Prodanyk A. The development of genetic sources of group race-specific smut resistance of millet [Sorosporium destruens (Schlecht) Yanki]

Subject of research - details of recurrence and inheritance of race-specific smut resistance of millet. The aim - the experimental development of genetic sources of millet resistance simultaneously to various smut agent races groups that combine the immunity with other economic characters. The research methods are field, immune-hybridological analysis,dispersion one. New details of millet race-specific smut affection resistance trait inheritance are revealed, the degree of virulence and smut pathotype aggressivity level is determined, as well as the genetic sources of group smut resistance of millet in the combination with other economic characters as a parent material for millet breeding are experimentally developed. The millet varieties of new generation Novokyivske-01 and Omriyane are developed and entered in the Plant Variety Registry of Ukraine. The breeding material is developed. It is used in the breeding work of the NRC "Institute of Agriculture of the NAAS" and is registered at the National Centre of Genetic Plant Resources of Ukraine. The field of application - the breeding research institutions, the agricultural production.
