Quantitative proteomic analysis of super soft kernel texture in soft white spring wheat.

Super soft kernel texture is associated with superior milling and baking performance in soft wheat. To understand the mechanism underlying super soft kernel texture, we studied proteomic changes between a normal soft and a super soft during kernel development. The cultivar 'Alpowa', a soft white spring wheat, was crossed to a closely related super soft spring wheat line 'BC2SS163' to produce F6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs).
