Breeding Practices and Achievements of Drought-resistant High-quality Winter Wheat Varieties in the Longjian Series
In order to continuously promote the breeding and application of winter wheat varieties in cold and arid areas,taking the Longjian series of winter wheat varieties as an example,the breeding goals,genetic background sources,main methods and measures,progress in variety improvement and promotion and application of winter wheat in the Longdong area were reviewed and discussed.It was proposed that the future winter wheat breeding work should focus on drought resistance and high quality,while taking into account of the breeding goals such as resistance to stripe rust and powdery mildew.The progeny selection method combining assisted selection and multi-ecological identification methods should be used to maintain the advantages of cold resistance,drought resistance and resistance to stripe rust.At the same time,the screening of short-stalked high-yield varieties and powdery mildew-resistant varieties should be strengthened to accelerate the promotion and application of high-quality wheat in cold and arid areas.
