Abstract

This paper reflects an overview and collates possibly new information about current triticale status in Poland and elsewhere. There will be considerable production, breeding research, biology, and agronomy of triticale. Considerable improvements were made in modern triticale cultivars with respect to agronomic performance, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and nutritional quality, in particular for human consumption and wider adoption as a viable commercial crop. In the past decades, new breeding tools and enabling technologies (doubled haploid, marker assisted selection, genomics selection, transgenic, functional genomics, and targeted genome editing) have been refined or developed anew and are successfully exploited in triticale improvement. Through, the integration of these tools and technologies with conventional plant breeding approaches, triticale biological potential has been enhanced to make this small grain species an economically successful crop.
