“…The SNP BA00789946 detected by AX-94524314 was converted into a robust KASP assay and used to genotype the Y34Alt population, giving exactly the same segregation pattern as the corresponding Axiom marker. The marker was then validated using high AX breeding lines developed by Tremmel-Bede et al [20] from crosses between Yumai 34 and conventional cultivars. These lines were selected by determining the contents of WE-AX and TOT-AX in white flour, showing increases in WE-AX of about 0.5% and in TOT-AX of about 1% compared to the conventional parents.…”

Dietary fibre (DF) has multiple health benefits and wheat grains are major sources of DF for human health. However, DF is depleted in white wheat flour which is more widely consumed than wholegrain. The major DF component in white flour is the cell wall polysaccharide arabinoxylan (AX). We have identified the Chinese wheat cultivar Yumai 34 as having unusually high contents of AX in both water-soluble and insoluble forms. We have therefore used populations generated from crosses between Yumai 34 and four other wheat cultivars, three with average contents of AX (Ukrainka, Altigo and Claire) and one also having unusually high AX (Valoris), in order to map QTLs for soluble AX (determined as relative viscosity of aqueous extracts of wholemeal flours) and total AX (determined by enzyme fingerprinting of white flour). A number of QTL were mapped, but most were only detected in one or two crosses. However, all four crosses showed strong QTLs for high RV/total AX on chromosome 1B, with Yumai 34 being the increasing parent, and a KASP marker for the Yumai 34 high AX allele was validated by analysis of high AX lines derived from Yumai 34 but selected by biochemical analysis. A QTL for RV was also mapped on chromosome 6B in Yumai 34 x Valoris, with Valoris being the increasing allele, which is consistent with the observation of transgressive segregation for this population. Association studies in an independent germplasm panel identified marker trait associations for relative viscosity in these same locations while direct selection for fibre content in breeding resulted in high levels of enrichment for the Yumai 34 1B allele. The data therefore indicate that marker-assisted breeding can be used to develop wheat with high AX fibre in white flour.

Potential innovation in Plant research through the use of gene-edited and genetically modified plants iscurrently being hindered by inefficient and costly plant transformation. We show that naturally occurring carbon dots (quasi-spherical, <10nm nanoparticles) can act as a fast vehicle for carrying plasmids into mature plant cells, resulting in transient plant transformation in a number of important crop species with no negative impacts on photosynthesis or growth. We further show that GFP, Cas9, and gRNA introduced into wheat via foliar application (spraying on) of plasmid coated carbon dots are expressed and, in the case of Cas9, make genome edits in SPO11 genes. Therefore, we present a protocol for spray-on gene editing that is simple, inexpensive, fast, transforms in planta, and is applicable to multiple crop species. We believe this technique creates many opportunities for the future of plant transformation in research and shows great promise for plant protein production systems.Recent advances in plant biotech, particularly manipulation of photosynthesis, have shown the ability to obtain huge increases in plant efficiency and yield. For example, the RIPE project 1 obtained up to a 15% increase in biomass 2 and a ∼40% increase in productivity 3 by reducing photoprotection latency times and by avoiding photorespiration. These examples show the true power of GM -not only could these changes increase global food security (a growing issue with our population still increasing 4,5 , and climate change conferring multiple environmental stresses 6-8 ), but since these advances also increase the amount of carbon being fixed, it could have potential for also mitigating climate change 9,10 . This is important because, as noted, the effects of climate change exacerbate food insecurity further.Plant biotechnology can also enhance food security and biomass production by improving crop resistance to herbivores, pests, and environmental stresses. Additionally, GM techniques can enhance the nutritional value of the food produced, as seen with purple tomatoes 11,12 , enhancing the lipid content of oil crops to provide an alternative to dwindling fish oil stocks 13,14 and improving the quality of staple crops such as wheat 15,16 .However, the scope extends beyond edible compounds, as plant biotech is allowing the production of biofuels 17 , and has shown success producing pharmaceuticals 18 , including the efficient and speedy production of vaccines 19 .

All plant transformation must currently utilise either Agrobacterium tumefaciens 21 , biolistics 22 , or regeneration from PEG transformed protoplasts 23 , as a vehicle to introduce DNA, regardless of whether the changes are transient (n...

Background and Objectives Increasing evidence has shown the potential for foods made from anthocyanin‐rich cereal grains to reduce the development and progression of many degenerative chronic diseases. Among cereals, only pigmented rice and maize have been used for food production, whereas for blue and purple wheat grains the food industry has been more limited. In light of this, the present study was aimed at characterizing the whole meal, bran, and flour of the blue bread wheat “Sebesta Blue‐2” and the purple durum wheats “T‐1303” and “‘ELS 6304‐56” in relation to their total phenolic content (TPC), total proanthocyanidin content (TPrC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), and total antioxidant activity (TAA) determined spectrophotometrically, and their anthocyanin profile and TAC determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (TACHPLC). Findings Among the milling fractions, the bran showed the highest phytochemical content and antioxidant activity, with values 1.6–8.3‐ and 4.0–9.3‐fold higher than those observed in the whole meal and flour, respectively. Among genotypes, the highest phytochemical content and antioxidant activity were observed in Sebesta Blue‐2, followed by T‐1303 and ELS 6304‐56. The strongest differences among genotypes concerned the TACHPLC, with values that in Sebesta Blue‐2 were 4.8‐ and 14.1‐fold higher than T‐1303 and ELS 6304‐56, respectively. Multivariate analysis highlighted the best profile in terms of phytochemical content and antioxidant activity in the bran of Sebesta Blue‐2 with very high values of TPC, TPrC, glycosylated anthocyanins, and TAA, followed by the bran of T‐1303, with high‐to‐very high values of TPC, TPrC, anthocyanins and TAA, and the whole meal of Sebesta Blue‐2, with high values of glycosylated anthocyanins and intermediate values of TPC, TPrC, and TAA. Conclusions The bran of Sebesta Blue‐2 and T‐1303 could be used as an additive in cereal‐based fortified‐functional foods or could be further processed to produce nutraceutical supplements. The whole meal of Sebesta Blue‐2 could be used as starting material for the preparation of baked products rich in health‐promoting compounds. Significance and novelty The present study is one of the few studies to report the anthocyanin profile for the milling fractions of pigmented grains and is the first to report the existence of proanthocyanidins in blue and purple wheat grains and their milling fractions.
