Study and use of genetic potential of lupin for creation of efficient initial selection material and high-yielding varieties

Abstract

The purpose. To study and use genetic potential of lupin in selection operation with the purpose to create new high-yielding varieties. Methods. Field - for phenological observations and biometric measurements; laboratory — for assessment of productivity of the studied material. Results. Collection samples are studied of gene pool of yellow, white and angustifoliate lupin of different ecological-geographical parentage by attributes of duration of interphase periods «sprouts-blooming», «blooming-ripening» and whole vegetation, productivity and resistance to fusarial wilt on infection background. Conclusions. Sources and donors with attributes of earliness, high productivity and resistance to fusarial wilt are selected. Their use in selection made it possible to create new promising varieties of yellow lupin Zolotyi Kupol and angustifoliate lupin Locomotive.
