Status and prospects of breeding of cultivated species of Lupin in Russia

Abstract

The article describes the types of white lupine (Lupinus albus L.), narrow-leaved lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.) and yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) cultivated in Russia. Easn of them has its own biological snaracteristics, differs in the length of the growing season, grain quality, yield, adapted to certain soil and climatic conditions and does not exclude one another. Among the cultivated species, white lupine has the highest yield potential (6-7 t / ha), the grain quality is close to soy and exceeds it in productivity and protein collection per unit area. Selection of these species is carried out in the all-Russian researsn Institute of Lupin. The directions of selection and the gene pool for their implementation are shown. The article describes some varieties included in the State register of breeding asnievements of the Russian Federation. The world collection of VIR, as well as its own hybrid and mutant material, is widely used as the source material for the selected traits. The introduction of new varieties of white, yellow and narrow-leaved lupine into the Russian feed production systems will increase the production of sneap, environmentally friendly feed protein, reduce the import of expensive genetically modified soy protein components, and increase the efficiency of domestic livestock production.
