The relationship between farinograph dough breakdown and the proportion of flour protein insoluble in 0 . 0 5M acetic acid (residue protein) was investigated for a number of wheats each grown at six locations in the Mallee and Wimmera regions of Victoria. At each location a highly significant correlation was obtained (R ranging from 0.84 to 0.93), which indicated that the 'residue test' could be used as a selection tool in wheat-breeding programs. Regressions of flour milling yield, flour protein content, farinograph water absorption, dough development time and dough breakdown, and the proportion of residue protein were calculated for each parameter for the wheats grown at Dooen against those for wheats grown at each other location. Variables largely dependent on protein 'quality', viz. dough breakdown, dough development time and residue protein, ranked the wheats similarly at each location of growth. Rankings according to milling yield, farinograph water absorption and flour protein content differed more markedly between locations.

Milling yield, maximum dough resistance (Rmax), dough extensibility, flour protein concentration (flour protein), particle size index (PSI), water absorption, and dough development time are important determinants of grain quality and are routinely evaluated in Australian wheat breeding programs. Information on allelic variation at the 6 loci determining glutenin proteins is also regularly obtained and used to predict Rmax and extensibility. For each character, except dough development time, 4029 observations on 2377 lines and 94 environments were analysed to estimate genotypic and environmental variances, heritabilities, genotypic and environmental correlations, and the effects of glutenin genes. A subset was analysed for dough development time. Milling yield, Rmax, extensibility, PSI, water absorption, and dough development time had intra-class correlation coefficients, or broad-sense heritabilities, between 0.66 and 0.76, and extensibility had a value of 0.52, with flour protein at 0.36. Genotypic and environmental correlations between extensibility and flour protein were high at +0.78 and +0.85, respectively. Rmax had a genotypic correlation with dough development time of +0.67, which was substantially due to pleiotropic effects of glutenin genes. Rmax, extensibility, PSI, and dough development time were influenced by glutenin genes. For Rmax about 50% of the genotypic variance could be explained by glutenin genes. For extensibility about 50% could be explained by flour protein, with 50% of the remainder by the inclusion of glutenin genes. For dough development time about 15% could be explained by flour protein, with a further 30% by glutenin genes. For PSI, about 40% of the genotypic variation could be accounted for by glutenin genes after the removal of the effects of flour protein and milling yield. We concluded that dough development time could be added to Rmax and extensibility as a trait that can be usefully predicted by the glutenin genes, but more work is required for PSI.

Glutenin genes were known to influence maximum dough resistance (Rmax), dough extensibility (extensibility), and dough development time, whereas puroindoline genes were known to influence grain hardness, flour water absorption (water absorption), and milling yield. These are important determinants of grain quality of wheat in Australia. This study was conducted to investigate the combined effect of these genes on Rmax, extensibility, dough development time, water absorption, and milling yield in a large dataset assembled from the breeding programs based at Horsham, Victoria; Roseworthy, South Australia; and Wagga Wagga, New South Wales; for at least 10 seasons. The effect of the glutenin genes on Rmax, extensibility, and dough development time was confirmed, as was the effect of the puroindoline genes on water absorption and milling yield. In addition, puroindoline genes were shown to significantly affect extensibility and dough development time. The Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1b genotype increased extensibility, dough development time, and milling yield relative to the Pina-D1b/Pinb-D1a genotype. Both of these genotypes are present in cultivars classified as hard-grained in southern Australia. Therefore, the allelic composition of both glutenin and puroindoline genes is required to predict the grain quality of hard wheat in southern Australian breeding programs. The glutenin and puroindoline genes in combination accounted for more than 50% of the genotypic variance for these traits, except for milling yield, but a substantial proportion of the genotypic variation could not be attributed to these genes, indicating that other genes affecting the traits were present in the populations of these wheat-breeding programs.

In simulation of a wheat-breeding situation, random F3 lines derived from seven wheat crosses were quality tested, and decisions to retain or discard them were made on the individual test results for flourmilling extraction, flour protein content and four separate measures of protein quality. Decisions were also made using regimes of tests that selected entries for high flour extraction and their balance of grain hardness, protein content and quality optimum for different wheat end-uses (bread, cakes, pastries, etc.). In the F4 generation all entries were grown in replicated yield trials. The effect of early generation selection for quality on the subsequent yield distribution was assessed by comparing the F4 yield distributions of the entire population with those for the designated quality test. Independent culling for flour-milling extraction and protein quality did not alter the nature of the subsequent yield distributions. However, independent culling in the F3 for flour protein content resulted in the loss of more lines of above average yield than below average yield in the F4 generation. Furthermore, the significant negative correlation between F3 flour protein content and F4 grain yield indicates that overemphasis on selection for high protein content would reduce the rate of yield improvement in the following generation. Application of the early generation testing regimes resulted in up to 66% of the lines being classified as having undesirable quality without the nature of the subsequent yield distribution being affected. The results of this study have application to the planning of wheat-breeding programmes that aim to produce high-yielding, good-quality wheats.

