Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A nuclear-localized G2-like transcription factor, TaGLK-A1 (TraesCS7A02G539600), was identified as a strong candidate gene for grain fructan content in wheat using GWAS, linkage mapping and transcriptome analysis. Fructans, a type of natural polysaccharides or oligosaccharides polymerized from fructose molecules, play important physiological roles in crops and confer great health benefits to humans....
