Abstract
Cheap human whole genome genotyping is almost upon us. We intent to apply similar procedures to genotype hexaploid wheat. Our initial aim is to genotype around 300 wheat lines with 1000 SNP-based candidate gene markers and analyse the data in association-based studies using phenotype data collected over a number of years. If successful our work will provide a platform (in terms of material and methodology) for cheap on demand genotyping of commercial wheat. This will provide both a significant boost to marker-assisted selection in our most valuable commodity crop and it will provide new insights into the history and possible future direction of wheat breeding.
