Securing a range of wheat resources is of particular importance with respect to wheat breeding, as it provides a broad genetic foundation. Although wheat breeders have used different wheat germplasms as material resources in current breeding systems, the traits of most germplasms collected from foreign countries differ from the unique traits that have evolved in the Korean environment. In this study, conducted over a 2-year period (2018 and 2019), we therefore evaluated the agricultural traits 1,967 wheat germplasms collected not only in Korea but also worldwide. During the period from sowing to February, the average temperature in 2019 was greater than 1℃, whereas from March to June, the average temperature was approximately 0.9℃ higher in 2018. Compared with the growth recorded in 2018, the stem length in 2019 increased by approximately 20 cm in 2019, and there were notable differences heading date and maturation between 2018 and 2019. In 2019, the heading dates of 973 and 713 wheat resources were earlier and later than those in 2018, respectively. Moreover, stem length was found to be highly correlated with the heading date and maturation. In Korea, where the rainy season and tine of rice transplantation overlap with the time of wheat harvest, early flowering time with high grain yield has been the most important selection target with respect to wheat breeding. We anticipate that the findings of this study will provide would use a foundation for the selection of elite materials and the development of resource core-sets for Korean wheat breeding programs.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the producing conditions of organic acid and saccarifing amylase in Koji culture by Asp. usamii shirousamii $U_2$. The results were as follows. 1. When the strain $U_2$ was incubated at $30^{\circ}C$, for 3 days in wheat flour and wheat bran media, the organic acid production was maximum. In the case of incubation at $35^{\circ}C$, for 3 days in wheat flour medium and at $35^{\circ}C$, for 2 days in wheat bran medium the activity of saccharifing amylase was highest. 2. When water was added 60% to wheat flour and 50% to wheat bran in the case of 3 days incubation, the organic acid production was superior. Both in wheat flour and wheat bran media, the saccharifing amylase production was most highly, when water was added 90-100%. 3. Comparatively speaking, the organic acid production was better in wheat flour medium than wheat bran medium, but the activity of saccharifing amylase was higher in wheat bran medium. 4. When the sweet potato starch waste and the wheat flour were mixed with same amount, the organic acid and saccharifing amylase production were higher than in simple wheat flour medium. 5. In the medium of sweet potato starch waste the organic acid and saccharifing amylase production were low extremely. 6. In the case of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$, 3 days in wheat flour medium admixed with 60% water, the amount of citric acid in the organic acid formed was about 91%.

The rheological properties of hard red winter, western white and Australian standard white wheat flours and of HRW-WW and HRW-ASW wheat flour blends having the same protein content were studied. Cooking properties of dry noodles prepared from HRW-WW and HRW-ASW wheat flour blends were also investigated. The noodles were prepared with salt and alkaline reagent. The salt and alkaline concentrations used were 1.7% and 0.17%. respectively, based on the weight of wheat flour. The alkaline reagent was an equal mixture of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. The HRW-ASW wheat flour blend had higher farinograph absorption and slightly stronger curve than HRW-WW wheat flour blend. Salt decreased the absorption of wheat flours by 2 and of wheat flour blends by 1%. However, alkaline reagent essentially had no effort on farinograph absorption. Salt and alkaline reagent strengthened the dough of wheat floors and wheat flour blends, with the former being more effective. No significant differences in pasting properties between HRW-WW and HRW-ASW wheat flour blends by amylograph were observed. There were no significant differences in rate of increase of weight or volume between noodles prepared from HRW-WW and HRW-ASW wheat flour blends. Alkaline reagent did not affect the weight gain of noodles hut lowered the volume gain. Breaking force of dry noodles and cutting force of cooked noodles were similar between the two noodles. Alkaline reagent increased both the breaking and cutting forces of noodles. Sensory evaluation revealed that the noodles prepared from HRW-WW and HRW-ASW wheat flour blends were slightly different. but not different from each other by preference test.

Quality characteristics of dough and noodles prepared from Korean wheat flours (Gru and Tapdong) were evaluated by substituting foreign wheat flours and starch in the formula. Korean wheat flours showed greater water absorption and weakness as well as protein and ash contents, but lower stability than the foreign wheat (control) By increasing substituted foreign wheat flours, water absorption of domestic Gru and Tapdong decreased. Dough development time decreased for Tapdong by substituting up to 30％ with foreign wheat flours. When imported wheat flours added in Gru and Tapdong, weakness of dough was decreased. Adhesiveness of dough was increased in all samples according to water adding, and Gru particulary showed the most high adhesiveness at 65% water and 10~20% replacement. From the mechanical texture test, Tapdong noodles were increased in cutting force by increasing amounts of imported wheat but decreased in extension distance. However, Cru noodles showed the opposite tendency. Hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness of noodles were increased in all samples by increasing amounts of substitution with imported starch. As a result of cooked noodles test, Korean wheat noodles showed relatively lower values in cutting force and extension distance than in those of the control Studies of noodle-related characteristics of Korean wheat flours indicated that domestic soft wheat such as Gru might have high quality above the foreign wheat in noodle preparation by adding flours containing high amylose or low gluten.

