Abstract

The distribution of the additionally synthesized biomass was studied at the end of the vegetation period in spring wheat plants grown from seeds whose germinating power was artificially enhanced by exogenous glutamine and proline. The optimum concentrations of amino acids in the seed soaking solution were determined by the beginning of the inhibition of seed germination. At the end of the vegetation period, plants with an artificially enhanced germinating power were characterized by a more developed root system and a higher tillering capacity than the control plants, which corresponds to the properties of the F1 hybrid. The consumption of additional energy to increase the tillering capacity and development of the root system is important for the adaptation of cereals to nonoptimal growing conditions via the increase in the F2 hybrid formation probability.
