Resistance to fungal diseases in plant forms is achieved by crossing varieties of spring soft wheat with varieties of spring triticale and wild wheat species

##article.abstract##

Fungal diseases cause significant damage to the yield of spring soft wheat. Currently, the main method for combating these diseases in agricultural production is treating seeds with fungicides. However, breeding resistant varieties is a more promising approach. This can be achieved by crossing varieties of spring triticale with spring soft wheat to develop resistance to these pathogens. The search and selection of suitable initial forms can be conducted in vitro using special nutrient media to identify resistant varieties of spring soft wheat, spring triticale, and their hybrid forms. We have studied 22 seed samples, including various varieties of spring soft wheat, spring triticale, hybrid forms from crossing these species, and wild wheat species. We assessed their resistance to fungal pathogens, specifically Alternaria spp. and Fusarium spp.
