Hybrid necrosis determined by two dominant genes Ne1 and Ne2. The
wheat varieties may be divided into non-carriers and carriers either
one, or other necrosis gene. Obviously, that the frequent use of
certain carriers-varieties as parents in crosses has promoted the
distribution of the necrosis genes. This became an important problem
for practical plant breeding. The investigation of the authors showed
that any variety of winter and spring wheat of Kazakhstan, which have
been extensively used in crosses are heterogenic carriers of Ne2 gene.
Using heterogeneity, it is possible from variety-carriers of dominant
genes to secure lines deprived of these genes and to frame varieties
free from them. The forced method was used for crosses 10-30 ears
marked by labels of plants every of heterogenic variety to the Grecum
476 - donor Ne1 gene. Among F1 hybrids were a perfect vitality,
sublethal and full lethal. The lines of variety in F1 which absent a
necrosis were selected. The breeding of this lines are utilized for
developing non-carrier of the variety.
