Breeder Evaluations Cereal Chemistry Tests and Recommended Markers E. Souza - USDA-ARS, Wooster
What do we do here at the SWQL? • Research on milling, soft wheat formulations, and genes controlling soft wheat quality • Breeder sample evaluations • http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/site_main.htm?modecode=36-07-05-00 • Help the industry interpret the information on wheat quality • http://www.ars.usda.gov/News/News.htm?modecode=36-07-05-00
Breeder sample evaluations • Micro evaluations -150 gram sample • Single stream milling • Sucrose and lactic Acid SRC flour analysis • Advanced evaluation – 400 gram sample • Multi-pass milling • SRC analysis and cookie bake • Wheat Quality Council – 80 lbs • US Wheat Associated Overseas Varietal Analysis – 200 lbs
Micro evaluations 2007: 4300 Breeder samples (Not counting genetic studies) • Milling Quality Score and SE Score • Adjustment of mill data based on checks • Baking Quality Score • Combination of Softness Equivalent, Flour Protein, and Sucrose SRC with bias adjustment from check • Test weight • Flour yield, softness equivalent (Break flour) • Sucrose SRC and Protein Adjusted Lactic Acid
Analysis of Variance for Soft Red Winter Wheat Cultivars Evaluated 5 or more times by the Soft Wheat Quality Laboratory in each year from 2006 to 2008.
Advanced evaluations 2007: 1000 Breeder samples (Not counting genetic studies) • Milling Quality Score and SE Score • Adjustment of mill data based on checks • Baking Quality Score • Cookie diameter with bias adjustment from check • Test weight • Flour yield, softness equivalent (Break flour) • Sucrose SRC and Protein Adjusted Lactic Acid • For trials with many named cultivars: Water and Sodium Carbonate SRC • Sugar snap cookie evaluations
Prediction of Sugar Snap Cookie Diameter from Advanced Milling in 2007 & 2008 Baking Quality Scores combine the three best predictors of sugar snap cookie diameter. Sucrose R2 = 42% Flour protein R2 = 37% Softness equivalent R2 = 21% All three variables R2 = 60% Sucrose SRC % Flour protein % Softness Equivalent %
Prediction of New and Old Cookies Comparison of cookie methods from samples baked in 2008 for five soft red winter wheat cultivars. Total samples 30.
New Database of Cultivar Quality • Advanced milling of state performance trials • Cookie baking • Four SRC solvents • Provide industry rapid performance evaluations of new cultivars • http://www.ars.usda.gov/News/News.htm?modecode=36-07-05-00 • Include multiple states

2009 Wheat Quality Council18 Cultivars from 2008 Crop • Four cultivar sets - Best cultivars: • Set 1, Ohio - PUR 02444 A1-23-9 • Set 2, Virginia – SS 5205 • Set 3, Michigan – Ambassador • Set 4, Missouri – MO 011126 • How to use this information • Selection for parents • Quality targets for release • Use as checks in the future • Remember – Moderation in all things
2009 Wheat Quality Council18 Cultivars from 2008 Crop • Traits positively correlated with cooperator scores • sugar snap ratio (r=0.88) and width (r=0.82) • wire-cut diameter (r=0.80) and weight loss (r=0.68) • straight grade yield (r=0.56) and break flour (r=0.52) • Traits negatively correlated with cooperator scores: • Farinograph absorption (r=-0.76) • Water SRC (r=-0.71), sucrose SRC (r=-0.68), sodium carbonate SRC (r=-0.68) • Flour protein (r=-0.50) • Scores not correlated to cooperator scores: • Measures of gluten strength • Most cooperators did not chlorinate flour so limited information on cakes
2007 Overseas Varietal Analysis10 Cultivars from 2007 Crop • Best overall cultivars: McCormick and Tribute • Overall ranking correlated to Farinograph strength • 2007 samples were all low for water absorption • McCormick makes a range of Asian cakes very well • Historically OVA cooperators have strong preferences for gluten levels. • Lower water absorption typically is preferred in Latin America, N. Africa, and Arabian peninsula • Bright dough color and moderate water absorption is generally desirable for steam breads
Overseas Varietal Analysis Chinese Steam Bread, 2007 Samples Code 701 – Coker 9553, 702 – Tribute, 703 – USG 3665, 704 – USG 3350, 705 – Armor 260Z, 706 – McCormick, 707 – Magnolia, 708 – NC Neuse, 709 – Pioneer 25R47, and 710 – Hopewell.

Discussion Points • In soft wheat many of the quality traits are positively associated in terms of desirability • e.g. greater flour yield and lower water absorption • Quality traits in all mapping populations are highly heritable • Most of the quality traits are complex – multiple places in the genome
