Selection for Barley Seed Quality Increase in Kazakhstan Environment

Selection for Barley Seed Quality Increase in Kazakhstan Environment

The aim of the research is to investigate collective samples of barley of various ecological-geographical origination, toselect donors with a high percentage of protein per grain, and to breed new varieties and hybrids with the use of various selection andgenetics methods. The amount of protein per grain was determined by the Kjeldahl method, while levels of starch were indicated by thepolarimetry method. The combinational capability of donors was evaluated with the use of top crossing interbreeding. Combinativemutability was evaluated under the external environment influence. An analysis of the current development and employment state ofvarious parental form searches to cultivate high-protein kinds of barley, methods of selection through molecule marker usage, methodsof hybridization, and biotechnical manipulation to achieve the desired result was conducted. Most suitable parental forms fromcollective materials were picked to acquire high protein per grain percentage kinds and hybrids, amongst them are Saule, Asem, Arna,Harmal, and Lignee-527 varieties. These donors are perspective varieties, that should be included in selective programs in Kazakhstan.
