Abstract

Present global trends for cereal quality requirements are discussed, especially for wheat in relation to end-uses, indicating the direction of breeding and selecting works within the group of the most strategic cultivated crops. There are two new ways of cereal grain utilization, as a rich source of bioactive substances with promoting effect on human health, first of all dietary fibre and its constituents and as a raw material for the production of bioethanol as a biofuel. In the last years many possibilities of improving end-use quality of cereals have been opened due to utilization of molecular techniques of genetic engineering for a transgene introduction. The improvement of cereal quality traits is still possible by exploiting the methods of conventional breeding. Donors of desirable traits can be searched within varieties, presently cultivated and old ones stored in gene banks, as well as among wild and primitive forms.
