Sprouting Resistance and Falling Number Values in Introgressive Triticale/T. Monococcum Lines

The aim of this work was to evaluate how the Falling Number (FN) in introgressive triticale lines is influenced by introduced Triticum monococcum genes responsive for mature spikes sprouting resistance (SR). These lines were developed in two independent series (A and B) by incorporating of diploid wheat (T. monococcum) genes in two different strains of hexaploid triticale (LT 176/10 and LT 522/6) using the synthetic allotetraploid T. monococcum/Secale cereale (AmAmRR) as a bridging form. In three consecutive vegetation seasons the mature spikes response to artificial wetting was tested to assess SR. FN was evaluated in full milling of seeds to characterize the level of starch-protein matrix damage in 57 introgressive triticale lines. The obtained results showed twofold higher coefficients of variation of the SR than FN. SR-FN correlation was generally significant in a B-series of lines and statistically insignificant in an A-series showing dependence on the triticale recipient parent and year. In opposite to SR, in both series there was not a line having FN comparable with that of diploid wheat parent. This demonstrates that genetic background of the FN is more complicated in relation to inheritance of SR.
