Abstract
The objective of this project is to relate the processing quality of wheat to the composition of the developing and mature grain using material grown under a range of nutrient regimes including long term organic and fertilised systems from the Rothamsted Broadbalk experiment, variety trials and organically grown wheat. Preliminary studies have indicated substantial differences in the transcriptome profiles of wheat grown with artificial fertiliser and with organic fertiliser on Broadbalk and true organic systems. This project will allow data on quality to be integrated with detailed metabolomic and transcriptomic data on Broadbalk and variety trials and enable the studies to be extended to include true organic systems. This will allow new relationships to be established between fertiliser usage, grain metabolism and end use quality.
