SEED PRODUCTION IN YUGOSLAVIA - PRESENT SITUATION AND PROSPECTS

 

By

 

DORIĆ P., MIHALJEV, I., ĆIROVIĆ, M. i ČOBANOVIĆ M.

 

SUMMARY

 

The paper presents the agroecologic conditions for the production, processing and mar­keting of seeds of major field crops and forage plant species at domestic and foreign market as well as the state of processing plants, directions and possibility for their improvement.

Yugoslavia has perfect conditions for the productions of seeds of all field crops, forage and most of vegetable species. The construction of irrigation systems would improve high and stable yields of seed crops, seed quality as well as the yield of commercial crops. The paper also reviews needs for seed at domestic seed export and possibilities for the service propagation of the seeds of foreign creations for export.

ORGANIZATION AND UTILIZATION OF WHEAT GENE BANK

IN NOVI SAD, YUGOSLAVIA

 

DENČIĆ, S. i BOROJEVIĆ, S.

 

SUMMARY

 

The wheat gene bank of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad was established in 1939. Initially it consisted of 200-300 genotypes of domestic variety-popula­tions and several foreign varieties. The main purpose of the bank was to study the entries for major traits and to use them in breeding programs. Starting from 1965, the bank was organ­ized in three levels: Collection, Genetic Collection and Crossing block. Collection is grown annually and it includes varieties and lines from domestic breeding programs as well as geno­types acquired from abroad. Genetic Collection consists of groups of genotypes arranged either according to traits important for breeding or, where possible, according to genes. Crossing block includes selected genotypes which are used in hybridization for the develop­ment of new wheat varieties. The bank is exploited in two ways: as a source of genes for selection of parental pairs aiming at recombining desirable genes and for identification of genes for different traits and genetic, physiological and other studies of their effects.

RESULTS OF THE INSTITUTE OF FILED AND VEGETABLE CROPS IN

NOVI SAD, ON BREEDING WINTER WHEAT FOR DIFFERENT

PRODUCTION CONDITIONS

 

by

 

MIŠIĆ, S. BOROJEVIĆ, D. MIKIĆ, S. DENČIĆ, Z. JERKOVIĆ, R. JEVTIĆ and L. PANKOVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

The results achieved in breeding winter wheat at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad show that the genes responsible for all important Crops in Novi Sad show that the genes responsible for all important characters of wheat have been successfully com­bined. Varieties with grain yield potential ranging from 10-12 t/ha, very good to excellent technological quality with field resistance to leaf and stem rust (Puce, recondita tritici, Puce, graminis tritici) and resistance to Erysiphe graminis tritici, adapted to climatic and soil con­ditions of Yugoslavia, South and Central Europe were produced applying single, backcrossing, three way, successive and multiple crossing of genetically divergent parents, and plant selection according to the pedigree method. Up to 1993, the Yugoslav Commission for Varietal Approval has released 155 winter wheat varieties developed at the Novi Sad Insti­tute. For several years, Novi Sad varieties, first of all Sava (1970), later Partizanka (1973), Novosadska rana 2 (1975), Novosadska rana 1 (1975), Balkan (1979), Jugoslavia (1980), Zvezda (1982) and many others, have been sown on more than 70% of wheat area in Yugo­slavia (Table 1). These varieties displaced low yielding varieties from the area of Mediter­ranean and East-continental climate. Due to their biological plasticity and adaptability to different climatic and soil conditions as well as to the complex of positive characters, some of these varieties have spread in several countries of South and Central Europe (table 2). In Yugoslavia, old varieties have been changed with new Novi Sad varieties Lasta (1987), Rodna (1988), Evropa (1988), Francuska (1988), Danica (1990), Rana niska (1990), Pobeda (1990), Proteinka (1990), Evropa 90 (1990), Novosadska rana 5 (1991) and other varieties.

 

Key words: winter wheat varieties, gene combination and recombination, genetic potential for grain yield, indicators of technological quality, genes for resistance, to diseases lod­ging and low temperatures, breeding

HEIGHT REDUCING GENES AND THEIR EFFECT ON MORPHOLOGICAL UNIFORMITY IN WHEAT VARIETIES

 

By

 

PETROVIĆ, S

 

SUMMARY

 

There are two groups of height reducing (Rht) genes GAI and GAR. The presence of Rht genes is well known for a number of wheat varieties, bred in different countries. Also, the effect of these genes was studied most extensively.

