Abstract
The National Center for Plant Genetic Resources
created passport database for spring durum wheat, which contains information on
1,266 accessions of different eco-geographical origin. Based on multiyear
studies of spring durum wheat accessions, a trait collection was formed in
terms of a set of valuable economic traits. The collection is of practical
value for modern breeding, includes 108 accessions originating from 11
countries and is differentiated by expression levels of 10 traits. Forty
references reflecting various expression levels of traits were chosen. The
trait collection includes accessions that are valuable starting material for
breeding: Naschadok (UKR) - large grain weight per spike (1.8-
