Abstract: In this paper, selection of characters such as rust resistance, winter-hardiness, lodging resistance, maturity, and grain-filling is discussed.The results demonstrate. 1. Correct selection of parents is important for breeding desirable varieties. Lovrin 10 possesses good characters such as high resistance to rust and mildew, high grain-filling rate and "normal yellowing", and their genetic abilities are quite strong as well. Red awned 7 not only possesses the good characters-strong winterhardiness and strong genetic ability, but also is a good early maturing parental variety with excellent combining ability. By crossing Red Awned 7 with the very late maturing variety-Lovrin 10, and selecting the early maturing individuals from the medium-maturing lines successively in all the generations, the mid-early maturing variety-Feng Rang 7 was finally found. This result shows that both Red Awned 7 and Lovrin 10 are the superior parental varieties in the north winter wheat region of China. 2. Through the crossing of two high-stem parents, by successive selection, dwarf progenies-Feng Kang 2, 5, with a stature of 80-85 cm, have been obtained. The result shows that in dwarfness breeding, there is a wide range of materials that can be used, among which, are dwarf gene germplasm as the first choice, and a few superior medium and high-stem varieties.

Key words: Feng Kang winter wheat, selection, of characters, breeding
