Abstract
English: The objectives of this study were to determine the quality characteristics of hybrid
wheat in South Africa, the influence of the male and female parents on quality and to
assess heterosis in hybrid wheat quality. The stability performance of the hybrids, their
parental lines and conventional cultivars were also determined. A further objective was
to assess sprouting tolerance in hybrid wheat. Twelve hard red genotypes were
planted at six locations throughout the Free State in separate winter and facultative
trials, during 2004 and 2005. A separate sprouting and falling number trial consisting of
25 genotypes was planted at Bethlehem during 2004 and 2005 to evaluate the
sprouting and falling number problem in hybrid wheat and included males, females,
hybrids and conventional cultivars. Heads were cut at physiological maturity and
thereafter with seven day intervals, for evaluation in a rain simulation facility.
Mean squares were highly significant for genotype, environment and year for test
weight, SKCS kernel size, Hagberg falling number, ash, alveograph strength and
mixograph mixing time in both trials. Highly significant differences were seen for
hardness index, break flour yield, flour yield, consistograph water absorption in the
IHBPT trial and wet gluten content in the WHBPT trial. The males mainly contributed
to poor quality, with the females and conventional cultivars having acceptable quality.
The hybrids made up from high quality parents, had better quality in general. Positive
heterosis was expressed for test weight, SKCS kernel size and mixing time and
negative heterosis for falling number, ash and alveograph strength for both the
intermediate and winter trials. Negative heterosis was revealed for hardness index,
flour yield and consistograph water absorption in the Intermediate trial and wet gluten
content in the winter trial. AMMI stability values confirmed that hybrids had the best
stability performance, even more stable than Elands. The males and females
performed intermediate with the male genepool being more stable than the female one.
The sprouting trial revealed that the male genepool mainly contributed to the poor
sprouting tolerance of the hybrids. Combining males and females with good sprouting
tolerance provided tolerant hybrids. This was also true for falling number. The method
of evaluating sprouting was also revised and should be applied to ensure true tolerant
types are selected and to exclude environmental affects.

Twaalf harde, rooi genotipes per winter en fakultatiewe proef is gedurende 2004 en 2005 op ses lokaliteite in die Vrystaat geplant. ‘n Aparte uitloop en valgetal proef bestaande uit 25 genotipes inluitende basters, wyfies, mannetjies en konvensionele cultivars is op Bethlehem geplant gedurende 2004 en 2005 om die oorsprong van die uitloop en valgetal probleem in die baster koring vas te stel. Die ryp are is op fisiologies ryp geoes met 7 dae intervalle daarna, en in die reensimuleerder geëvalueer. Die gemiddelde kwadrate was betekenisvol vir genotipes, omgewings en jaar vir hektolitermassa, korrelgewig en–grootte, Hagberg valgetal, as, alveo sterkte en mengtyd in beide proewe. Hoogs betekenisvolle verskille is gekry vir hardheid, breekmeel, meelopbrengs en waterabsorpsie in die fakultatiewe proef en vir nat gluten in die winterproef. Die mannetjies het hoofsaaklik swakker kwaliteit gehad met die wyfies en konvensionele cultivars wat beter kwaliteit getoon het. Positiewe heterose is gevind vir hektolitermassa, korrelgrootte en gewig en mengtyd asook negatiewe heterose vir valgetal, as en alveo sterkte in beide proewe. Negatiewe heterose is gesien vir hardheid, meelopbrengs en waterabsorpsie in die intermediere proef en vir nat gluten in die winterproef. Die AMMI analise het bevestig dat basters die beste stabiliteit getoon het, selfs meer as Elands. Die mannetjies en wyfies het intermediêre stabiliteit getoon en mannetjies was meer stabiel as die wyfies. Die mannetjie genepoel het hoofsaaklik bygedra tot swakker uitloop weerstand. Deur tolerante mannetjies en wyfies te kombineer kan basters met beter toleransie teen uitloop verkry word. Dieselfde is gevind ten opsigte van die valgetal. Die metode om die uitloop te evalueer is ook verfyn om te verseker dat werlik tolerante tipes geselekteer word en om die effekte van jaar uit te skakel.
