Abstract
Wheat is one of the most important protein sources
for human beings. Several food products are elaborated from this
cereal, such as bread. Mexican wheat breeding programs are focused
on to identify those genotypes with high yields and bread quality.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the environmental
effects over the Physicochemical and Bromatological quality parameters
of Cal Blanco F2011, Matchett F2011 and RSM-Norman
F2008 wheats sown at the experimental fields at Mexicali, Baja California,
Querendaro, Michoacán and Tarimoro, Guanajuato, Mexico
during the autumn-winter growing cycle for two consecutive years
(2014-2016) under irrigation conditions. Grain Hectolitric weight
(GHW); Weight of 1,000 grains (WTG), Grain Length, Width
and Thickness; Flour Colour (L, a* and b*), the Percentages of Protein,
Starch and Ashes, and Zeleny sedimentation tests (IZ) were determined.
Wheat genotypes showed significant differences in most
of the study variables and all the values were related to good bakery
quality. GHW, WTG and most of the physicochemical quality values
were strongly affected by the environmental factors over the genotype.
The three genotypes showed acceptable ZI values, especially
RSM-Norman F2008 grains from all the localities studied. Finally,
these genotypes presented suitable Physicochemical and Bromatological
qualities, and are recommended for irrigation conditions.
