Objectives 6:
Genetics of Seed Quality Traits

To establish and promote effective communication between the major players responsible for the genetic improvement of pulse crops.
This will involve:


a) expansion of Objective 1 to include industrial end users within the range of interested parties

b) wide consultation with a wide range of industries to define priority seed quality traits

c) development of tools and definition of protocols for analysis of these traits

d) establishment and analysis of recombinant inbred populations that segregate for key traits in relation to seed and protein quality, as defined by these end-users

e) de novo satellite projects with industry to exploit this variation
