Preserve the authenticity of the variety axis of contemporary variety maintenance and seed production in barley

Bogdan Bonchev, Darina Valcheva

Abstract: Sustainable production of barley is largely dependent on the quality of seeds, accelerated seed production and rapid deployment of newly varieties. Preserving authenticity of the variety, such as was in its recognition, is a major issue of modern breeding. The organization of primary seed production and the rapid introduction of varieties is associated with applying different methodological approaches from originators of varieties. This publication is intended to indicate the main problems facing variety maintenance. For barley they are reduced to the dynamics of degradation of varieties in the process of their use in production and demand approaches to preserve their valuable biological and economic qualities.