The physicochemical properties of wheat flours were investigated for hard wheat (Bara and Kameriya varieties), semi-hard wheat (Snisen variety) and soft wheat (Ume variety). There were no sigificant differences in the proximate chemical compositions of the tested wheat fluors; however, the protein contents of them were 12.18 to 8.40 % for the hard wheat flours and 6.81 % for soft wheat flour, and gluten contents were 11.77 to 8.38 % for the hard type flours and 5.53 % for soft flour. The soft wheat flour had higher whiteness, whereas the hard wheat flours showed higher starch damage values and higher flour-water absorption than the soft wheat flour. In farinograph data, the hard wheat flours had better development time, stability and valorimeter value of doughs. There were significant differences in the extensigraph data among the tested flours, i,e, resistance to extention and the area with planimeter of doughs increased with the time and their extensibility decreased. The Bara and Kameriya wheat flours had lower maximum visicosity of amylograph than Suisen and Ume wheat flours.

A Comparative study was performed among five Korean wheat(Greu, Eunpa, Tapdong, Allgreu, Woori) and three imported wheat(Dark Northern Spring, Austrian Standard Wheat, Western White) to investigate the characteristics of minerals and phytate from Korean wheat varieties. Ash contents of kernel was higher in Korean wheat than in imported wheat and related to ash contents and darkness of flour. More contents of Fe, P, and Mg from Korean wheat grains and Fe from Korean wheat flours were observed in comparison to imported wheat varieties. Fe concentration in Korean flour show high, indicating Fe was distributed at endosperm layer of kernels and not eliminated with milling. In addition, phytate affecting availability of minerals was determined from kernels and flours. Even though Korean wheat kernels had more phytate than that of imported wheat kernels, it is believed that most of phytate was removed with milling and there was no major difference between Korean and imported wheat flours. We also observed that the content of phosphate closely parallels the content of phytate from both the flours and kernels.

Developing improved wheat varieties is vital for global food security to meet the rising demand for food. Therefore, assessing the genetic diversity across wheat genotypes is crucial. This study examined the diversity of 168 durum wheat and 47 common wheat collections from 54 different countries using twelve agro-morphological parameters. Geumgang, a prominent Korean common wheat variety, was used as a control. Both qualitative and quantitative agronomical characteristics showed wide variations. Most durum wheats were shown to possess dense spikes (90%), while common wheats showed dense (40%) or loose (38%) spikes, with yellowish-white being the dominant spike color. The majority of the accessions were awned regardless of wheat type, yellowish-white being the main awn color. White or red kernels were produced, with white kernels dominating in both common (74%) and durum (79%) wheats. Days to heading (DH) and days to maturity (DM) were in the ranges of 166-215 and 208-250 days, respectively, while the culm length (CL), spike length (SL), and awn length (AL) were in the ranges of 53.67-163, 5.33-18.67, and 0.50-19.00 cm, respectively. Durum wheats possessed the shortest average DH, DM, and SL, while common wheat had the longest CL and AL (p < 0.05). Common wheats also exhibited the highest average one-thousand-kernel weight. Hierarchical cluster analysis, aided by principal component analysis, grouped the population into seven clusters with significant differences in their quantitative variables (p < 0.05). In conclusion, this research revealed diversity among common and durum wheat genotypes. Notably, 26 durum wheat and 17 common wheat accessions outperformed the control, offering the potential for developing early-maturing, high-yielding, and lodging-resistant wheat varieties.

Texture-modifying and freeze-thaw stabilizing effects of different wheat gluten and modified starches on surimi based-product were evaluated. The different incorporation manners of wheat gluten and modified wheat starch in surimi gel were also examined to evaluate their effects of textural properties on surimi gel. The addition of wheat gluten reduced the gel strength of surimi, but after freeze-thaw cycle it significantly improved freeze-thaw stability by reducing freexe-thaw expressible moisture and also by preventing rubbery texture development, Gluten-1 incorporated surimi gel showed higher functionality in forming cohesive gel determined by compressive and penetration force as wall as expressible moisture after freeze-thaw cycle. Surimi gel containing modified wheat starch showed better freeze-thaw stability that of modified potato starch. When a preblended mixture of wheat gluten and starch are incorporated into surimi gel, it made gel texture significantly softer as so in high sensory score. The compertition for moisture between gluten and starch is a main reason to show different way of textural modification.

Three winter wheats and 3 triticales grown in Korea were compared for nutritional quality and food-making performance. The flour yield of triticale was 54 % below that of wheat, while triticale was higher in protein than wheat. The amino acid composition of triticale flours was similar to that of wheat flours. The essensial amino acid compositions were slightly higher in triticale flours. Noodles of acceptable quality were produced from triticale flours. The bread produced from triticale flours was somewhat inferior to that from soft wheat flours. The triticale flours produced bread of slightly lower quality than the soft wheat flours. The specific loaf volume were lower, the grain more rough, the texture slightly harsher and the crumb color slightly darker.

Wheat is one of the most important crops in production and consumption. Despite increasing of importance, the self-sufficiency of wheat is less than 2% in Korea. To improve yield potential and broaden the genetic pool of common wheat in Korea, introduction of alien germplasms into the Korean wheat breeding program is suggested. For effective utilization of the germplasm, we introduced total 1,195 germplasms from the world, which were provided by National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS, USDA) and evaluated the yield, field performances and agronomic traits for 8 years. Among 55 countries, germplasms from Canada, Ethiopia, Mexico and United States accounts for 78%, especially germplasms collected from United States accounts for 50%. Yield comparison of germplasms and collected region analysis indicate that the high yielding germplasms are collected from countries or states of particular range of latitude. The combination analysis of the yield and agronomic traits and the geographical information of collected region will be utilized for improving Korean wheat breeding programs.
