Abstract excerpt
Increasing dietary fibre (DF) intake is an important target to improve health. An attractive strategy for this is to increase DF in wheat which is derived principally from the endosperm cell wall polysaccharide arabinoxylan (AX). The water-extractable form of this (WE-AX) accounts for most soluble dietary fibre (SDF), which is believed to confer particular health benefits. A region of chromosome 6B in some wheat...
