The Triticeae crops comprise wheat, barley, rye and triticale, which together provide a major portion of the world’s food and feed. The growing demand for human nutrition and renewable energy requires an intensification in application-oriented research and the establishment and utilization of current biotechnology in these crops. Genetic transformation provides an important means both to elucidate gene function, and to engineer crop plants in a directed and precise way. This review covers a range of issues surrounding the production of stable transgenic lines within the Triticeae. Some quality aspects of transgenesis of particular relevance to the Triticeae are also discussed.
