Abstract
This project aims to identify characters contributing to standing ability in peas by analysing in detail cell wall components and stem architecture. It uses a multidisciplinary approach using morphological, chemical, physical, microscopical (including infrared microspectroscopy) techniques coupled to genetic variation with the ultimate goal of identifying the genetic basis of straw strength. From the information acquired in the project, it should be possible in the future to carry out the biorational manipulation of standing ability by conventional plant breeding or by genetic manipulation to the benefit of pea growers and users in the food and feed industries.
