Rye translocations in the varieties of winter common wheat

Twenty winter common wheat varieties from the competitive testing of Belgorod State Research Institute of Agriculture were studied with respect to the storage protein loci. Special attention was given to two varieties, Synthetic and Bogdanka, with rye chromatin material, which were also studied by cytogenetic analysis. Among the studied varieties, rye material marked by the gliadin loci was identified in Synthetic, Kryzhinka, and Bogdanka varieties. Synthetic and Kryzhinka varieties have 1BL/1RS rye translocation, and Bogdanka variety carries 1AL/1RS translocation. These data were confirmed cytologically. Alleles at the Gli-1 (= Gld ) loci, which control synthesis of gliadins, and alleles at the Glu-1 loci, which control synthesis of HMW glutenin subunits, were identified in 20 varieties. Genealogy of Bogdanka, the first winter common wheat variety of Russian breeding, with 1AL/1RS translocation was clarified.
