This collection contains raw read sequences, aligned sequences, results, and reports of RNA sequences collected from 24 wheat samples. These results are outputs of the GRDC-funded project: Genetic approaches to reduce the nitrogen dilution effect and increase nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in wheat (UMU00048). The nitrogen dilution effect refers to the observation that high wheat yields are often associated with low GPC. As grain protein is a key determinant of price, growers seek to maintain both high yield and high GPC. This investment seeks to confirm recent gene network discoveries in relation to quantitative and allelic effects on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and GPC. New gene resources for high NUE and GPC will be targeted through gene mapping and cloning, accompanied by mechanistic studies at the molecular level. Genetic resources and molecular markers will be provided to breeding companies to allow increasing GPC while maintaining yield

This collection contains phenotype and statistically analyzed data of over 20 agronomic traits, including grain protein concentration (GPC), biomass, grain weight, grain yield, spike/peduncle/stem length, seed-related traits, thousand kernel weight (TKW), and date to anthesis. The phenotype data were collected from a collection of approximately 900 wheat accessions from 2017 to 2020.
