Project deals with increase and utilization of genetic diversity to secure stability and quality of production in winter wheat and spring barley, which are important crops in Czech agriculture. Genetic resources of the both crops will be gathered and evaluated to choose and verify donors of valuable characters for utilization in breeding, research and practice. We expect to gain new knowledge on genetic diversity of both crops and on better genetic resources management. In the first phase of the project we will assemble promising genetic resources that prove resistance to stresses, grain quality and other economically important characters. We will select outstanding accessions among a broad set of genetic resources using results of preliminary evaluation as well as by means of DNA and protein markers. Selected accessions will be included in follow –up experiments. We have based the project design on three-year field experiments in two locations laboratory tests and testing of pre-selected geno (en)
Zhodnotit genetické zdroje pšenice a ječmene, vybrat a ověřit donory cenných znaků pro využití ve šlechtění, aplikovaném výzkumu a praxi. Získat nové poznatky o genetické diversitě, zefektivnit využívání zdrojů a rozšířit mezinárodní spolupráci.
Bylo provedeno podrobné zhodnocení genetických zdrojů, zejména výběr a ověření donorů hospodářsky významných znaků a využití nové genetické diversity pro konkrétní šlechtitelské cíle. (cs)
A detailed evaluation of genetic sources was carried out, in particular the selection and testing of donors with economically significant characteristic and new genetic diversity was employed for specific breeding objectives. (en)