The pleiotropic effect of GA I (insensitive) genes was detected in many wheat varieties. They affect agronomicaly most important characters in wheat, as well as, morphological uni­formity of the crop. This fact is of great importance in seed production and it is necessary to determine the presence of such genes in varieties widely grown in wheat production.

GENOTYPE DIFFERENTIATION METHOD ACCORDING TO RESISTANCE

TO PUCCINIA RECONDITA TRITICI AND ITS IMPORTANCE

IN BREEDING FOR THIS TRAIT

 

By

 

JERKOVIĆ Z., JEVTIĆ, R.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

The testing used for differentiation of the material according to reaction (infection) type has proved to be insufficient and non-adequate with respect to the present state according to difference in resistance of the existing material. Additionally, these testing prevent conscious increasing of probability for the production of durable resistant genotypes for the conditions of our country. The application of the results achieved by utilizing new methods permits to use more than one completely resistant parent when breeding new wheat genotypes (lines and varieties) resistant to Puccinia recondita tritici.

THE ANALYSIS OF GENETIC UNIFORMITY OF WHEAT SEED

 

By

 

LJILJANA VAPA and DRAGANA RADOVIC

 

SUMMARY

 

Genetic variability of alleles of the Glu-1 locus and seed uniformity of 41 wheat cultivars were analysed by using the method of sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrilamide gel electro-phoresis (SDS-PAGE). On the basis of the allelic variability of the Glu-1 locus, the analysed cultivars may be classified into 9 groups. The highest polymorphism was recorded in the Glu-Bl locus, and 9.8% cultivars were found to be heterogeneous.

THE INHERITANCE AND VARIABILITY OF YIELD COMPONENTS IN WHEAT

 

by

 

M. DIMITRUEVIĆ, MARIJA KRALJEVIĆ-BALALIĆ and SOFIJA PETROVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

The mode of inheritance and variability of a number of spikelets per spike and a number of kernels per spike of wheat were analyzed in this study. Five phenotypes and their F] hybrids were evaluated in diallel crosses. The mode of inheritance in the fi depended on the cross combination. Dominance and intermediacy were obtained for the number of spikelets per spike and dominance, intermediacy and heterosis for the number of kernels per spike. Screen­ing all cross combinations the additive gene action was more important component of genetic variance for the number of spikelets per spike. On the contrary, dominance prevailed for the number of kernels per spike.

THE EFFECTS OF SEED SIZE AND SEED PROTEIN CONTENT ON DRY MATTER OF WHEAT SEEDLINGS

 

By

 

LOMOVIĆ, S., DOKIĆ, D., SABOVLJEVIĆ, R. and JELIĆ, M.

 

SUMMARY

 

Investigations were conducted under the greenhouse conditions. The plants were planted in the pots with a sterile quartz sand. The plants were harvested at the third leaf stage. 1000 kernel weight and seed protein quantity were positively correlated with dry matter yield of winter wheat seedlings. The highest yield of dry matter was recorded for a very large seed fraction. Considerable differences in dry matter of wheat seedlings were found among ex­amined genotypes. The highest yield of dry matter had cv. Skopljanka and Zadruga, and the lowest one had cv. S. Zlatna and Beogradanka. No differences in dry matter were found over studied years.

THE RESULTS ON APPLICATION OF INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION IN SUNFLOWER BREEDING

 

By

 

JOVANKA ATLAGIĆ, D. ŠKORIĆ, B. DOZET i R. MARINKOVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

 

The collection of wild sunflower species (Helianthus L.) from the Department of Oil Crops in Novi Sad contains 12 annual and 29 perennial species in total over 1000 collection numbers. Interspecific hybridization became a very appropriate method for sunflower breed­ing. Due to the rich variability of the genus, by utilizing classic methods of hybridization, tissue culture methods "in vitro" and cytogenetic methods, we successfully applied 10 annual and 14 perennial species in sunflower breeding with the following purpose:

1.  Breeding for resistance to pathogens causing most frequent sunflower diseases

2.  Development of new sources of cytoplasmic male sterility and genes for restoration of fertility

3.  Development of new sunflower ideotypes.

By

 

J. JOKSIMOVIĆ, R. MARINKOVIĆ, M. MIHALJČEVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

The aim of the study of basic quantitative-genetic parameters for number of flowers and for percentage of fertilization in sunflower (H. annuus L.) is the evaluation of combining properties of inbred lines and fi hybrids, as well as the interdependence of the examined properties. Experimental material included eight genetically divergent inbred lines and fifteen F1 hybrids of sunflower. Analysis of combining properties was done by the method: line x tester (Singh & Choudary, 1976). The information was obtained on the significance of dif­ferences between variations. Inbred lines and F1 hybrid with good and poor general and specific combining abilities for examined properties were defined.

