Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to winter wheat and is widely known in scientific literature as a genetic resource. It is used in breeding programs to create lines with anthocyanin grain coloration caused by the presence of the Ba1 gene, as well as to produce substitution lines incorporating genetic material from the wheatgrass Thinopyrum ponticum.

The plant is early-maturing and possesses the specific trait of blue grain. Under field conditions, the variety is characterized by a tendency to lodging, which is why it is used primarily for research purposes rather than in mass production.
