Bread wheat with enhanced grain carotenoid content: a novel option for wheat biofortification
2022
Overview
Colored wheat has piqued the interest of breeders and consumers alike. The chromosomal segment from 7E of
Thinopyrum ponticum
, which carries a leaf rust resistant gene,
Lr19
, has been rarely employed in wheat breeding operations due to its association with the
Y
gene, which gives a yellow tint to the flour. By prioritizing nutritional content over color preferences, consumer acceptance has undergone a paradigm change. Through marker-assisted backcross breeding, we introduced an alien segment harboring the
Y
(
PsyE1
) gene into a high yielding commercial bread wheat (HD 2967) background to generate rust resistant carotenoid biofortified bread wheat. Agro-morphological characterization was also performed on a subset of developed 70 lines having enhanced grain carotene content. In the introgression lines, carotenoid profiling using HPLC analysis demonstrated a considerable increase in β-carotene levels (up to 12 ppm). Thus, the developed germplasm caters the threat to nutritional security and can be utilized to produce carotenoid fortified wheat.
