The shuttle breeding is effective method of genetic diversity estimation of spring wheat initial material with the help of involvement in hybridization of numerous sources of valuable Biological and Economical features from the world’s gene pool. Annually are studied about 1000 lines and hybrid populations of spring bread wheat in Siberian shuttle breeding nursery (SSBN), created according to the shuttle breeding program between scientific institutions of Western Siberia, Kazakhstan and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre CIMMYT. The resistant initial material to leaf and stem rust for breeding in conditions of Western Siberia was selected. The breeding value of the hybrid populations which are of interest for creation of spring wheat varieties with high productivity potential, which will be involved in breeding process of laboratory of wheat breeding of OMSAU is shown.
