Abstract
The semidwarf genes derived from ‘Norin‐10’ have been transferred to durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). The desired flour quality of durum wheat and common wheat (T. aestivum L. em. Thell.) is very different. The transfer of a gene or genes from common to durum wheat along with the semidwarf genes could be deleterious. Twenty‐six pairs of near‐isogenic lines of durum wheat were grown at two locations in each of 2 years. The semidwarf lines did not differ significantly from the tall lines for any of the 10 quality characteristics studied. We concluded that the semidwarf genes were not associated with any of the 10 quality characteristics and that semidwarf durums with adequate quality can be produced. There were significant differences between pairs of lines for 9 of the 10 characters. Correlations among the various quality characters were significant.
