with valuable forage grain.

THE STUDY OF THE MODES OF INHERITANCE OF THE TRAIT ‘1000-SEED WEIGHT’ BY THE HYBRIDS F₂ OF WINTER SOFT WHEAT The work presents the results of the study of 10 hybrids F₂ obtained from diallele crossings of such varieties and lines of winter soft wheat as ‘Bunchuk’, ‘Kipchak’, ‘1421/06’ (a working name ‘Luiza’) and ‘696/98’ (a working name ‘Emma’). With the help of the computer programs ‘Gen-3’ and ‘Polygen A’ there has been carried out a genetic analysis of the trait ‘1000-seed weight’. During the genetic analysis there have been determined the types of dominance of the trait values: from its absence to a super dominance; the degree of dominance varied from -0.08 to 4.0. It has been found that the differences of the studied varieties of winter soft wheat in the value of ‘1000-seed weight’ are determined by a small number of genes with various strength, i.e. 1-2 pairs, responsible for the inheritance of the studied trait. It allows selecting and using in the process of selection some recombined forms with a proper recurrence of hereditary traits from a relatively small number of hybrid populations.

Winter wheat resistance to main stress factors of environment and weather (review) Difficult weather-climatic conditions put a number of important tasks before winter wheat breeding. Some years are characterized with unfavourable stress factors of environment which should be taken into account during winter wheat breeding. Among all year with good growing conditions for winter crops there are some years with sudden change of temperature in winter months and in spring, when plants suffer from freezing, bulging, waterlogging that result in thinning of crops and even crop failure. Early spring and later spring frosts reduce crop productivity. Eastern hot dry winds together with high temperatures at the end of June-beginning of July negatively affect on grain filling and ripeness. Pouring precipitations in May-June can cause hard lodging of crops and can become favourable for the development of diseases. All these weather factors make winter wheat breeding more difficult. The article presents and summarizes the study results of winter wheat tolerance to the main stress factors of environment and weather obtained by various researchers.

The content of free proline in winter wheat during autumn-winter-spring periods The article considers the results of determination of the content of free proline in the leaves of winter soft wheat during autumn-winter-spring periods. The free amino acid proline is of great interest due to plant resistance to various stresses, including low zero temperatures. The maximum values can be seen at the beginning and in the middle of winter period, but there are not any significant differences in the content of proline among the studied samples under rather high temperatures. The frost tolerant varieties ‘Don 107’, ‘Asket’ and ‘Donskaya bezostaya’, developed in I.G. Kalinenko ARRIGC possess the maximum value of the content of free proline. The resistance to zero temperatures changes through the whole winter period. The safety of the winter wheat plants has been valued in the middle and at the end of the winter. The frost resistance of winter soft wheat drastically reduces by the spring. There has been determined correlation of the content of free proline and safety of plants during their freezing in the boxes in the chambers with zero temperatures.

Determination of the model of a variety or a hybrid of crops for specific soil and climatic conditions allows conducting breeding work purposefully and effectively. In All-Russian Research Institute of Grain Crops after I.G. Kalinenko 62 interline middle early and middle maturing hybrids of maize have been studied according to a complex of traits. The research has been carried out to determine optimal value of the main traits of maize hybrid productivity, grown for the regions with unstable and insufficient moisture. There has been established positive correlation between productivity of maize hybrids and such traits of productivity as number of cobs per plant (r= 0.71), mass of a cob (r= 0.68), number of kernels per cob (r=0.44), number of kernels per a row in a cob (r=0.60), kernel yield after threshing (r=0.66). There was no correlation between kernel productivity and traits ‘1000-seed weight’, ‘number of kernel rows per cob’. It has been established that maize hybrids, selected for the conditions of unstable and insufficient moisture should be characterized with lack of fruitless plants, optimal value of ‘one cob mass’ (130-140g), large number of kernels per cob (550-620 pc.), large number of kernels per row (38-42 pc.), large yield of kernels during threshing (80% and more), various number of rows per cob (12-18 pc.), average and large values of ‘1000-seed weight’ (230-330 g).

