Abstract

The functional properties of wheat for breadmaking are determined by the amount, composition, structure and interactions of the major grain components (proteins, starch and cell wall polysaccharides) and by the impact that the environment has on these. Transcriptome patterns of doubled haploid populations grown under a range of defined environmental conditions will be related to physical and functional properties in order to identify transcripts and genes that correlate with specific aspects of quality.
