An Overview of Factors Affecting the Functional Quality of Common Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, and, as a resilient cereal, it grows in various climatic zones. Due to changing climatic conditions and naturally occurring environmental fluctuations, the priority problem in the cultivation of wheat is to improve the quality of the crop. Biotic and abiotic stressors are known factors leading to the deterioration of wheat grain quality and to crop yield reduction. The current state of knowledge on wheat genetics shows significant progress in the analysis of gluten, starch, and lipid genes responsible for the synthesis of the main nutrients in the endosperm of common wheat grain. By identifying these genes through transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics studies, we influence the creation of high-quality wheat. In this review, previous works were assessed to investigate the significance of genes, puroindolines, starches, lipids, and the impact of environmental factors, as well as their effects on the wheat grain quality.

Advancements, limitations and challenges in hyperspectral imaging for comprehensive assessment of wheat quality: An up-to-date review

“…Such wheat quality indexes can undergo dynamic changes throughout the various stages of wheat production, from cultivation to processing ( Banach et al, 2021 , Filip et al, 2023 ). For example, proteins that contribute to the functional and nutritional properties of wheat-based products can undergo aggregation during various stages, such as dough formation, baking, and storage ( Abedi, & Pourmohammadi, 2021 ).…”

Resistance of Modern Russian Winter Wheat Cultivars to Yellow Rust

“…Wheat is one of the most important crops worldwide, and it grows in various climatic zones [1]. Common (or bread) wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the one most dominant among cultivated Triticum spp.…”

Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly and Population Genomic Analyses Reveal Geographic Variation and Population Genetic Structure of Prunus tenella

“…More research into the evolutionary adaptat With the increased attention to wild resources, many desirable traits have been mined and applied to agricultural varieties [4][5][6][7][8]. Moreover, many breakthrough varieties have also benefited from the discovery of wild-breeding genetic resources [9][10][11][12], especially for wheat, rice, soybean, and other economically important food crops [13][14][15][16]. Together, these lines of evidence have shown that introducing wild gene resources has greatly improved disease resistance, insect resistance, and the growth of cultivated varieties [17][18][19][20][21].…”
