Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Two allelic variants of Pp-A3 and Pp-B1 were identified in purple durum wheat. Molecular markers at both loci were developed and validated on an independent panel, offering a breakthrough for wheat improvement. Purple wheats are a class of cereals with pigmented kernels of particular interest for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Although two complementary loci (Pp-B1 and Pp-A3),...