EFFECT OF SEED CATEGORY ON YIELD OF SOYBEAN

 

by

 

M. RAJIČIĆ, MILICA HRUSTIĆ and Đ. JOCKOVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

 

The effect of three seed categories (E - elite, O - original and I - first reproduction) on the yield performance of six soybean varieties (NS-6, Kolubara, NS-16, NS-9, Corsoy and NS-21) was studied in a two-year field trial (1991-1992).

Significant differences in yield level were observed between the test years. NS-21, a late variety, was the best performer. Its average yield (2296 kg/ha) was significantly higher than those of NS-6 and Corsoy but on the level of the other varieties. Seed category was not found to affect soybean yield.

EFFECTS OF SEED SHAPE ON SOME IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF PLANTING VALUES IN MAIZE HYBRID

 

by

 

M MIRIĆ, RADMILA POPOVIĆ, LANA ĐUKANOVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

A seed planting is a set of numerous traits among which seed shape has an important role, especially in maize, as its seed has higher divergence than seed of other field plants. The effects of two basic seed fractions (round and flat) of a late maturity ZP hybrids on germination viability and seedling emergence was studied. In order to study this effect seed was hand and mechanically dried and calibrated for all three production, i. e. processing locations.

Based on obtained results the following conclusions could be drawn:

-  high-tech processing results in aggravation of natural planting traits of maize seed, especially in round fractions as their embryo is damaged due to inappropriate position;

-   seed planting traits on the whole are better expressed through germination viability than through the total germination, and

-   seed viability of flat fractions and from hand processing is much higher than it is of round fractions and from mechanical processing.

EFFECTS OF SUNFLONILUREA HERBICIDES ON MAIZE INBRED LINES

 

 

LIDIJA STEFANOVIĆ, LJILJANA ZARIĆ, B. KEREČKI i KSENIJA MIRKOVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

 

The effect of primisulfuron-metil (Tell 75 WG) was studied in the field during 1992, with single (40 g/ha) and split applications (20+20 g/ha) on 15 maize inbred lines of different FAO maturity groups. Results are expressed as % with respect to the untreated control. Her­bicide split application caused generally stimulatory effect on biomass of above ground parts of inbreds belonging to early and medium maturity groups. Herbicide split application (Tell 20+20) caused, generally stimulatory effect on biomass of above ground parts in inbreds belonging to early and medium early maturity group in comparison to the control. A single application of primisulfuron-metil had a phytotoxic effect (Tell 40) on inbreds of early ma­turity group, concerning investigated parameters.

Results showed an individual response of investigated inbreds to applied herbicide (early maturity group).

EFFECT OF IRRIGATION ON YIELD OF SEED MAIZE

 

By

 

S. DRAGOVIĆ, M. ĆIROVIĆ

 

SUMMARY

 

The critical periods, with respect to water deficiency in soil, occur from the beginning of silking to the period of seed formation. However, the period of silking is most susceptible because, under the conditions of water stress, silking is delayed and the silking period does not correspond with the period of tasselling and pollen maturation. Under such conditions, the pollination is poor and yield decreases significantly.

Effect of irrigation on the yield of seed depends on the amount and distribution of rainfall in the growing period, climatic and soil conditions and hybrid type. Most of the irrigated maize hybrids may achieve the yield of 5 to 7 t·ha-1 , while in dry years, nonirrigated hybrids achieve the yield of 1 to 1.5 t·ha-1 . Under the conditions of extreme drought, the yield lower than 1 t·ha-1 is achieved most usually.

