Analysis for Grain Quality Characters of the Waxy Wheat Line TN-1

The contents of grain amylose and protein in waxy wheat line TN-1 and non-waxy wheat line T531 were tested. The grain of TN-1 contained low amylose (0.89%) similar to glutinous rice and high protein (18.00%) as well as gluten similar to T531, thus possessed the particular quality. The results also showed that three pairs of recessive genes controlled waxy endosperm of TN-1 independently. The prospect of applying waxy wheat was also discussed.
