Identification of Wx genotypes in the winter wheat varieties

Cytology and Genetics 2007, v 41, number 6, 11-17

Allele characteristics of Wx – genes have been detected by using PCR-analysis with allele specific primers for wheat varieties that are registered in the State Catalogue of Plant Varieties in 2006. The varieties with mutant Wx-genes were not identified among the modern winter wheat varieties. The variation of size and staining intensity by KI-I₂ of starch granules in the tested varieties has been detected.
