Popis: Genotype and environment sets of wheat cultivars and breeding lines were tested for bread making, dough mixing, dough rheology, protein composition and thiol/disulphide composition to find methods that could identify wheat with high baking quality (high-BQ) and moderate work input (moderate-WI) requirement using the mechanical dough development system. Wheat with these properties generally had a high baking response to ascorbic acid (AA) and a GluD1a (HMW-GS 2 + 12) allelic composition. Strong wheat with high WI and high-BQ generally had low baking response to AA and a GluD1d (HMW-GS 5 + 10) allelic composition. Using protein composition data to identify wheat of high-BQ (with AA) and moderate-WI, it was best to select wheat with as high as possible percent of SDS-unextractable polymeric protein (%UPP) in flour and as low as possible %UPP in total polymeric protein. Using a dough extension test for identifying wheat of high-BQ (with AA) and moderate-WI, it was best to select wheat with intermediate values for maximum resistance to extension (Rmax) and for values of extension at Rmax as high as possible within the intermediate Rmax range. Cysteine content of protein fractions and glutathione content of flour gave mostly poor to weak correlations with all baking and mixing properties.
