Influence of variety and growing location on carotenoid and vitamin E contents of 184 different durum wheat varieties (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) in Germany
Influence of variety and growing location on carotenoid and vitamin E contents of 184 different durum wheat varieties (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) in Germany
Abstract (English)
The influence of variety and growing location on the carotenoid and vitamin E content of 184 different varieties of durum wheat of each of the German locations Hohenheim and Seligenstadt was analyzed by HPLC. In addition, the yellow pigment content was measured as b value using a chroma meter. The results showed that the measured parameters vary both between sites and varieties, with higher variance between varieties. Finally, we elaborated a high genetic variance and heritability for lutein and total carotenoids and no negative correlations to important agronomic and quality traits in durum wheat. Thus, future durum breeding could produce varieties with improved agronomy, quality, and increased contents of lutein and total carotenoids. Vitamin E has only a minor importance due to the low contents in durum wheat. Due to the high correlation between the b value and the total carotenoid content, the b value could be used as a cheap and rapid method to initially screen high numbers of breeding lines before testing individual promising breeding lines with HPLC, warranting efficient and accurate selection of durum lines with increased carotenoid content.
