Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lycopene is a kind of carotenoid with strong antioxidant capacity and a target molecule for wheat lycopene biofortification. This study employed high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the lycopene content of wheat grains from a Chinese mini-core collection (MCC) wheat containing 262 accessions that were grown in three environments. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a 90K SNP...
