Abstract

Nine rye cultivars, two strains and their progeny S1, S2 obtained after mass selection directed towards increased tolerance to N deficit were used in the study. The selection performed in hydroponic cultures was based on the morphological traits of 7-day seedlings developed for ten days on the medium containing 10.506 mg N/dm3. The control constituted seedlings grown on the Hoagland medium (168.0 mg N/dm3). Each rye population was represented 500 seedlings. The 35–37% of well-developed seedlings considered as tolerant to N deficit, were planted on the plots in the experimental fields. After sib-crossing the collected seeds constituted the initial material for the next cycle of mass selection. Initial material (S0) and S1, S2 populations were compared for their growth characteristics and electrophoretic patterns of storage proteins obtained by SDS-PAGE method. The results showed that differences in seedling height and root length of the parents and progeny were significant already after the first selection cycle. In the second further cycle a continuous lowering of mean values of the mentioned seedling traits and increasing of root number was observed. Among 12 rye populations produced by selection for tolerance to N deficit in the medium the following genotypes deserve special attention: Amilo, Arant, Adar, Dańkowskie Złote, Motto and SMH 92. They represent a valuable source material of desirable genes. Electrophoretic analyses of secalin patterns showed differences between rye genotypes from S1 and S2 generations in comparison with the initial genotypes. Similarity index between analyzed cultivars and S1 generation ranged from 79.3 to 97.4%, S1 and S2 from 90.3 to 99.6% and between cultivars and S2 from 81.1 to 99.4%.
