Wheat puroindolines interact to control grain hardness and effect ruminal digestability of starch in cattle
Endosperm texture directly affects end-use and milling qualities of hexaploid wheat. Genetically, the Hardness (Ha) locus controls the majority of endosperm texture variation and contains the puroindoline a (pina) and b (pinb) genes. Soft kernel texture results from both puroindolines being in the w...