THE EFFECT OF SEED WEIGHT ANDTHE SEED PROTEIN CONTENT ON THE DYNAMICS ANDTOTAL IMBIBITION

 

By

 

LOMOVIĆ, S., ĐOKIĆ, D., SABOVLJEVIĆ, R., JELIĆ M. i OGNJANOVIĆ R.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

 

The effect of the seed weight protein content on the dynamics and total imbibitions was demonstrated. Dymanics and total of seed imbibitions determined by measurement of 100 kernels weight before and after imbibitions. Determination of seed imbibitions was made in the chamber for estimation of seed germination. Temperature was 20°C. The measurement of imbibed seed was made at every six hours. Dynamics and total imbibitions showed as percent per seed weight. The seed was divided into the four groups by size: very large > 2.8 mm, medium large > 2.5 mm and small > 2.2 mm. The seed nitrogen content was determined by Kjedahl method, and the seed protein content was determined by multiplicating of the nitro­gen content with coefficient 5.7. The seed weight and the seed protein quantity were nega­tively correlated with total imbibitions. The rate of imbibitions was the most intensive at the first six hours of imbibitions for all seed sizes and cultivars. The seed imbibitions decreased with increasing of seed size.

By

 

J. ČERVENSKI, D. GVOZDENOVIĆ, A. TAKAČ 1

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Cabbage is important vegetable because of its nutritive value and availability either as fresh or biologically processed all year round. An experiment was organized according to a prescribed method at the experiment fields of the Institute of Field and Vegetable crops in 1992. The study included the following morphologic characters: plant height (height of stem and head), head index and head yield. Three varieties and five hybrids were studied. Domes­tic variety Futoski was used as standard. All varieties were considerably higher that the stand­ard and have flat round to round head shape. The most yielding variety was Futoski (49,5 t/ha).

INTERRELATIONSHIP OF THE CHARACTERISTIC OF FRUIT AND YIELD IN TOMATO HYBRIDS

 

By

 

A. TAKAČ, Đ. GVOZDENOVIĆ, JELICA GVOZDENOVIĆ-VARGA and DUŠANKA BUGARSKI

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Tomato fruit is a favorite vegetable of all social layers, because of attractive appearance, pleasant refreshing taste and high biological value.

In this paper, the results have been presented of eleven hybrids of tomatoes, three of which being Indian, four Danish, one Dutch and three Yugoslav. Besides the yield, dry matter percentage, number of chambers per fruit, number of fruits per plant and average weight of fruit have been analyzed.

The majority of hybrids investigated had about 5 per cent of dry matter. Higher dry matter content was in Astor with 5.8 and Mi-13 with 6.1 per cent, respectively.

Number of chambers is a variety characteristic and it ranges from 2.08 to 6.18. The hy­brids were differing in the average weight of fruit and that was ranging from 60-181 g.

Between the number of chambers and average weight of fruit there is positive correlation of r = 0.714. Number of fruits per plant is characteristic of variety, where the hybrids with large fruits have smaller number of fruits and those with small fruits have considerably larger number of fruits. It was shown by the correlation coefficient of r = -0.787.

Between the number of fruits and number of chambers there is a negative correlation of
r = -0.596. Average weight of fruit and number of chambers are in positive correlation with yield, while between number of fruits per plant and yield a negative correlation of r = -0.167 has been found.

The influence of different nitrogen quantity (0, 50, 100, 150 kg N/ha) on seed vigor was investigated in seven genetically different winter wheat varieties by different vigour tests (accelerated aging test, controlled deterioration test, complex stress vigour test, water stress, intensity growth test, Hiltner test and cold test) compared with laboratory and field germi­nation during three years of investigation (1990-1992). There was no significant influence of applied nitrogen quantity on seed vigour. The highest vigour values were obtained with control variant (No), and the lowest ones with quantity of 100 kg N/ha. Between the quantities of 50 and 150 kg of N/ha there were no statistically significant differences. The highest vigour values were determined by laboratory germination tests, while cold test proved to be the most reliable for predicting the seed behavior in the field.

SPECIFICITY OF SPRING WHEAT VARIETIES DEDICATED TO PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY SAFE FOOD

 

By

 

RONČEVIĆ, P.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Among the numerous methods in healthy food production, the cultivation of wheat in non-polluted regions, is one of them. In our case, such regions, which are free of soil, water and air pollution are found at the altitudes above 600 m on so called ,,virgin soils".

Institute for Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, has started the breeding programe for spring wheat’s suitable for the mountain regions. About 20 spring wheats have already been released by the Federal Commission for Varietal Approval. Main specificity of most of these varieties is in the degree of vernalisation, earliness and resistance to different pathogens.

