Increasing grain yield in CWRS wheat while maintaining grain protein levels and baking quality
A high protein gene (Gpc-B1) from wild emmer wheat is available to wheat breeders High protein lines often have weaker gluten characteristics As part of a recent project with hard white wheat we demonstrated that stacking a high molecular glutenin subunit (Bx7Oe) associated with strong gluten…Read More
Integration of new molecular markers to develop pre-harvest sprouting tolerant cereals
Precocious germination of grains on the spike, termed as Pre-Harvest sprouting (PHS), leads to yield loss and well as quality degradation Various combinations of environmental and genetic factors may eliminate or reduce seed dormancy, resulting in seeds that germinate on the spike PHS presents a…Read More
