Abstract

In order to determine a supposed effect of different sources of cytoplasm inducing male sterility on the agronomic performance of rye hybrids, 3 three-way hybrids (genotypes), each in 4 cytoplasmic versions, were compared in field trials. Four sources of male sterility-inducing cytoplasm: cms-P, cms-R, cms-S and cms-C were used in the study. A two-factor split-plot field experiment was conducted in 6 environments (3 years, 2 locations). The sources of male sterility-inducing cytoplasm used in this study did not cause changes in the agronomic performance of hybrids. All of the cytoplasmic versions of hybrids, independently on genotype, resembled closely each other in respect of grain yield level, grain quality parameters and majority of the other evaluated agronomic traits. Although the hybrids with cms-P cytoplasm were shorter in height, had lower seed set per spike and produced grain having higher test weight in comparison to hybrids with cms-R, cms-S, and cms-C cytoplasm, the differences were small enough to consider them practically unimportant. The results showed that the use of cms-R, cms-S, cms-C or other similar source of male sterility-inducing cytoplasm, genetically different from Pampa (cms-P), for hybrid rye breeding purposes should not decrease an economic value of hybrids produced.
