Genetic variability of carotenoid concentration, and lipoxygenase and peroxidase activities among cultivated wheat species and bread wheat varieties

2006-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Lutein and its stereo-isomer zeaxanthin, are the major carotenoids of wheat grain and function as antioxidants in plants as well as in humans. Dietary intake and serum levels of these xanthophylls have been correlated with a beneficial impact on the development of cataracts, age-related maculopathy and other degenerative diseases. The objective of the present study was to explore the genetic variability of caroten...
