Abstract
Harder kernels of barley are regarded as one of the factors that restrict water and enzyme movement within the endosperm during malting. A comprehensive study of two domestic varieties was performed for evaluating malting quality. Both β-glucan and total protein content of the Chinese domestic barley (Ganpi-6 and Kenpi-14) were significantly higher than Copeland. Grain hardness of the Chinese domestic barley was higher and water uptake ratio was lower compared with the Copeland. During germination, the expression levels of NCED1, NCED2 (major key regulatory enzymes for abscisic acid biosynthesis genes) were higher, whereas gibberelic acid (GA) synthesis genes (GA20ox1, GA2ox3, GA3ox2) were lower in the Ganpi-6, Kenpi-14 compared with Copeland. These two domestic barley varieties also showed significantly lower limit dextrinase and β-glucanase activity compared with Copeland. Ultrasound treatment improved the malting quality of Ganpi-6 by enhancing water uptake and GA synthesis gene expression increased. Therefore, these findings provided insights into the future direction on the utilization of ultrasonication for the applications towards the improvement of the harder barley variety.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1356687.

Abstract
Grain hardness (Gh) is important for wheat processing and end-product quality. Puroindolines polymorphism explains over 60% of Gh variation and the novel genetic factors remain to be exploited. In this study, a total of 153 quantitative trait loci (QTLs), clustered into 12 genomic intervals (C1-C12), for 13 quality-related traits were identified using a recombinant inbred line population derived from the cross of Zhongkemai138 (ZKM138) and Chuanmai44 (CM44). Among them, C7 (harboring eight QTLs for different quality-related traits) and C8 (mainly harboring QGh.cib-5D.1 for Gh) were attributed to the famous genes, Rht-D1 and Pina, respectively, indicating that the correlation of involved traits was supported by the pleotropic or linked genes. Notably, a novel major stable QTL for Gh was detected in the C12, QGh.cib-7D, with ZKM138-derived allele increasing grain hardness, which was simultaneously mapped by the BSE-Seq method. The geographic pattern and transmissibility of this locus revealed that the increasing-Gh allele is highly frequently present in 85.79% of 373 worldwide wheat varieties and presented 99.31% transmissibility in 144 ZKM138-derivatives, indicating the non-negative effect on yield performance and that its indirect passive selection has happened during the actual breeding process. Thus, the contribution of this new Gh-related locus was highlighted in consideration of improving the efficiency and accuracy of the soft/hard material selection in the molecular marker-assisted process. Further, TraesCS7D02G099400, TraesCS7D02G098000, and TraesCS7D02G099500 were initially deduced to be the most potential candidate genes of QGh.cib-7D. Collectively, this study provided valuable information of elucidating the genetic architecture of Gh for wheat quality improvement.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:1979. [PMID: 37653896 PMCID: PMC10224366 DOI: 10.3390/plants12101979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Premium wheat with a high end-use quality is generally lacking in China, especially high-quality hard and soft wheat. Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 (puroindoline genes) influence wheat grain hardness (i.e., important wheat quality-related parameter) and are among the main targets in wheat breeding programs. However, the mechanism by which puroindoline genes control grain hardness remains unclear. In this study, three hard wheat puroindoline variants (MY26, GX3, and ZM1) were compared with a soft wheat variety (CM605) containing the wild-type puroindoline genotype. Specifically, proteomic methods were used to screen for differentially abundant proteins (DAPs). In total, 6253 proteins were identified and quantified via a high-throughput tandem mass tag quantitative proteomic analysis. Of the 208 DAPs, 115, 116, and 99 proteins were differentially expressed between MY26, GX3, and ZM1 (hard wheat varieties) and CM605, respectively. The cluster analysis of protein relative abundances divided the proteins into six clusters. Of these proteins, 67 and 41 proteins were, respectively, more and less abundant in CM605 than in MY26, GX3, and ZM1. Enrichment analyses detected six GO terms, five KEGG pathways, and five IPR terms that were shared by all three comparisons. Furthermore, 12 proteins associated with these terms or pathways were found to be differentially expressed in each comparison. These proteins, which included cysteine proteinase inhibitors, invertases, low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits, and alpha amylase inhibitors, may be involved in the regulation of grain hardness. The candidate genes identified in this study may be relevant for future analyses of the regulatory mechanism underlying grain hardness.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, and, as a resilient cereal, it grows in various climatic zones. Due to changing climatic conditions and naturally occurring environmental fluctuations, the priority problem in the cultivation of wheat is to improve the quality of the crop. Biotic and abiotic stressors are known factors leading to the deterioration of wheat grain quality and to crop yield reduction. The current state of knowledge on wheat genetics shows significant progress in the analysis of gluten, starch, and lipid genes responsible for the synthesis of the main nutrients in the endosperm of common wheat grain. By identifying these genes through transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics studies, we influence the creation of high-quality wheat. In this review, previous works were assessed to investigate the significance of genes, puroindolines, starches, lipids, and the impact of environmental factors, as well as their effects on the wheat grain quality.

