The aim of this project is firstly to determine the yield, quality, and stability of wheat Composite Cross Populations (CCPs) under high and low input management over a wide range of environmental conditions through phenotypic monitoring and analyses; secondly, to analyse genotypic changes using molecular markers which will help to determine the relative importance of different genotypes, gene complexes and genes for phenotypic performance and adaptation; and thirdly to develop the application, processing and marketing capabilities of the CCPs for a range of end users.For the full article please click here.
