One of the current problems of modern breeding is the expansion of genetic diversity of wheat by genes of resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors, yield potential and grain quality. The basis of modern adaptive plant breeding is the extensive use of global genetic resources and their systematization based on the creation of genetic collections with identified agronomic and adaptive traits. According to the EURISCO Catalog, the world's genetic banks contain 110,809 accessions of the genus Triticum aestivum and 199,204 accessions of the genus Triticum.

Modern breeding programs have significantly the narrow genetic diversity of wheat, thereby increasing the vulnerability of plants to abiotic and biotic factors. Searching and creation of new source material using ecologically and geographically distant samples only in scientific institutions are being investigated.