Abstract
The grain hardness index (HI) is one of the important reference bases for wheat quality and commodity properties; therefore, it is essential and useful to identify loci associated with the HI in wheat breeding. The grain hardness index of the natural population including 150 common wheat genotypes was measured in this study. The phenotypic data diversity of HI based on four environments and the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) was analyzed. The results showed that the grain HI of the natural population ranged from 15.00 to 83.00, the variation range was from 5.10% to 24.44%, and the correlation coefficient was 0.872–0.980. BLUP value was used to grade and assign the grain HI to hard wheat, mixed wheat, and soft wheat, and the assigned phenotypes were used for genome-wide association analysis. Two types of grain hardness index phenotypic values were used for genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using a 55K SNP array. A total of five significant association loci (p < 0.001) were excavated, among which four loci could be detected in three or more environments. They were distributed on chromosomes 1A and 7D, and the phenotypic contribution rate was 7.52% to 10.66%. A total of 48 sites related to grain hardness were detected by the assignment method, among which five were stable genetic sites, distributed on chromosomes 1A(2), 3B(1), 4B(1), and 7D(1), with phenotypic contribution rates ranging from 7.63% to 11.12%. Of the five loci detected by the assignment method, two stable loci were co-located in the phenotypic mapping results of the hardness index. One of the loci was consistent with previous reports and located on chromosome 1A, and one locus was unreported on chromosome 7D. Therefore, it may be a feasible attempt to use the assignment method to conduct genome-wide association analysis of the grain hardness index. In this study, a total of five genetic loci for grain hardness stability were excavated, and two of the loci were located in the two phenotypic values, two of which were not reported.

Abstract
Wheat is the most important source of food, feed, and nutrition for humans and livestock around the world. The expanding population has increasing demands for various wheat products with different quality attributes requiring the development of wheat cultivars that fulfills specific demands of end-users including millers and bakers in the international market. Therefore, wheat breeding programs continually strive to meet these quality standards by screening their improved breeding lines every year. However, the direct measurement of various end-use quality traits such as milling and baking qualities requires a large quantity of grain, traits-specific expensive instruments, time, and an expert workforce which limits the screening process. With the advancement of sequencing technologies, the study of the entire plant genome is possible, and genetic mapping techniques such as quantitative trait locus mapping and genome-wide association studies have enabled researchers to identify loci/genes associated with various end-use quality traits in wheat. Modern breeding techniques such as marker-assisted selection and genomic selection allow the utilization of these genomic resources for the prediction of quality attributes with high accuracy and efficiency which speeds up crop improvement and cultivar development endeavors. In addition, the candidate gene approach through functional as well as comparative genomics has facilitated the translation of the genomic information from several crop species including wild relatives to wheat. This review discusses the various end-use quality traits of wheat, their genetic control mechanisms, the use of genetics and genomics approaches for their improvement, and future challenges and opportunities for wheat breeding.

Abstract
In plants, lipid trafficking within and inside the cell is carried out by lipid-binding and transfer proteins. Ligands for these proteins are building and signaling lipid molecules, secondary metabolites with different biological activities due to which they perform diverse functions in plants. Many different classes of such lipid-binding and transfer proteins have been found, but the most common and represented in plants are lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), pathogenesis-related class 10 (PR-10) proteins, acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs), and puroindolines (PINs). A low degree of amino acid sequence homology but similar spatial structures containing an internal hydrophobic cavity are common features of these classes of proteins. In this review, we summarize the latest known data on the features of these protein classes with particular focus on their ability to bind and transfer lipid ligands. We analyzed the structural features of these proteins, the diversity of their possible ligands, the key amino acids participating in ligand binding, the currently known mechanisms of ligand binding and transferring, as well as prospects for possible application.

Abstract
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops for supplying nutrition and energy to people world. A new genetic map based on the Wheat 55 K SNP array was constructed using recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Zhongkemai138 and Kechengmai2 to explore the genetic foundation for wheat grain features. This new map covered 2,155.72 cM across the 21 wheat chromosomes with 11,455 markers. And 2,846 specific markers for this genetic map and 148 coincident markers among different maps were documented, which was helpful for improving and updating wheat genetic and genomic information. Using this map, a total of 68 additive QTLs and 82 pairs of epistatic QTLs were detected for grain features including yield, nutrient composition, and quality-related traits by QTLNetwork 2.1 and IciMapping 4.1 software. Fourteen additive QTLs and one pair of epistatic QTLs could be detected by both software programs and thus regarded as stable QTLs here, all of which explained higher phenotypic variance and thus could be utilized for wheat grain improvement. Additionally, thirteen additive QTLs were clustered into three genomic intervals (C4D.2, C5D, and C6D2), each of which had at least two stable QTLs. Among them, C4D.2 and C5D have been attributed to the famous dwarfing gene Rht2 and the hardness locus Pina, respectively, while endowed with main effects on eight grain yield/quality related traits and epistatically interacted with each other to control moisture content, indicating that the correlation of involved traits was supported by the pleotropic of individual genes but also regulated by the gene interaction networks. Additionally, the stable additive effect of C6D2 (QMc.cib-6D2 and QTw.cib-6D2) on moisture content was also highlighted, potentially affected by a novel locus, and validated by its flanking Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR marker, and TraesCS6D02G109500, encoding aleurone layer morphogenesis protein, was deduced to be one of the candidate genes for this locus. This result observed at the QTL level the possible contribution of grain water content to the balances among yield, nutrients, and quality properties and reported a possible new locus controlling grain moisture content as well as its linked molecular marker for further grain feature improvement.

