Major quality trait analysis and QTL detection in hexaploid wheat in humid rain-fed agriculture
“Major quality trait analysis and QTL detection in hexaploid wheat in humid rain-fed agriculture”, vol. 12, pp. 1740-1751, 2013.
, Humid rain-fed agriculture is a special environment for wheat (Triticum aestivum) culture that tends to negatively affect wheat yield and quality. To identify quality characters of wheat in a humid environment, we conducted quality analysis and quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection in a recombinant inbred line whose parent had a high level of quality for several years. We found that high-quality wheat had less gluten content and lower protein content. Apparently, wheat quality and associated quantity traits were in a dynamic state of equilibrium.
