To investigate the inheritance of the Minolta b* value related to yellow pigment content, a biparental winter durum wheat mapping population was created. The line ‘PWD1216’ was chosen as the parent with high yellow pigment content, and ‘MvTD10-98’ as the low one. The Minolta b* values of the parents and lines were evaluated for a total of 13 years. Measurement of gluten and thus gluten index were performed in 5 years. The Minolta b* value of the semolina of the line with the highest yellow pigment content exceeded 24 in 12 years, while the minimum values did not reach the value of 20 in most years. The gluten strength of the lines in the population varied within a wide interval. The gluten index of the lines with the strongest gluten structure significantly exceeded that of both parents. The gluten index of the line with the weakest gluten was between 1.18 and 9.93. The effect of years and genotypes was analyzed using a linear mixed model. In our experiment, other traits (wet gluten content, plant height, heading time and cold tolerance under phytotron conditions) were also observed in several years, so we could analyze the correlation of these traits with the Minolta b* value and the gluten index. In this population the Minolta b* value and the gluten index proved to be genetically well-determined traits, but in addition to these two more traits, the heading time and plant height were also controlled to a decisive extent by the genetic background.
