Chlorophyll (Chl) content, photochemical activity of chloroplasts as well as photosynthetic and crop productivity were studied in different winter hexaploid Triticale (xTriticosecale Witt.) lines and their F1 hybrids. Heterosis enhanced Chl content, photosynthetic potential, photosynthetic productivity, and grain yield only in several F1 hybrids of Triticale. Indication in some genotypes of close correlations among morphological structure, Chl content, photochemical activity of chloroplasts, photosynthetic potential, and plant productivity may be used in breeding practice of Triticale.

Additional key words: chlorophyll; genotypes; grain yield; heterosis; hybrids; leaf area; photochemical activity of chloroplasts; plant height; productivity; seedling length
