Abstract
In this paper, some achievements and problems of Polish triticale breeding are described, as well as its major breeding directions. Due to a great breeding progress, triticale has become in Poland the fifth cereal species which is grown mainly on poor soils. Up to now, 47 triticale cultivars have been registered (40 winter and 7 spring type). Most of them were introduced into many countries. Seven cultivars were recorded exclusively for export. The Polish cultivars Ugo (Modus) and Presto (Almo), developed in the 1990s, are of major importance in many European countries. At present, other good yielding Polish cultivars are cultivated abroad. To enhance the competitively of triticale in relation to other cereals and to increase its profitability, some important traits ought to be improved. Betterment of baking quality, especially the falling number, should be recognized as the major breeding purpose. The other goals include high level and stability of yield, acid and drought tolerance, enhanced tillering and accelerated growth phases (especially for spring type). Winter hardiness, lodging resistance and immunity (especially to rust and septoria diseases) are also very important breeders' tasks. New breeding methods such as chromosome engineering, double-haploids technique and molecular markers have to be used regardless of traditional breeding approach
