Description

Seed of common wheat 'Nongda 179' was irradiated by 60Co γ-rays with a dose of 250 Gy. M1 seeds were harvested, and 655 M2 single plants were randomly selected. The agronomy traits, starch paste identity and flour color of the 655 single plants were analyzed. The result showed that two plants with high 1000-grain weight (71.26 g and 70.89 g), two plants with a higher paster temperature of 83.9 degree C and 86.4 degree C and one plant resemble waxy wheat which setback was 14 cP were gotten. 9 plants with good synthetic quality traits were also selected. The inducement effect of 60Co γ-irradiation on quality characters was obvious. Irradiation could be used as an effective method in wheat starch quality improvement with the help of RVA method.
