Rudnyk O. Features of inheriting and variability of indications characters of proso millet plants, their application in breeding and testing of varieties on patentability

Features of the recurrence and аn inheritance of the important distinctive characters of millet. The development of the methods for testing of millet varieties on patentability. Methods of researches: genetic-immunological analysis, biometric, measuring, visual in field and laboratory investigations, and the methods of the dispersion and correlation analyses. The scientific conceptions about features of inheritance of colouring, size and form of caryopses and resistance to separate smut races of millet are essentially extended. It is 5 new оligogenes, which cause a various degree of the recurrence of these traits. The features of their action and interaction, availability and the degree of coupling with genes of the control of other characters are established. The new integral measuring parameters of traits of size and form of caryopsis with the help of constructed new epidioscopic device "DDCGM-JR" are deloped. The features of variability and the recurrence of distinctive morphological characters ofplants including the resistance to 6 smut races are revealed. The varieties - standard of specific connection of the distinctive characters are determined. The methods for testing of millet varieties on patentability are developed. 15 genetic sources of resistance to widespread smut races with the connection of lodging resistance and the elements of the structure of increased productivity are selected and the new variety Novokievskoy 01 is created. The results of researches are introduced into breeding works of the Institute of Agriculture the UААS, the Institute Plant Growing the UААS, the Veselopodolsk EBS of the Institute of Sugar Beet Graving of the UААS, the methods of testing of millet varieties on patentability is adopted by the State Commission of Ukraine for Testing and Protection of Plant Varieties for practical use. The variety of millet Novokievskoy 01 is included in the State Strain Testing in a 2001. The field of application is breeding practice, the state strain testing, agricultural production.
