This paper describes new winter trlticale strains possessing proper bread baking quality, The new triticale strains have been developed of the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute in 1993. The new triticale strains were superior to the standard cultivars of triticale in kernel test weight, falling number, sedimentation value (SDS), protein content, gluten index, water absorption, dough handling characteristics and bread test, The new triticale strains were nearly equal to the good quality ofPolish winter wheat in overall evaluation. These results confirm the hypothesis that even if hexaploid triticale are lacking the D genome, the breeders still have enough genes in the A, B and R genomes for improving triticale quality (according to the literature, the main genes effecting quality of hexaploid wheat are located in D genome).
