Genetic Diversity for Grain Protein Content in Wheat Inbred Lines Derived from Marvdasht × Nurstar

Cereal grains are a major source of energy, carbohydrates, and dietary proteins. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple crop for an estimated ۳۵% of the world’s human population providing a fifth of global food energy. Wheat was cultivated on an estimated ۲۱۹ million hectares, making it the most widely grown crop worldwide. The global production reached ۸۰۸.۴۴ million tons, one of the big global staple cereals. Wheat grain protein content (GPC) is considered the main source of vegetable protein in human diets, particularly in regions where animal protein is scarce or expensive. The protein content varies from ۱۰–۱۸% of the entire dry mass of the wheat grain. In general, the characteristics of wheat grain make it a staple crop with diverse applications in various food crops around the world.
