WP2: Phenotyping of minor cereals to determine the potential for developing new commercial varieties

Objectives
Selected promising genotypes of oat, spelt and rye and their CWR will undergo phenotypic evaluation to be carried out at 6 locations in 5 countries (Switzerland, Austria and Estonia: spelt; Czech Republic and Estonia: oats; Czech Republic and Estonia: rye, Czech Republic: CWR, Turkey: spelt, rye and oat). Identified genotypes of interest will be used for agronomy research, nutritional analysis and developing of processing/fortification strategies. WP2 will also initiate crossing of the most promising genotypes to eventually create new varieties of minor cereals.
