Quality evaluation of near-isogenic line of the wheat variety HD2733 carrying the Lr24/Sr24 genomic region.

ABSTRACT: A near-isogenic line (NIL) of the Indian wheat variety HD2733, carrying an introgressed Lr24/Sr24 genomic region was used for studying the effect of this introgression on quality traits. Data on the grain yield and 21 quality traits were recorded in this NIL and its recurrent parent (RP), both of which were grown in a randomized block design for two consecutive years. The statistical analysis revealed that grain yield was on par between the NIL and the RP. The NIL and its RP were both hard grained but the NIL showed a grain hardness index reduced by 9.7%. However, quality traits such as grain weight, protein content, sedimentation value, gluten traits, and solvent retention capacity were significantly higher in the NIL. The NIL also showed an increase in dough stability, a lo
