Abstract

Wheat is the UK's most important agricultural crop and knowledge of the genetical control of agronomic characters is an essential prerequisite for the directed manipulation of crop phenotype for yield stability, disease and pest resistance, stress tolerance and end-use quality by conventional and genetic manipulation means. The project focuses on the development of novel populations and genetical tools and their application to identify and locate the genes for economically important and biologically interesting traits of interest to industry. It combines studies of genetics, physiology, molecular biology and biochemistry. The project also targets the comparative genetic analysis between wheat and other cereal species to integrate the genetics of all the major cereal crops into a common framework.
