The project deals with development and validation of methods for evaluation of quality characters in winter wheat, as well as with estimation of their heritability and interactions with environment. We intend to study also mutual linkage of quality characters and their possible use in screening of donors, selection in breeding and unbiased employment in evaluation and testing of cultivars and grain quality assessment to meet the demands of processing industry and consumers. Possible application of DNA and protein markers for screening of donors and marker assisted selection will be studied and markers verified, as well. Project objective is to propose methods and procedures for screening in plant genetic resources collections, choice of donors, selection and variety testing the methods should be based on proofed linkage of partial quality characters to final indicators of specific products quality. Selected perspective materials (donors of quality characters) will be evaluated in multi-site field tri (en)
Ověřit popř. vyvinout metody hodnocení kvality pšenice, doporučit jejich využití pro výběr zdrojů, selekci, zkoušení odrůd a hodnocení produkce. Navrhnout využití markerů v selekci. Doporučit využití zhodnocených donorů kvality. (cs)
