Inheritance of dwarfism trait by winter wheat mutants induced in the Chornobyl NPP exclusion zone
Ruslan Yakymchuk
Abstract:Background. The development of short-stem cultivars is an effective way to increase the productivity of winter wheat grown under the intensive cultivation technology. Dwarf mutants, induced in the exclusion zone of ChNPP, can preserve a productive potential of an initial cultivar and be of a breeding value. The knowledge of the inheritance regularities of stem length by dwarf winter wheat mutants makes it possible to choose the pairs for crossing better and predict a final result in hybrid generations earlie… Show more
