Phenotypic and genetic diversity of doubled haploid bread wheat population and molecular validation for spike characteristics, end-use quality, and biofortification capacity.

ABSTRACT: Increasing grain quality and nutritional value along with yield in bread wheat is one of the leading breeding goals. Selection of genotypes with desired traits using traditional breeding selection methods is very time-consuming and often not possible due to the interaction of environmental factors. By identifying DNA markers that can be used to identify genotypes with desired alleles, high-quality and bio-fortified bread wheat production can be achieved in a short time and cost-effectively. In the present study, 134 doubled haploid (DH) wheat lines and their four parents were phenotypically evaluated for yield components (spike characteristics), quality parameters, and grain Fe and Zn concentrations in two successive growing seasons. At the same time, ten genic simple sequence repeats (SSR
