Quality determination of wheat: genetic determination, biochemical markers, seed storage proteins - bread and durum wheat germplasm

摘要

BACKGROUND: Quality is an important determinant in wheat breeding since its genetic background is less affected by the environment and sufficiently influences the commercial value of a cultivar. Thus, if a certain cultivar possesses some specific allele combination at crucial loci, then it appears quite possible to exhibit valuable qualitative traits in terms of end-product quality. This is also true if either durum or bread wheat germplasm is involved.
