Abstract
In this paper was analyzed mass of spike in 20 genetically divergent wheat genotypes. Wheat
cultivars were grown in two years which characterized different climatic condition. In both
years samples of 60 wheat plants (20 plants in 3 replications) were analyzed in full maturity
stage. For improving different traits we need conduct special selection of parents after
analysis of expression of certain traits. The differences in average values of mass of spike in
studied wheat genotypes were determined. The variability of mass of spike was established.
The average values of mass of spike for both year of growing, varied from 2.74g in G-3568
to 3.9g in G-13610
