Assesment Of The Naxl Locus In The Genome Of Local Durum Wheat Varieties

An assessment of the presence of the genome marker linked to the Naxl gene, which regulates contents of
Na ions in leaves under salinity, has been performed in 19 domestic varieties of Triticum durum. Using
gwm312 and wmc170 molecular markers 200 bp allele linked to the Nax1 gene was detected in the Barakatli
95, Garabagh, Sharg, Shiraslan 23 and Gyrmyzy bugda varieties. Identified varieties may be promising for
use in breeding.
