Global climate change, declining biodiversity, declining soil fertility, and the spread of diseases pose risks to the cultivation of wheat, one of the most important economically and socially significant grain crops. Accelerated development of high-yielding wheat varieties with high grain quality and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress is essential. In the Northern Trans-Urals, negative limiting factors for wheat cultivation include early summer droughts, frequent droughts during grain formation and filling, July heavy rainfall, leaf rust and septoria blight outbreaks, prolonged autumn rains, and early autumn frosts. For sustainable cultivation, the region requires early- and mid-season varieties adapted to local conditions with high potential and actual yields. Based on the ecogenetic theory of quantitative traits developed during the study of 15 varieties common in Siberia and 210 F1 and F2 hybrids, genetic effects ranging from intermediate dominance to overdominance and epistasis (primarily due to the complementary and additive effects of genes) were identified for ear productivity traits. Consequently, the studied accessions varied in their breeding significance and cultivar-forming potential. With their participation, 10 registered common varieties were developed within the DIAS program (Genetics of productivity traits of spring wheat in Western Siberia). Using the DIAS genetic germplasm first-generation varieties—eight granddaughter varieties were created in various regions and registered by the State Variety Testing Commission. For the first time, a hybrid population was generated using both parent varieties, the Kazakhstanskaya rannespelaya and Lutescens 70 created using breeding material from the DIAS eco-genetic program. From this population, after a series of stabilizing reseedings, the Lutescens 868 line was selected which became the Tyumenskaya 29 variety. The parent forms of the Kazakhstanskaya rannespelaya and Lutescens 70 are the ecologically contrasting varieties Novosibirskaya 67, Omskaya 9, and Rang, evolutionarily belonging to the West Siberian and Scandinavian ecological groups. Their pedigrees include intensive varieties created based of the Bezostaya 1 winter wheat variety with a broad reaction range and genetically diverse genealogy. The Swedish variety Rang's pedigree includes the closely related variety Ring, local Galician and Dutch squareheads, and Triticum persicum, which impart to the Tyumenskaya 29 variety an intensive type, resistance to lodging, powdery mildew, loose smut, and pre-harvest sprouting of grain in the ear. Novosibirskaya 67 is the only wheat variety created by experimental mutagenesis based on Novosibirskaya 7 wheat (obtained from hybrid material from the Volga region and the French variety NOE, which is of Russian origin). Both parental forms of the Tyumenskaya 29 variety exhibit good drought tolerance (33.8 and 32.0 %) which is comparable to that of the best variety in this regard, Saratovskpya 29 (30.2 %). They also respond well to improved environmental conditions (bi 0.82 and 0.94, respectively). The genealogical tree of the Tyumenskaya 29 includes 60 varieties of varying ecological, geographical, and genetic origins, dating back to the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The complete pedigree of the varieties being developed allows for a theoretically sound selection of parental varieties for crossbreeding, taking into account the risks associated with environmental factors in the areas where they were developed. Varieties with minimal risk, differing in the stages of organogenesis, through hybridization and subsequent transgressive segregation allow for the creation of intensive hybrids well adapted to local agroclimatic conditions with minimal risks. The created hybrid, which became the Tyumenskaya 29 variety, exhibits a broad response range, good adaptability, pronounced plasticity, and is characterized by high yield (potential yield within 7.0 t/ha), lodging resistance, tolerance to pre-harvest germination of grain in the ear, and high technological indicators of grain. The variety is included in the state list of valuable ones.

Keywords: soft spring wheat, Tyumenskaya 29 variety, adaptability, plasticity indicators, grain quality.
