Abstract
This project concentrates on various quality traits in wheat. These include: Grain Shape and its relation to hectolitre weight. The Hardness of wheat grains. Genetic control of grain protein content. Areas of genome important in regulating these traits will be identified in crosses between various modern wheat varieties differing in quality through the construction of RFLP/Microsatellite maps. The contribution of individual traits to bread-making quality and hectolitre weight will also be assessed.
