Abstract:The study aims to screen spring wheat germplasms with excellent starch pasting properties from Ningxia which will provide theoretical basis for starch quality improvement of wheat. The starch pasting properties of 299 spring wheat germplasm resources from Ningxia were analyzed using Rapid Visco-Analyser(RVA). Our results show that the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, breakdown, setback and final viscosity of the wheat varieties showed a large variation, in addition to the peak time. A total of 91 from 299 wheat varieties(30.4%) show higher peak viscosity and breakdown compared with the check cultivar Ningchun 4. Among them, there are 39 varieties(13%) with peak viscosity higher than 3,000 cP and breakdown higher than 300 cP with the distribution ratio of 63.6%, 28.9%,16.7%, 7.4% from landraces, released varieties, introduced varieties(lines), and advanced lines, respectively. In summary, the spring wheat germplasm resources from Ningxia have a wide range of genetic variation in starch pasting properties, and we screened 39 germplasms with excellent starch quality. But the introduced varieties(lines) and advanced lines with high peak viscosity and breakdown are relatively scarce. The quality improvement of both protein and starch should be considered in wheat breeding in the future.
