One of the objectives in the Canadian durum wheat (Triticum turgidumL.) breeding programs has been the selection of lines having higher protein content. The Langdon-dicoccoides(Triticum dicoccoides6B) substitution, a source of high protein, has been introgressed into two high yielding, but lower protein Canadian lines of durum wheat. The resulting lines with protein content similar to registered cultivars...
Marker assisted selection (MAS) and wheat doubled haploids (DH) are relatively new technologies, recently applied to wheat breeding programs. Simulations demonstrate that DHs increase the efficiency of MAS, and offer faster strategies for combining large numbers of genes with a minimum number of marker tests. When small numbers of marked loci (1-3) are selected simultaneously, selection of DH progeny...
Canada was the largest durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var durum) producer in 1994, and in recent years supplied over 70% of world export trade in durum. Breeding for pasta quality is, therefore, a primary objective in Canadian durum breeding programs. Control of cultivar registration and stringent grading standards ensure that durum of consistent high quality is produced for domestic and export markets...
