Abstract excerpt
Grain protein concentration (GPC) is one of the most important factors influencing pasta-making quality. Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) cultivars with high GPC produce pasta with increased tolerance to overcooking and greater cooked firmness. However, the large environmental effect on expression of GPC and the negative correlation with grain yield have slowed genetic improvement of this important...
