1 Methods for Quality Selection and Evaluation

In this section we discuss the efficiency of a diverse subset of methods used for predicting different aspects of wheat quality and its potential use in breeding programs. This subset includes commonly used near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and Payne Score, and more sophisticated methods such as the Wheat Simulator and Protein Quality Index (PQI). More specific and quality research methods are also discussed including, the Protein Scoring System (PSS), the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and variants SE-HPLC and RP-HPLC for %UPP determination, and the LC-MS/MS analytical method for screening of water-soluble vitamins. It should be mentioned that there are many methods extensively used for quality selection in breeding programs not included here (such as SDS-sedimentation, SRC, SKCS, among others) that have been already reviewed in other publications. The choice of methods discussed in this section is related with the expertise of co-authors taking part of this book chapter.