The yield achieved in the mountain regions, between 3 and 5 t/ha, confirm that it is possible to achieve economy in the production of organic food.

Presently, the best spring wheats developed in Novi Sad are Venera and Kraljica. How­ever, the current breeding program involves new lines (prospective varieties) which outclass the two mentioned commercial varieties in a number of characteristics.

BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS USED FOR IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL OF GENETIC PURITY OF SEED

 

By

 

MARIJA ZLOKOLICA, MIRJANA MILOŠEVIĆ, JARMILA RAJNPREHT

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Biochemical markers such as isozymes may be used for identification andgenetic control of seeds. Isozymes as direct product of genes are used as genetic markers for estimation of genetic characteristics of inbred lines and corn hybrids. Isozymes of 10 enzymic systems, which are controlled by 19 genes were studied. The aim of these investigations was the de­termination of loci which can be used with confidence for analyses of self-pollination or other type of "contamination" in hybrids. As it can be seen from the obtained results, the estima­tion of genetic purity of lines and corn hybrids can be given on the basis of several gene markers. The laboratory analyses of genetic purity as an addition to control of seed production improved the seed quality of corn hybrids and better lines.

THE EFFECT OF SEED WEIGHT AND PROTEIN CONTENT ON ENERGY OF GERMINATION AND TOTAL GERMINATION OF WINTER WHEAT

 

by

 

LOMOVIĆ, S., ĐOKIĆ, D., SABOVLJEVIĆ, R. and DRAGANA ĆIRIĆ

 

 

SUMMARY

 

The effect of the seed size and the seed protein content on the energy of germination and total germination of eight winter wheat genotypes was demonstrated. The trial was conducted in the seed laboratory in Kragujevac. The seed protein content positively correlated with energy and total germination. High positive correlation between the protein content and en­ergy and total germination of small seed size was found.

 

 

Key words: seed size, protein content, energy of germination, total germination, winter wheat.

SOYBEAN PRODUCTION IN VOJVODINA IN THE PERIOD 1983-1992

 

By

 

MILICA HRUSTIĆ, Đ. JOCKOVIĆ, J. LATINOVIĆ, M. RAJIČIĆ

 

 

SUMMARY

 

 

Variability in soybean yield and acreage causes uncertain seed production that occasion­ally results in shortage of commercial seed just about sowing - time. For this reason there was a dilemma about importation of seed material. Aspiration of this study was to look through possibilities to ensure sufficient seed quantity for home - production from the aspect of quantity as well as the aspect of assortment and seed quality. On the basis of ten - year data, it could be concluded that, beside of the instability in soybean acreage and necessity of seed, there are possibilities for production of enough amounts of commercial seed for our needs. Under conditions of unequal consumption, it is easier to solve the problem of seed surplus than to solve the lack of seed by importation.

CONDUCTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF POPCORN AND SUGARY MAIZE

SEEDS

 

By

 

RATKOVIĆ, S., PAJIĆ ZORICA

 

 

SUMMARY

 

The application of a modified conductometric method ASA-610 for measurement of electrical conductivity of the exudate from seeds of 4 popcorn hybrids (P608, Ag 7566, TC 610k, SC 611k) and 2 lines (ZPL15su, ZPLl/12su) and 1 sugary hybrid (SC 404su) was shown. The obtained differences in the conductometric curves for these two types of maize were interpreted as due to differences in endosperm hardness and pericarp thickness, i. e. due to different of leachate during the imbibition. It was suggested that the method could be used for identification of maize genotypes.

MECHANIZED PICKING OF SEED MAIZE BY SELF-PROPELLED

PICKER HUSKER “BOURGOIN GX-406-A”

 

By

 

DUMANOVIĆ, Z., MIŠOVIĆ, M.M., and SUKOVIĆ, I.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of self-propelled picker-husker operations in seed maize picking. The investigations were conducted in four locations during 1992. Grain moisture content ranged from 14.2 to 29.2%, what was lower than the optimum moisture for mechanized picking of seed maize.

Operational regime of the picker was determined by the request for the maximum husk­ing realized in the majority of hybrids (husking was 81-98%). Poor husking was observed in the hybrid ZP-119, due to difficult husking of this hybrid.

Losses were higher and amounted to 2.8-7.4%, except in the hybrid ZP-1 19 (10.9%), due to easily broken ears.

 

Keywords: Seed maize, mechanized picking, losses, husking quality
