| dc.description.abstract | Though the NDSU spring wheat breeding program developed some adapted HWSW germplasm in the last 30 years, significant improvement in baking quality is needed to meet the milling and baking industry’s needs. To make improvements, elite HRSW cultivars are commonly crossed to HWSW germplasm. This study used an optical color sorter to create four color-sorted subpopulations from a cross between Glenn (HRSW) and NDSW0932 (HWSW) in addition to unsorted and single seed descent subpopulations. The NaOH test determined pericarp color for 1927 F5:6 plants and found differences with generations and intensity of sorting. From these subpopulations, 265 F5:7 inbred lines were compared in a yield trial with two replicates across three ND locations in 2020. Measured traits included heading, height, lodging, yield, test weight, protein, SRC, GlutoPeak, BLS, and PPO. Significant subpopulation means and variance of traits were analyzed and interpreted. Breeding applications and future work was considered. | en_US |
