Abstract
Cell selection is actively used to create genotypes of grain crops resistant to edaphic stressors. It is necessary to evaluate the genotypes selected in vitro under in vivo conditions to confirm the genetic stability of the target trait. To increase the yield of regenerated genotypes, it is possible to use growth regulators with adaptogenic and protective effects. In the conditions of a vegetation experiment, a comparative analysis of the productive traits of ‘Boyarin’ barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar and its regenerated R1-generation lines was carried out on soil backgrounds with drought (рНКCl – 6.5; artificially created water deficit), aluminum toxicity (рНКCl – 4.8; Al – 13 mg/kg) and cadmium (рНКCl – 4.7; Cd – 6.4 mg/kg), also without stress (control). The efficiency of barley treatment with salicylic acid (SA) (2 mM/dm3) as a stress protector under unfavorable soil conditions was assessed. The contribution of factors to the formation of barley yield was determined: soil background – 30.4 %, genotypic features – 8.1 %, treatment with salicylic acid – 0.7 %. Without SA treatment, the highest yield (130 g/m2) under stressful (drought) conditions was shown by regenerants obtained on selective media in vitro with water deficiency – RA-PEG. The stressprotective effect of SA was revealed against the background of cadmium in the regenerants RA-Cd and RA-PEG, the yield excess was more than twice over the original cultivar, amounting to 59 and 47 g/m2, and in the absence of stress factors – in the regenerants RA-Al and RA-PEG by 29 and 24 g/m2 , respectively. The regenerated line RA-PEG is recommended for use in breeding programs to create drought-resistant genotypes.
