Diseases caused by Puccinia species can have devastating effects on wheat and other crops, causing severe economic losses by reducing grain yield and quality. Generally, three strategies are used to control leaf and stem rust wheat diseases: (i) incorporating genetic resistance into new cultivars (ii) the use of fungicides (iii) crop management. The first approach is the most environmentally...
Pyramiding QTL for FHB resistance from multiple sources presents an opportunity to enhance the Fhb1 derived resistance of elite spring wheat germplasm. Conventionally, pyramiding QTL using a marker assisted-selection approach requires preliminary mapping studies to identify the resistance QTL from each parental line and validation studies to assess the QTL effects in multiple genetic backgrounds....
Wheat breeding programs worldwide aim at developing cultivars that meet end user quality attributes demanded by producers, processors, and consumers. Selecting from breeding populations created from well characterized parental germplasm provides the best opportunity of identifying cultivars that combine the best alleles and grain phenotypes for the desired technological applications. In this study,...
Development of high yielding wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties with acceptable end-use quality is a major focus in breeding programs worldwide. Variations in molecular weight (Mw) distribution of endosperm proteins are known to influence end-use quality traits. This paper reports the relationship of the size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) profile of endosperm proteins...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour functionality during the dough development and baking processes is an important quality attribute considered by the baking industry. A flour with high water absorption during mixing means more water and less flour is needed, compared to a flour with less water absorption. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing water...
