Variability in grain, flour, functional properties and protein profiling in newly developed wheat genotypes grown in temperate climate of Western Himalayas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since wheat varieties and breeding lines developed by plant breeders in the western Himalayan region (Kashmir) have received limited attention with respect to their physical and protein quality characterization, the focus of the study is to evaluate the diversity in grain, flour and the various protein fractions in newly released wheat genotypes grown in temperate regions of the Western Himalayas.

Methods

The present study investigated the grain and flour quality in various newly developed advanced wheat genotypes, viz., KWQ-21-1, KWQ-21-2, KWQ-21-3, KWQ-21-4, SKW 374, KWQ-21-6, KWQ-21-7, and SKW 357, along with two released varieties (Shalimar Wheat-2 and Shalimar Wheat-3). These wheat genotypes were studied for their functional, structural and protein profiling
