We have identified novel wheat alleles that are predicted to confer low viscosity to grain extracts. This is a very desirable trait for the grain distilling industry which would result in decreased process down time. Introduction of these alleles into breeding streams to make a new variety is a long process but has been already initiated. In this project we will carry out the next steps in the development of a commercial variety to facilitate the right decisions at the earliest point. Crucially we will also gain early evidence on the success of this novel technology which will be used to convince the distilling industry so that they provide the "pull" for the development of a new commercial wheat variety beyond the project end. This is a resubmission but the project plan is completely reformulated; we also emphasise (1) the large financial commitment made by the wheat breeder Limagrain to this project and (2) the critical importance of Agritech funding for development of the new variety to succeed.

我们已经确定了新的小麦等位基因，预计赋予低粘度的谷物提取物。这对于谷物蒸馏工业来说是非常理想的特性，其将导致减少的过程停机时间。将这些等位基因引入育种流以产生新品种是一个漫长的过程，但已经开始。在这个项目中，我们将开展商业品种开发的下一步工作，以便尽早做出正确的决定。至关重要的是，我们还将获得有关这项新技术成功的早期证据，这些证据将用于说服蒸馏行业，以便他们在项目结束后为开发新的商业小麦品种提供“拉力”。这是一个重新提交，但项目计划是完全重新制定的;我们还强调（1）小麦育种家Limagrain对该项目的大量财务承诺和（2）Agritech资助对新品种开发的关键重要性。
