| Both protein and lysine in the first combination were inherited intermediary.
Their quantities were smaller than those of the high-lysine mutant but bigger
than the same of the second component. Protein content in the second combination
is lower than that of both the parents, while respect to lysine content
that combination is inferior to the high-lysine parent, but superior to
the second parent. However, in all analysed lines of the two combinations,
lysine content is over 3%. A very favourable combination between protein and lysine exists in of the lines 61-779/401. The comparatively high protein content there corresponds to a high lysine content. That comes to show that hybridization with high-lysine wheat mutants may give, in some cases, transgressive forms of good productivity, high protein and lysine content and a favourable interrelation between protein and lysine in the grain.
