Genetic potential of quality in spring bread wheat cultivars bred at Kurgan agricultural research institute by A. I. Abugalieva, L. T. Maltsevа, E. A. Filippova, A. I. Morgunov, Y. I. Zelensky, J. Peña

“…In terms of sedimentation, 86% of the genotypes were predicted to belong to the strong and valuable wheat class; according to the composition of HMW glutenin subunits, mixing quality and flour strength (W), 30 – 42% were identified as high-quality genotypes. The in-depth study of grain quality within the KASIB environmental network revealed heterogeneity among cultivars in a number of genetic and biochemical parameters and provided an opportunity to select high-quality genotypes by marker characteristics and technological properties, which is likely to improve the efficiency of intra-cultivar selection and overall quality assessment of cultivars.…”
