Abstract
We will develop mRNA in situ hybridisation into a systematic, high throughput technique which can be used to survey the expression within tissues and organisms of large numbers of genes. This proposal will develop the necessary technology and apply it to gene and promoter discovery in the development of wheat endosperm, in collaboration with Zeneca Wheat Improvement Centre. The ultimate utility of identifying such genes and promoters will be both to manipulate grain yield and/or quality directly, and to provide a set of specific markers for screening existing accession libraries in more conventional breeding programs.
