Abstract

Seeds of the spring bread wheat variety Zhenis, registered in Kazakhstan, were irradiated with 100 and 200 Gray doses from a [60Co] γ-ray radiation source. Promising advanced M5 mutant lines were obtained and evaluated for mapping density of vernalization requirement associated dominant VRN-A1 gene and earliness related Esp-A1 candidate genes in 30 spring wheat mutant lines along with parent. Differences among generated mutant lines and parent were observed on frequency of distribution of VRN-A1 gene and Eps-A1 candidate gene alleles. Allelic variation at the VRN-A1 loci was observed in the 8 mutant lines (26.6%), mostly in 100 Gy mutant lines. A dominant (VRN) allele at its loci, which was present and indicated in these lines is sufficient to confer a spring growth habit. As for the candidate gene Esp-A1, eleven 100 Gy M5 mutant and six 200 Gy M5 lines, had Esp-A1 candidate gene allele. The two lines
24(2) and 43(4) carrying dominant allele of VRN-A1 had higher thousand kernel weight. Mutant lines carrying allele of Eps-A1 candidate gene found significantly differed from the parent especially in 100 Gy lines (73.3%) in flowering time.
