Abstract
To facilitate matching end users¿ requirements to appropriate raw material through targeted wheat breeding via the development of genetic maps for processing quality. Evaluation of experimental populations of doubled haploid lines between parents representing 'key' variation in UK winter wheat germplasm for processing quality traits will be conducted. Major gene and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping techniques will be used to map genes, leading to the discovery of novel genes and pathways that can be exploited by plant breeders to improve UK wheat germplasm and lead to improved raw material for processors.
