In order to provide the theoretical basis for wheat quality breeding, cultivation regulations for quality improvement and high quality wheat production, 92 wheat samples which were collected in Guanzhong area, Shaanxi province were used as test materials, the relationship of 29 indexes of wheat quality properties such as test weight, hardness, protein content, farinograms, extensograms, and viscosity parameters were analysised with a statistical method called factor and cluster analysis .The results showed that, 29 indexes of wheat quality properties can be compressed into 7 factors, namely, protein quality factor, quality processing factor, starch pasting properties factor, gluten quantity factor, wheat physical quality factor, starch hot paste stability factor and starch setback factor, which can be able to determine the quality of the total variation of 26.22%, 22.34%, 11.60%, 7.15%, 6.03%, 4.80%, 3.94%, respectively, and the accumulative variance contribution was 82.14%. Cluster analysis was conducted according to the factor score of quality properties, and 92 wheat samples were clustered into three categories, namely, wheat samples from the northern drought area of Sanyuan county, Jingyang county and Wugong county with better farinograms, and excellent extensograms and starch gelatinization viscosity properties; the wheat samples from Linwei county and Pucheng county with excellent farinograms, better extensograms, and ordinary starch gelatinization viscosity properties; and the wheat samples from Pucheng county, along the provincial highway to Fuping county, Sanyuan county, Jingyang county, Wugong county, Fufeng county, Qishan county, and Fengxiang county, which include eight counties (districts) of Weinan, Xianyang and Baoji city. Because the area has better water fertilizer conditions and high yield, good processing quality, but the performance of farinograms, extensograms and starch gelatinization viscosity properties is poor. The quality properties of the same cultivars in different area perform differently. In high quality wheat producessing and wheat quality classification, the selection of high quality wheat variety and its adaptability to cultivation should be paid more attention. |
