Genetic and resistance studies were carried out on alloplasmic and backcross lines of spring soft wheat cultivars Leningradka and Saratovskaya-29. As a result of interspecific crossings some lines and hybrids exhibited cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). Restorers of fertility and resistance to infections were also determined. The importance of use of alloplasmic lines for practical wheat breeding and for genetic studies is discussed.
The resistance to osmotic and salt stress 9 alloplasmatic wheat lines derived from crosses of varieties Mironovskaya 808 with T. dicoccum Shuebl. was analyzed. The ability of seedlings to transfer a substantial water deficit, the abil ity to accumulate biomass, changes in growth parameters and water content in leaves and roots under stress were identified. High stability of the studied lines was demonstrated.
Abstract:Complex research is devoted to basic non-specific stress-reactions caused by abiotic factors such as drought and salinity in vivo and in vitro. A comparative physiological, biochemical and cytogenetic analysis was performed and showed the peculiarities of growth and viability on various (cellular, tissular, organismic) levels of plants structural arrangement at stress conditions. Determined the parameters of the growth, ion balance, the content of free proline, superoxide dismutase activity and conducted the cytological studies. The commonness of cytological reactions of plant cells to abiotic stress was revealed. The considerable positive correlation relationships between growth of callus biomass and increases of primary roots number under abiotic stressess, between growth of callus biomass and capacity for survival of seedlings under osmotic stress were registered. Such correlation tells about comparability of stress tolerance valuation at different levels of plants structural arrangement. The considerable negative correlation between K + /Na + ions relations and percent increase of free proline in calluses were showed. Physiological and biochemical indicators of abiotic stresses impact on plants cells and tissues, such as SOD activity and K + /Na + ions correlation were noted. These indicators are effective as metabolic markers in the course of testing and selection of stress-resistant cereals in vivo and in vitro.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
