Registration of Three Partial Waxy Winter Wheats

Functionality of chemically modified wild-type, partial waxy and waxy starchesfrom tetraploid wheats

Partial waxy (reduced-amylose) and fully waxy (amylose-free) tetraploid durum wheats (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) were developed by introgression of null alleles at the Wx-A1 and Wx-B1 loci from common hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Purified starches were obtained from each genotype, and chemically modified by: 1) cross-linking with phosphorus oxychloride, 2) substitution with prop...

Waxy wheats: Origin, properties, and prospects

Polymorphism of waxy proteins in Spanish hulled wheats

Hulled wheats are neglected crops that have potential in plant breeding programmes of modern durum and common wheat. Among these wheats, three species were widely cultivated in Spain until the mid 20th century: Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum (einkorn), Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum (emmer) and Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta (spelt). One important aspect of wheat grain quality is starch co...

Registration of ‘Mace’ Hard Red Winter Wheat

Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 2009 51 W heat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is one of the most common, and devastating, diseases impacting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the western Great Plains of North America. Annual production losses of 5% have been estimated, although severe local WSMV infection can result in complete crop failure (French and Stenger, Regis...
