Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is among the most significant cereals and serves a a staple food worldwide. In 2022, the global area dedicated to wheat cultivation reached 219 million hectares, yielding a total production of 808 million tons. Wheat is primarily valued for its protein content, followed by starch, lipids, and a few minerals. Over 35% of the world's population relies on wheat as a staple food crop. To ensure food security and cope with the rising demand from an increasing global population, wheat production must grow by approximately 70% by 2050. Bread is the main product made from wheat, and its quality is crucial for taste, shelf life, and minimizing waste. The versatile characteristics of wheat grain establish it as a crucial crop with diverse applications in food production worldwide. Enhancing wheat quality has become a key objective for breeders to meet the growing market demand. Numerous studies have focused on understanding the genetic basis of wheat's end-use quality.