Dough Development Time

Glutenins are the major determinant of dough characteristics in wheat. These proteins are determined by genes at 6 loci, with multiple alleles present in southern Australian breeding programs. Previously, we estimated the effects of these genes on maximum dough resistance (Rmax), dough extensibility and dough development time. Subsequently, the allele previously classified as Glu-B1b was found to consist of 2 alleles, with one, now considered to be Glu-B1al, producing an overexpression of the Bx7 glutenin subunit. Therefore, there is a potential bias in our previous estimates. An extended dataset was analysed with the 2 alleles now separated. These analyses identified negligible biases in our previous estimates, probably due to a low frequency of Glu-B1al before 1999. However, Glu-B1al produced significantly higher Rmax, dough extensibility, and dough development time values than all other alleles at the Glu-B1 locus. Therefore, at intermediate allele frequencies, substantial bias in estimates of the effects of the Glu-B1 alleles can be expected without correct identification of Glu-B1al.

The effect of incorporating different levels of spray-dried sourdough (3, 6, 9, and 15% w/w) on flour characteristics and dough properties of two wheat flours was studied. As the spray-dried sourdough level in the blends increased, the pH values significantly (P < 0.05) decreased. Wet gluten content and sedimentation values were decreased in the flours containing spray-dried sourdough compared to those of the control. Water absorption significantly increased compared to that of the control. However, the dough development time was not affected by sourdough powder addition. Degree of softening significantly increased with an increase in the sourdough level and dough stability was significantly reduced. Doughs incorporating sourdough powder showed higher resistance to extension and lower dough extensibility than the control doughs.

The effect of stripe rust on the processing quality of Australian wheat varieties was examined over a four year period. Each year in field experiments, stripe rust was allowed to develop naturally on one half of each plot block while the other was kept disease free using three weekly applications of fungicide. Changes in grain quality were observed with susceptible varieties when subjected to an epiphytotic of the disease. Stripe rust caused kernels to be shrivelled, which resulted in reduced test weight and flour milling yield and increased grain protein content. Dough properties were also affected. Dough development time was shorter, mixing tolerance deteriorated and extensograph maximum resistance was lower for susceptible varieties affected by the disease.

The quantity and quality of protein and the rheological traits of wheat are crucial for processing flour in the baking industry, but there are few comparisons in the literature between old and modern wheat species. To help fill this gap, the baking quality characterization, gluten content, protein fraction composition, high molecular weight glutenin subunits, and rheological properties of ancient and modern wheat were determined and compared. These varieties were collected by the gene bank of the Crop Research Institute in Prague-Ruzyne and were grown in organically certified research areas in the Czech Republic. Results revealed differences in protein content and composition between varieties with different ploidy levels, as well as differences in development time and stability between einkorn and bread wheat varieties. Based on the proximity of their positions to the parameter quality in the principal components analysis, such as gluten content, gluten index (GI), Zeleny test, stability, dough development time (C1) and gliadin, the baking performances of cultivars were identified.

Seed of F2 single plant selections from two crosses was evaluated using a number of small-scale quality tests.F2 quality test values were significantly correlated with farinograph and extensograph properties in the F3, but no one test was correlated with all of the physical dough measures. The Pelshenke time and the proportion of residue protein were the small-scale measures most consistently correlated with dough strength (farinograph dough breakdown and extensograph maximum resistance) in the F3 and between the F2 and F3 generations.Applications of independent culling in the F2 for each test did not alter the subsequent nature of the F3 yield distribution except for flour protein content and Zeleny volume, where there was a preferential loss of lines from the higher yielding end. This resulted from the negative correlations between flour protein content and yield, both within the F3 (r=-0.66**) and between the F2 and F3 (r= -0-44**). The negative relationship between grain yield and Zeleny volume was due to the effect of protein content on Zeleny volume.Application of quality testing regimes that estimated grain hardness, protein content and dough strength in the F2 did not adversely affect the nature of the F3 yield distribution, yet permitted up to 71% of the population to be removed because of unsatisfactory balance of quality attributes. These results have considerable implications for the planning of wheat breeding programmes.Additional keywords: Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation volume, Zeleny sedimentation volume, Pelshenke wheatmeal fermentation time, residue protein content.

Baking Performance

Six commonly used wheat quality tests – baking performance, water absorption, dough development time, Valorimeter number, extensibility, and resistance to extension – have been examined for their abilities to characterise and discriminate among wheat varieties. Twelve Australian varieties are considered over a wheat protein range of 7.5–14.5 per cent. The recovery of wheat protein in the flour was also examined for their of the varieties. Except for resistance to extension, the tests showed a positive linear relationship of test measurement to log protein per cent, so that varieties were characterised for each of these tests by a pair of constants, a and b, where a is the average varietal value of the test property at 11.0 per cent wheat protein and b the average change in its value 46 per unit change in log protein per cent. The tests differ markedly in the extent and manner in which varieties are discriminated, baking performance being the most striking, in that the varieties are separated in two dimensions-level of performance (a) and sensitivity of performance to changes of protein content (b). Farinograph measurements discriminate primarily in the dimension of level performance for water absorption most of the varieties have approximate the same b values, while for dough development time and Valorimeter number the b values are positive and linearly related to the a values. For extensibility, varieties differ widely in both their a and b values but no clear pattern emerges, while for resistance to extension only differences in level of response occur. In most cases, the tests clearly distinguish between the hard and so) varieties, and within these groups suggestions are made and specifications are described for variety quality standards.

Four units of an automatic small-scale 'home bakery' (Panasonic SD-BT2P, Japan) were tested for their suitability for rapid and simplified test baking. The results indicated that the four baking machines used produced loaves equal in volume. Loaf volume increased with increasing values of protein content, wet gluten content, sedimentation value, and with farinograph dough development time and stability values. Varietal differences in the relationship between quality and loaf volume were detected.
