WHEAT WITH ELEVATED FRUCTAN, ARABINOXYLAN

摘要

This invention relates to methods for identifying wheat plants that having increased fructan/arabinoxylan. The methods use molecular markers to identify and to select plants with increased fructan/arabinoxylan or to identify and deselect plants with decreased fructan/arabinoxylan. Wheat plants generated by the methods of the invention are also a feature of the invention.

1. A method of identifying a wheat plant that comprising at least one allele of a marker locus wherein the method comprises:
a. obtaining a wheat plant sample; and b. detecting an increased fructan/arabinoxylan allele of a marker locus located within a chromosomal interval comprising and flanked by a left and right interval marker for QTL 1A, QTL 1B, QTL 2B-1, QTL 2B-2, QTL 2D, QTL 6B, QTL 7A-1, QTL 7A-2, or QTL 7B.
