Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the bread-making wheat group and possesses good processing quality indicators with low energy requirements. In the scientific community, the variety is widely used as a reference organism for genomic research and gene expression studies.

The plant is of the tall type, is late-maturing, and ripens later than a number of analogous varieties. The variety is sensitive to the effects of heat and drought during the flowering period, and commercial seed lots may possess genetic heterogeneity due to the presence of different biotypes.
