Developing novel types of low protein wheat for breadmaking

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

In this project we will show that sufficient variation exists within wheat germplasm to develop varieties which have greater breadmaking quality at low grain protein content, eliminating the need to apply excess levels of nitrogen fertiliser. This will be facilitated by our ability to develop molecular markers for parameters which determine this trait for use in wheat breeding.
