Abstract
Three accessions of diploid wheat Triticum monococcum var. monococcum (AmAm) evaluated in respect of response of spikes to sprouting showed a markedly high values of sprouting resistance indices (number of sprouted kernels/spike, Hagbergs’ Falling Number). The genome of T monococcum var. monococcum (f. macedonicum Papag.) was incorporated into two triticale strains representing high and moderately level of susceptibility to sprouting. The appropriate two sets of introgressive triticale/T. monococcum lines were analysed in respect of Variation of mature spikes sprouting (SR) and Falling Number (FN) values. The results showed different manner of inheritance of both characters. Full expression of Triticum monococcum genetic material responsible for resistance of mature spikes to sprouting was found and it was independent on hexaploid triticale recipient parent. In opposite to this, FN values higher than 200 sec. were originated on the basis of specific combination property of Triticum monococcum and triticale genes.
