Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A novel gene, TaqW-6AS was discovered on chromosome 6AS which encodes a Class III heme peroxidase influencing WE-AX content in wheat grain. Water-extractable arabinoxylan (WE-AX), a key soluble dietary fiber component, provides various significant health benefits and exhibits notable functional properties. In this study, we detected QTLs for WE-AX content in two populations: a natural population of...
