- Abstract
In 2008, the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad will celebrate its 70th anniversary. The Institute's breeding program included small grains from its very foundation back in 1938 and 372 cultivars of these species have been developed since as a result. The highest amount of breeding work has been done on wheat and barley. The dominance of NS wheat and barley cultivars began in the early 1970s and has continued ever since. The IFVC small grains pro gram rests on three basic postulates, namely the definition of breeding goals, development of genetic variability, and identification of superior genotypes. The actual breeding work has consisted in the conception of a specific cultivar ideotype by each breeder and subsequent efforts to attain the de sired breeding goals. To create genetic variability, the method of artificially hybridizing two or more genotypes was used. A huge number of parental lines from all continents have been used in the pro gram, with the most notable one being the Russian cultivar Bezostaja 1. Potential for yield has been the most important selection criterion from the very start. Later on in the pro gram, other criteria such as quality and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses be came highly important as well. The last five years have been marked by intensive work on molecular markers, namely microsatellites. In addition to the work on identifying particular traits (genes) in multiple genotypes using known markers, major efforts are under way to utilize microsatellite markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) as well.
