Durum-type wheat with high bread-making quality.
A durum-type wheat (2n = 4x = 28) with high bread-making quality was produced by crossing a durum-wheat variety with a common bread-wheat variety (2n = 6x = 42), backcrossing to the bread-wheat variety for three generations, and then selecting for 28-chromosome plants. The high quality is tentatively attributed to a translocation involving one of the D-genome chromosomes.
