Various factors are involved in common wheat end-use quality. Besides protein contents, genotypes related to gluten strength, starch amylose content, grain hardness, and dough discoloration are critical attributes determining various end-use quality.

To clarify breeding targets to improve end-uses, eleven specific combinations of the genotypes (ideotypes) for each end-use are proposed based on the combination of these genotypes.

Clarifying the ideotypes should accelerate wheat breeding for stable wheat supply while maintaining end-use quality.