Blast resistance genes of rice and their markers (review) Rice blast is a very harmful and dangerous disease, caused by the fungus pathogen Pyricularia oryzae Cavara риса (Oryza sativa L.). The use of the varieties resistant to the disease is one of the efficient ways to protect plants from diseases. The recent progress in rice genomics allowed using DNA-markers to grow resistant varieties through marker breeding (MAS). The article summarizes the information about blast resistance genes of rice and their markers, which can be used in breeding. The article gives the data about registered genes and their number, chromosome loci, regularities of stability, samples-donors and molecule characteristics of cloned genes. Besides, several questions about a nomenclature system and identification of resistance genes have been considered in the paper. The information can help rice breeders improve rice blast resistance through marker breeding. ARRIGC together with ARRI of rice and SFU have started breeding rice varieties resistant to blast through marker breeding since 2003. Their long-term work in the introgression of resistance genes by PCR-analysis resulted in the development of the rice variety ‘Magnat’ with the genes Pi-1 and Pi-2, and in 2015 there were obtained pyramid rice lines with five rice blast resistance genes Pi-l, Pi-2, Pi-33, Pi-ta and Pi-b.

The article considers the study results of the sainfoin variety ‘Sudar’, introduced into the State List of Breeding Achievements and approved to use in the North-Caucasus region and the sainfoin variety ‘Shuravi’, sent to the State Variety Testing in the same year. The productivity of both new sainfoin varieties largely depended on the conditions in the period of sowing. During the first cycle of sowing the variety ‘Sudar’ produced 27.4 t/ha of green chop, the variety ‘Shuravi’ produced 29.4 t/ha, that exceeded the standard on 7.8% and 15.7% respectively. On average during two cycles of sowing the standard variety ‘Zernogradsky 2’ produced 27.9 t/ha of green chop, the variety ‘Sudar’ 30.8 t/ha and ‘Shuravi’ produced 31.5 t/ha. On average during two cycles of sowing the variety ‘Sudar’ produced 7.68 t/ha of dry matter and the variety ‘Shuravi’ produced 8.32 t/ha that is on 14% and 23% higher than of the standard variety. The variety ‘Sudar’’s productivity of seeds was 0.75 t/ha, that is on 27% higher than of the standard variety. The variety ‘Shuravi’’s productivity of seeds was 0.80 t/ha, that is on 36% higher than of the standard variety. The comparison of biochemical composition of vegetative mass of sainfoin varieties showed that the largest significant differences among new sainfoin varieties and the standard variety occurred in the content of protein and ash. The study of forage value of the sainfoin varieties established that these varieties exceed the standard variety in the amount of fodder units per hectare, amount of raw and digestible protein and ash. The variety ‘Shuravi’ surpasses the variety ‘Sudar’ in all these traits and in the amount of gross exchangeable energy as well. The leaching of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium differed through the cycles among the varieties. The standard variety ‘Zernogradsky 2’ leached 174.5-212.1 kg/ha of nitrogen, 39.5-47.7 kg/ha of phosphorus and 100.3-123.3 kg/ha of potassium. The varieties ‘Sudar’ and ‘Shuravi’ exceed the standard on 15-30% in nitrogen leaching, on 14-27% in phosphorus leaching and on 15-28% in potassium leaching. The variety ‘Shuravi’ showed the largest leaching of the elements. The use of vegetative mass of sainfoin varieties as green fertilizer mixed with a ton of dry matter can supply the soil with 28.7-32.9 g/ha of nitrogen, 6.5-7.2 kg/ha of phosphorus and 16.5-18.7 kg/ha of potassium.

The research was carried out in 2012-2016 in FSBSI All-Russian Research Institute of Grain Crops after I.G. Kalinenko (the laboratory of primary seed-growing and study of seed), located in the southern soil-climatic area of the Rostov region, characterized with unstable and insufficient humidity. The soil of the experimental plot is calcareous heavy loam blacksoil (chernozem), the object of the study is the spring barley variety ‘Leon’ 9introduced into the State List of Breeding Achievements of RF since 2012). The agroclimatic conditions during the years of study significantly differed in the amount of precipitation (from 96.8 mm in 2013 to 249.8 mm in 2015), in temperature regime (from 1923.9⁰C in 2012 to 1721.9⁰C in 2014), that gave an opportunity to evaluate the productivity of the spring barley variety ‘Leon’. The article deals with the study results of the effect of meteorological conditions on the length of vegetation period, productivity of the main element of yield structure of spring barley, i.e. number of productive stems per m², kernel weight per head, number of kernels per head and 1000-seed weight. We have determined the correlation between the sum of active temperatures, average daily temperature of air, amount of precipitation, relative air humidity and hydrothermal co-efficient (HTC) during the vegetation period and the main economic-valuable traits of spring barley. The sum of precipitation (r=+0.81) and HTC (r=+0.82) had a strong positive effect on the length of a vegetation period. The relative air humidity showed a strong correlation with the number of productive stems per m² (r=0.87). The meteorological conditions had a slight effect on the productivity; there were average positive and negative correlations. The study determined a sum of active temperatures and precipitation at which the largest yields could be produced.

