Summary: In the process of breeding winter wheat superior lines selected previously are used as basic material. Further increase of yielding capacity and improvement of grain and flour quality is accomplished by means of the traits that are components of yield (increased rows of spikelets, higher 1000-kernel weight) and the traits that determine flour quality (increased protein content, increased gluten quality). By incorporating genes of resistance (tolerance) to major diseases (black stem rust, powdery mildew, Septoria disease, Fusaria diseases), higher yield stability is assured. In the 1991-1993 period the follwing new varieties were registered: Melita (1991), Davork (1991), Olga (1993), Sandra (1993), Rina (1993), Tina (1993), Darka (1993), Sutla (1993) and Rugvica (1993). Some of these recently released varieties have already been accepted by agricultural practice.

Research goals: The investigation is aimed at developing winter wheat varietiesand lines with incorporated genes for high yield, good grain andflour quality, resistance (tolerance) to major diseases anddifferent climatic stresses, in order to assure as high yieldstability as possible and increased adaptability of a variety.Our results achieved so far are known both to scientific workersand wheat growers. ZG winter wheat varieties are grown in allwheat-growing regions of the country and have considerablycontributed to the increase of average yield in this country. Oneof the high-yielding varieties is Sana, which serves as astandard for yield in trials of official committees in Croatiaand Hungary. During the last 30 years, 48 winter wheat varietiesdeveloped by this Institute have been registered by the officialcommittee, of which some (8) are reigstered in the neighbouringEuropean countries (Italy, Czechoslavakia, Hungary). At present,a number of new lines are in the process of registration: Croatia(36), Hungary (8), Slovenia (4).
