Abstract
Efficient wheat transformation systems, incorporating clean-gene technologies and strong tissue-specific or developmentally regulated promoter sequences will provide novel germplasm for conventional cereal breeding programmes and is also a platform technology with which to study gene function and to identify novel wheat genes via tagging. Gene functional analysis is more flexible in diploid wheat than hexaploid wheat. For this reason, and in order to exploit potentially valuable genes located in diploid wheat genotypes we aim to develop tissue culture and DNA delivery protocols for diploid wheat species, focussing on the likely progenitors of current commercial wheat.
