New Discovery Links Starch Granule Proteins to Wheat Hardness Levels!

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STARCH GRANULE PROTEINS AND WHEAT HARDNESS
Yuan Xiao-ping

Paper Summary

The protein found in starch granules of wheat kernels is closely related to the hardness of the wheat. A study of 38 Chinese wheat varieties showed a strong connection between a specific protein and wheat hardness. This means that by measuring the concentration of this protein, we can determine how hard the wheat kernels are.
