Puroindolines a and b genes are crucial for determining wheat hardness. The absence of these genes leads to hardness, while their presence characterizes soft wheats. The PCR band for the "soft" allele along with puroindoline a signifies soft wheats, whereas an absence indicates a puroindoline b mutation in soft wheats. This study explores the genetic link between wheat hardness and puroindolines.
