Breadmaking functionality of wheat

Wheat is unique in its ability to form a dough that is able to retain fermentation gases to produce the highly aerated structure that is distinctive of bread. Different wheats vary in their breadmaking potential. This project will investigate new tests of breadmaking potential of wheat, relevant to early generation testing for wheat breeding programmes.
