Abstract
The rye cultivar BRS Progresso, developed by the Brazilian AgriculturalResearch Corporation (Embrapa), is the result of a synthetic cross of 18open-pollinated, self-incompatible lines, resistant to stem rust.
Highlights
In Brazil, the area used for rye cultivation was continuously 2,300 hectares (IBGE 2012) between 2010 and 2012
To meet the demand for more productive and stable materials, the new rye cultivar BRS Progresso with moderate stem rust resistance was developed in several studies
Rye cultivation increased from the 1950s, with yields of 710 kg ha-1, to 966 kg ha-1, in the 1990s, reaching 1,164 kg ha-1 in the first decade of 2000
