- Abstract
Pentosans are quantitatively minor constituents of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), but they influence the end-use and nutritional qualities of grain cereals. Although several studies on the physicochemical properties and genetic basis of pentosans and pentosan-associated traits have been reported, the genetic architecture and determinants of pentosans remained ambiguous. In this research, 107 QTLs for pentosans and pentosan-associated traits were detected based on a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a 1RS/1BL translocation line × non-1RS/1BL translocation line. We identified seven stable expression QTLs for pentosans and one major QTL (Q.HI.scau-7D linked to xwmc634-7D) for hardness index (HI). Q.HI.scau-7D may be the gene responsible for the bimodal HI distribution map. More than one genetic location harbored QTLs for water-soluble pentosan (WSP), and the ratio of WSP content to water-insoluble pentosans (WIP) content (RWW) varied simultaneously, meaning that these loci harbored pleiotropic genes for WSP and RWW. WSP was the main factor in pentosans affecting wheat HI. This study gives a better understanding of the molecular genetics of pentosans and pentosan-related traits, and provides a certain theoretical basis for molecular genetics and breeding for pentosans.
