Breeding cereals for quality improvement

  • Chapter
Cereal Grain Quality

Abstract

Grain quality is increasingly becoming an important factor in grain trading, both internationally and within grain-producing countries. No longer does the term ‘quality’ merely refer to bulk density (plumpness of grain), the absence of extraneous material (e.g. dockage or pesticides) and general soundness. Instead, an increasingly technical market is looking to the breeder to tailor varieties to the wide range of specific processing requirements detailed in Chapters 1 to 7. Not only is the breeder required to ‘build in’ these quality attributes, but also to add genetically-based resistance or tolerance to pests and environmental vagaries which reduce yield and quality.
