[Inheritance of awn absence in tetraploid wheat species]. / Nasledovanie bezostosti u tetraploidnykh vidov pshenits.

Awn absence was shown to be inherited as a dominant character in the tetraploid wheat species Triticum dicoccum (Schrank) Schuebl. and T. durum Desf. but as a recessive one in T. aethiopicum Jakubz. The monogenic control of the character was demonstrated for all studied species. In accessions of emmer and durum wheat, the character is controlled by the dominant gene B1, located on chromosome 5A, and in Ethiopian wheat, by a recessive gene, which we designated as awn. The recessive awn gene was localized on chromosome 3B of T. aethiopicum with the use of D-genome disomic substitution lines of cultivar Langdon.

[Study of a collection of Triticum spelta L. wheat species using gliadin polymorphism]. / Issledovanie kollektsii vida pshenitsy Triticum spelta L. po polimorfizmu gliadinov.

Using gliadins, endosperm storage proteins of kernels, as markers, the genetic diversity of 170 samples from the Triticum spelta L. collection of the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry was studied. High intraspecific polymorphism of the gliadin electrophoretic patterns was revealed. On the basis of similarity of the gliadin electrophoretic patterns, groups of samples were isolated, and the genetic structurization of the collection was performed.