Baking properties of the variety ‘Arkhat’ are excellent; the variety has been added into the List of valuable wheat according to the decision of State Commission of RF for testing and protection of breeding achievements. The gene Y, concatenated with the gene of resistance to brown rust Lr 19 and in combination with the gene Lr 34, inherited from the variety ‘Isheevskaya’ gives to the variety resistance to brown rust and is responsible for yellow color of the flour. In 2014 the productivity of 5.18 t/ha was obtained on the Arsk plot of the Republic of Tatarstan. In the competitive testing the variety ‘Arkhat’ produced the maximum yield of 5.49 t/ha in 2009.

Winter soft wheat is a promising crop for growing in the Middle Urals. At present its cultivation is constantly increasing in the agricultural farms of the Sverdlov region. The amount of sowing areas ranges from 1.5 to 3 thousand hectares. The average productivity of winter wheat of the Sverdlov region was 1.45-2.21 t/ha during the last years. According to the productivity wheat yields coincided or slightly exceeded the productivity of winter rye. The range of varieties tolerant to unfavourable winter conditions of the Middle Urals is increasing. Among the varieties tested on the variety plots of 2014 and 2015 the cultivars ‘Bis’, ‘Italmas’ and ‘Poema’ showed the best winter resistance. They produced larger yields than the standard variety ‘Volzhskaya K’. The average productivity of the varieties during last three years was the largest one on the Bogdanovich variety test plot (5.1 t/ha). In the tests of Ural RIA there have been selected the varieties ‘Volzhskaya 3’, ‘Kazanskaya 560’, ‘Moskovskaya 59’ and ‘Albina’, which produce high yields of grain and possess high indexes of adaptive ability. The variety ‘Volzhskaya 3’ possesses the highest indexes of general adaptive ability (V_i =0,41) and stability (σ² =4.8 + S_gi =52.0), but a low level of plasticity (b_i=1,13). The variety ‘Kazanskaya 560’ possesses a high level of plasticity (b_i=1.0) and the largest breeding value of a genotype (СЦГi=13.91). The variety ‘Moskovskaya 59’ has got a high level of plasticity (b_i=1.03) and a large breeding value of a genotype (СЦГi=11.8). It has been determined that a careful choice of varieties with a compliance with cultivation technology will allow obtaining positive results if increase sowing areas for winter soft wheat on the Middle Urals.

The appraisement of adaptive ability of promising lines of soybean in the conditions of the Samara region In 2009-2014 in Samara RIA several promising lines and varieties of soybean were studied on grain productivity. the purpose of the research is to identify genotypes adapted to the conditions of Middle Povolzhie. The studied years differed in heat and moisture supply in the vegetation period of crops that allowed assessing the variety samples according to the parameters of adaptive ability. The adaptive ability has been valued according to well-known statistic parameters, calculated on grain productivity. The lines ‘05-117’, ‘05-137’, ‘S04124’, ‘12108’, ‘06-143’ and ‘LS4М’, developed by the Samara RIA and the Ershosky OSOZ, have been introduced into the trial. The varieties ‘Samer 1’, ‘Samer 2’ and ‘Samer 3’, included into the Register of Breeding Achievements were taken as standard ones. The conducted research determined a mixed reaction of the lines on agroclimatic conditions. During five years of testing the line ‘05-117’ produced the largest yields on average and exceeded the best standard variety ‘Samer 2’ on 6.0%. The assessment of the lines according to the maximum of grain productivity and its stable formation during the years and parameters of its adaptive ability gave the opportunity to find lines ‘05-137’, ‘12108’, ‘06-143’ and ‘05-117’ adapted to the conditions of the Middle Volga region. In the favourable climatic year the line ’05-117’ showed the best productivity of grain. Its testing in KFH IP “E.P. Tsirulev’ on the intensive background confirmed the responsiveness of the line on the factors of intensification (irrigation, fertilizing).

