Abstract

As part of an integrated approach to developing the potential of L. luteus and L. angustifolius in the UK, we have initiated a germplasm improvement program based initially mainly on field selection. Progress has been made with respect to yield and on going studies, including experiments carried out in flowing solution culture, are focusing on enhancing growth under alkaline soil conditions. This work is being combined with the development of new mapping families and the use of molecular markers.
