Excellent Bread Making Wheat Germplasm Offered

The primary general goal, as well as ongoing and most important objective in wheat breeding was, and still is, improvement of grain yield. Since 1960 in this activity the worldwide great results were achieved: wheat production was improved and grain production has increased from about 220 million metric tons in 1996 to about - 765 million metric tons in 2019 on more than 215 million ha. However, this great improvement in yield was accompanied with some undesirable side effects: lowering grain protein content as a result of negative correlation between grain yield and grain protein, as well as lowering nutritive value of grain (mineral content) as a result of dwarfing genes, and low mineral supply in soil, and finally, the constant increase of intolerance of people to wheat gluten, or more correctly, to glyphosate residua on grain (Celiac disease). This means that in the future more breeding effort should be directed to breeding wheat of improved nutritive value, as well as new growth technology. The results of 20 years of breeding effort, as well as the best wheat germplasm created and offered for sale is described.
