The search for new genes from secondary and tertiary genepool and incorporating them into cultivar hdps in genetic diversification. Rye (Secale cerenje, RR, 2n = 14) is known for several valuable traits namdy, resistance to diseases and pests, hardiness, high photosynthetic activity. With permutation and combination, in BC1F7 generation, cytologically stable plants were identified. Studies revealed identification of a line “Sdection 212” which was found resistant to both leaf and stem rost diseases.
