Wheat gene pool of Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

A botanical and ecological study of locally collected material showed that wheat landraces are represented in a very wide variety of ecological and morphological forms scattered in different areas of Kyrgyzstan. In total, 60 subspecies of spring wheat belonging to 6 species are found in Kyrgyzstan. There are several ecological groups on the territory of Kyrgyzstan. The most common ecotypes, rigidum and subrigidum, are related to Iranian-Asian subspecies. At present, about 80 varieties of the Kyrgyz wheat of Kazakh breeding and breeding of the CIS countries are successfully passing the state variety test. On the basis of analyses of productivity and quality of winter and spring wheat, the following varieties were identified: Dordoi 16, Mereke 70, Kiyal (st), Suleiman, Kasiet, and Araket. Up to 35 varieties of winter soft wheat and up to 12 varieties of spring soft wheat bred domestically and abroad are tested annually and recommended for cultivation in different areas of Kyrgyzstan.
