Abstract
Winter durum wheat genotypes have been selected in Martonvasar, Hungary, based on the yellow colour of the semolina since 1995. During this period, the yellow index of 1686 durum wheat cultivars and advanced lines was tested using a Minolta CR-300 chromameter. The average yellow index values of the advanced lines and of Hungarian and foreign cultivars fluctuated over a wide range (19.9-24.4 b*) in different years. Correlation analysis confirmed previous observations on spring durum wheat cultivars, which indicated that no correlations could be demonstrated between the yellow pigment content and other pasta quality parameters even at a medium level of significance. Before selection began, the average yellow index of these lines was 99.2% compared with that of the control cultivar 'Parus', while this value had risen to 119.4% by 2003. The yellow index of the best lines exceeded that of the control cultivars by more than 30%, while the ratio of lines with yellow index values lower than that of 'Parus' declined from 60% to 0%. The mean yellow index values recorded for state registered Martonvasar cultivars and advanced breeding lines over the last seven years confirm that the technological quality of winter durum wheat genotypes can be substantially improved by selection