Abstract
With the improvement of living standards, consumers’ demand for wheat food is gradually diversified. Biscuit, as a kind of convenience food, becomes a consumer’s leisure snack due to its characteristics such as low processing cost, easy-to-carry and convenient-to-eat traits, long shelf life, diverse varieties, and rich tastes, which have attracted more and more people. Biscuits are composed of four main ingredients, which are flour, fat/oil, sugar, and water, whereas several secondary ingredients also are important sources of high molecular carbohydrates, plant proteins, vitamins, and minerals for human beings. In this study, we systematically summarized the related research of biscuits, including the main types of China’s biscuits, the market demands, and statistics of wheat planting, production, and import in recent ten years, as well as the research of soft wheat breeding for biscuit. The flour consumption of biscuit industry has been maintained at more than 4 million tons, accounting for more than 30% of the flour consumption in food industry. The planting area of wheat in China has stabilized around 22.8 million hectares in 2010–2020, while the yield of wheat has increased 18.0% (20.86 million t) due to the increase of yield per unit of wheat. China’s total annual pastry import bill increased 5 times and the gap between import and export bill of pastry has been increased more than 7 times from 2010 to 2020, suggesting the strong demand of the national pastry market. This research also provides a direction for the future breeding of special soft wheat for biscuits in China.

MOLECULAR BREEDING : NEW STRATEGIES IN PLANT IMPROVEMENT 2022; 42:40. [PMID: 37313507 PMCID: PMC10248618 DOI: 10.1007/s11032-022-01303-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Grain hardness (HI) is a key trait for wheat milling and end-use quality. Puroindoline genes (PINs) are the major genes responsible for grain hardness, but other QTLs also contribute to the trait. Therefore, it is essential to identify loci associated with the HI and allelic variations of PINs in wheat. In the present study, 287 accessions from Shanxi province representing 70 years of wheat breeding were grown in one rainfed and two irrigated conditions to study grain hardness. Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was performed using the 15 K array, and the variability of PIN alleles was investigated. Among the accessions, hard wheat was most common. The broad-sense heritability (H2) among the three environments was 99.5%, suggesting HI was mainly affected by heredity. GWAS identified nine significant marker-trait associations (MTAs), including that PINs, which explained 7.03% to 17.70% of phenotypic variation. Four MTAs on chromosome 2A, 2B, 5A, and 7A were novel loci. As for diversity of PINs, a total of 11 PINs haplotypes were detected, composed of 12 allelic variations of the PIN gene. The most frequent haplotypes were Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1b (43.9%) and Pina-Dla/Pinb-D1p (18.8%), and both the frequency of Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1b and the HI value increased with breeding years were related to local dietary habits probably. A novel double deletion allele of the PINs haplotype was found in Donghei1206. These results will be useful not only in understanding of the genetics of the HI but also in breeding for improved grain texture.

Conservation and Divergence of SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE ( SPL) Gene Family between Wheat and Rice. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042099. [PMID: 35216210 PMCID: PMC8874652 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23042099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) gene family affects plant architecture, panicle structure, and grain development, representing key genes for crop improvements. The objective of the present study is to utilize the well characterized SPLs’ functions in rice to facilitate the functional genomics of TaSPL genes. To achieve these goals, we combined several approaches, including genome-wide analysis of TaSPLs, comparative genomic analysis, expression profiling, and functional study of TaSPL3 in rice. We established the orthologous relationships of 56 TaSPL genes with the corresponding OsSPLs, laying a foundation for the comparison of known SPL functions between wheat and rice. Some TaSPLs exhibited different spatial–temporal expression patterns when compared to their rice orthologs, thus implicating functional divergence. TaSPL2/6/8/10 were identified to respond to different abiotic stresses through the combination of RNA-seq and qPCR expression analysis. Additionally, ectopic expression of TaSPL3 in rice promotes heading dates, affects leaf and stem development, and leads to smaller panicles and decreased yields per panicle. In conclusion, our work provides useful information toward cataloging of the functions of TaSPLs, emphasized the conservation and divergence between TaSPLs and OsSPLs, and identified the important SPL genes for wheat improvement.
