Analysis of spring bread wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.) using microsatellite markers

Abstract

The genetic polymorphism of 62 genotypes of spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) of different ecological and geographical origin has been studied for 13 microsatellite loci using SSR-markers. A cluster analysis has revealed samples for use in hybridization that are most genetically distant from the varieties of selection in Primorsky krai. Lines 161 and 168, which combine the resistance to spike and grain fusarium with a high productivity, were developed with the involvement of the selected varieties, Long 98-4081 (China) and Primorskaya 39 (Russia, Primorsky krai).