Due to a great change of climatic conditions in the Sverdlov region in the last decades, wheat breeding deals mainly with the development of middle early varieties. The assessment of breeding material is carried out on the crop rotation fields, which belong to the principal share of lands in the Sverdlov region and Perm Area. The breeding resulted in the growing of a new middle early variety ‘Ekaterina’ by the method of intraspecific hybridization between an early maturing mother form ‘Iren’ and a middle maturing variety ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’. Since 2013 the variety ‘Ekaterina’ has been in the State Varity Testing, since 2015 in the State Register of breeding achievements in Volga-Vyatka and West-Siberia regions. The average productivity of the variety in the competitive trial (2009-2014) was 4.5 t/ha that exceeded the standard (‘Gornouralskaya’) on 0.57 t/ha. Under favourable humidity the maximum productivity of the variety was 6.87 t/ha or on 1.13 t/ha more than of the standard variety. ‘Ekaterina’ is more advantageous than ‘Gornouralskaya’ in such traits as ‘1000-seed weight’, productivity of a head, protein amount per hectare and its energetic value, energetic efficiency of cultivation, gross increase of productivity a day per hectare during the periods ‘sprouting-wax maturity’ and ‘earing-wax maturity’, parameters of adaptive ability (general adaptive ability and breeding value of a genotype). In the Krasnoufimsk Breeding Center ‘Ekaterina’ exceeded the varieties ‘Gornouralskaya’. ‘Iren’, ‘Irgina’, ‘Novosibirskaya 15’ and ‘Svecha’ on 0.33-1.08 t/ha on the variety test plots of the Sverdlov region and Perm Area. In 2014 during the trial in SPK “Kolkhoz named after Sverdlov” (the Sverdlov region) a new variety produced 3.30 t/ha on 60 ha and exceeded the variety ‘Simbirtsit’ on 0.36 t/ha (12.2%). In OOO “Agrofirma Manchazhskaya” (14 ha) the variety exceeded ‘Iren’ on 0.40 t/ha (25.0%). In the same year in KFK “Pchela” (the Tyumen region) ‘Ekaterina’ produced 4.40 t/ha (on 10 ha), that exceeded ‘Iren’ on 0.30 t/ha (7.3%). The variety is practically stable to loose smut and it is more stable to root rot than the standard variety. Due to the general baking assessment the variety ‘Ekaterina’ slightly gives way to the variety ‘Gornouralskaya’.

The article deals with the information that treatment of middle early maize hybrid ‘Krasnodarsky 292 AMV’ by disinfectants and complex water soluble fertilizers TMTD, Maxima XL, Semafor and Tabu together with Gidromiks and Lignogumat of potassium improved productivity and Borogum was more efficient with Tabu. The economic analysis showed that the use of TMTD, Maxima XL, Semafor increased the norm of profitability on 17%, 19% and 12% respectively, and the use of Tabu coincided with the control. The seed treatment by the combination of Gidromiks with other variants increased profitability from 27% to 67%, with Lignogumat from 32% to 59%, the combination of Semafor with Borogum gave a significant increase of profitability on 37%, the combination Tabu with Borogum on 42%. The article presents the tree-year study of the effect of maize seed treatment by disinfectants TMTD (4 l/t), Maxima XL (1 l/t), Semafor (2.5 l/t) and Tabu (6 l/t), by the combination with Gidromiks 9200 g/t), Lignogumat (0.5 l/t) and Borogum (1 l/t). The study showed that both separate disinfectants and their combinations do not have a significant effect on the height of maize stem, but increases the area of leaf surface and photosynthetic potential of sowing in comparison with the control untreated seeds. There was an accumulation of dry aboveground weight in the variant with treated seeds, but the productivity of leaf photosynthesis prevailed in the variants with untreated seeds.

The work presents an analytical review of experimental data, obtained in RSAU-MAA after K.A. Timiryazev, Omsk SAU, Orenburg SAU, Penza SAA, Kostanay RIA in 2009-2015. There have been summarized the results of long-term researches of the effect of ‘Tsirkon’, ‘Epin-Extra’, ‘Tsitovit’ and ‘Siliplant’ on grain crops under various soil-climatic conditions of RF and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The prospects of application of a new organic-mineral fertilizer ‘EcoFus’ have been considered in the paper. The top-dressing of spring wheat in the tillering stage with ‘EcoFus’ (2 l/ha) produced the increase of its productivity on 16.8% (0.72 t/ha) and nature weight on 14-17 g/l in comparison with the control. Due to the efficiency of the fertilizers a scheme of their complex application has been suggested. The patented technology allows using the tax mixtures with a reduced amount of pesticides (on 20-30%) together with ‘Siliplant’ for seedbed treatment of seeds and in the tillering stage under the threat of lodging, or together with the mixture of ‘Epin-Extra’ and ‘EcoFus’ or ‘Tsitovit’ under excessive moisture and with the mixture of ‘Tsirkon’ and ‘Tsitovit’ in the tillering stage to increase the productivity of crops on 11-25% (0.15-0.7 t/ha), to reduce costs, to improve grain quality and ecologic safety of products. In particular, triple application of ‘Siliplant’ (0.06 l/t; 1.5 l/t) for seed treatment raised productivity of the barley variety ‘Omsky golozerny 1’ in the tillering and earing stages on 0.74 t/ha, increased net income on 5.48 th rubles and enlarged profitability on 39.2% in comparison with the control
