As a result of research conducted with a large number of inbred lines, it was found that there are lines with full flowering in the first year of vegetation, as well as lines with an increased content of essential oils. Finally, lines with an essential oil content exceeding 2% (dry matter) were identified: M-69 453-82 S16 – 2,191%; M-69 428-82 S16 – 2,227%; M-69 815-82 S16 – 2,140%. Lines with essential oil content exceeding 1%: AP 2-11 S6– 1,642 %; AP 11-11 S6– 1,642 %; AP 28-11 S6– 1,221 %; AP 30-11 S6– 1,912 %; AP 66-11 S6– 1,643 %; AP 67-11 S6– 1,573 %; NC 6 -11 S6– 1,356 %; NC 4 -11 S6– 1,358 %; NC 19 -11 S6– 1,499 %; NC 38 -11 S6– 1,646 %; NC 98 -11 S6– 1,810 % etc. Thus, the selected lines were subjected to inbreeding during the flowering phase, in order to reproduce promising lines, which will later be included in breeding programs. The aim of the investigations was to create, evaluate and select initial breeding material with high-performance genetic potential.enSalvia sclarea L.inbred linesinflorescencevegetation periodessential oilArticle
