Genotypic variability of root and shoot traits of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at seedling stage

The evaluation of the embryonic root and stem bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in early stage development (seedling stage) can be a powerful tool breeding aimed at obtaining progenies with greater vigour. It is revealed that genotypes faster vigour have produced higher biomass grain yield. In this study, traits 101 was preformed 10-day old seedlings. following eight morphological roots stems were analysed: primary length, branching interval, number roots, total length lateral angle seminal dry weight weight. Analysed included roots. greatest, i.e. smallest variability observed detected respectively. highest positive correlation determined between cluster analysis, based on traits, shows clearly divided into two main clusters, A B. clusters essentially differed from each other values traits: weight, length.
