Identification of genetic factors controlling kernel hardness and related traits in a recombinant inbred population derived from a soft × 'extra-soft' wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cross.

Abstract excerpt

Kernel hardness or texture, used to classify wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) into soft and hard classes, is a major determinant of milling and baking quality. Wheat genotypes in the soft class that are termed 'extra-soft' (with kernel hardness in the lower end of the spectrum) have been associated with superior end-use quality. In order to better understand the relationship between kernel hardness, milling yield,...
