On the results of genetic studies in rye

Abstract

The frlicle comprises a review of data from the literature its well as the results of saidies in rye genetics performed at the Department of Genetics of Leningrad University.

Over 15 genes are discovered which control anthocyanins in plant and aleurone of a seed. waxy bloom, spring or winter type of growth, branched type of ear, dwarfness, liguleless condition, pubescence of outer glumes and chlorophyll deficiencies.
