Evaluation of grain color and protein content in F5 durum wheat (Triticum durum desf.) populations

13384

This study was conducted to determine grain yield, SPAD, protein content and grain colors and evaluate this traits in plant selection by using F5 durum wheat populations. Fifteen different hybrid combinations was used as material. This research was conducted with randomized complete block design with 3 replications during 2011-2012 growing season. The values ranged in hybrid between 69-7.51 (g/plant) in grain yield, 43.2-49.7 in SPAD , %14.8-15.9 in protein content, 41.18-45.66 in L value and 14.92-16.71 in b value. The hybrid of Spagetti x Levante took over in terms of grain yield, while the hybrid of Mersiniye x Levante have priority for SPAD, protein content, L value and b value. This combinations were found to have potential for new cultivar improvement via single plant selection. Positive and significant correlation was obtained between protein content and L according to correlation analysis. According to the results of the study, high yielding genotypes can be selected from some of F5 hybrid combinations but the selection of genotypes which have high yield and quality contaning a combination of genotypes selection are expected to be to low possibility.
