ECOLOGICAL AND GENETIC ASPECTS AND RESULTS OF BREEDING OF COMMON MILLET FOR COARSE GRAIN
2022
Tikhonov, N.P. | Tikhonova, T.V.
Breeding, genetic and ecological aspects of breeding of common millet for grain coarseness are briefly analyzed. The fragmentary results of the comparative study of 1000 grains weight (hereinafter referred to as TGW) in different varieties of millet bred by Research Institutions of Russia under the conditions of Saratov are presented. The hybrid material shows the features of recombination processes during the formation of grain size in specific hybrid combinations through TGW of individual millet plants selected from them. The conclusion about the importance of observing the "breeding optimum" in terms of grain size when creating new varieties with the prospect of their cultivation in the corresponding millet sowing region was made.
