Grain protein content (GPC) is a quantitative trait that strongly influences wheat processing quality and end-product performance, but is highly affected by environmental conditions. This study aimed to identify QTLs associated with GPC using Korean wheat resources and assess the usefulness of linked markers for selection. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population (F₇ and F₈; n=359) derived from ‘Joongmo2008’ × ‘Joah’ was genotyped with a 35 K SNP array, and QTL mapping was conducted using 4,891 filtered SNPs. Six QTLs were detected, and a major QTL on chromosome 3 B (Qgpc-3B) was consistently identified in both generations. Within the Qgpc-3B interval, lines carrying the ‘Joongmo2008’ alleles at AX-95163812 and AX-94495360 showed higher GPC, and the same trend was confirmed by a two-marker haplotype analysis. The direction of marker effects was also reproduced in a Korean wheat germplasm panel, suggesting that these markers have strong potential as practical selection indices for improving GPC in wheat breeding programs.

Abstract
PDF

A new winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar “Hwanggeumal” was developed by the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) Rular Development Administration (RDA) in 2019. Its heading date was April 20, and its maturity date was June 1, which was similar to that of Jokyung. “Hwanggeumal” had a shorter culm length (75 cm) and spike length (7.1 cm). However, it had lower spikes per m² (699) and 1,000-grain weight (44.2 g) than “Jokyung” (78 cm, 8.2 cm, 776, 46.6 g, respectively). “Hwanggeumal” displayed stronger winter hardiness than “Jokyung”, and was susceptible to powdery mildew (PM) and fusarium head blight (FHB). The average grain yield in the advanced yield trial (AYT) was 6.20 MT/ha, which was 11% more than “Jokyung”. In the regional yield trial (RYT) it was 5.13 MT/ha in upland and 4.77 MT/ha in paddy field, which were 16% and 13% less than “Jokyung”, respectively. “Hwanggeumal”s flour yield (71.4%) and flour lightness (91.82) was similar to that of “Jokyung”, while the protein content (14.0%), gluten content (10.3%), and SDS-sedimentation volume (60.3 ml) were higher than that of “Jokyung”. These results display that the “Hwanggeumal” dough strength of flour is stronger than “Jokyung”. High molecular weight gluten subunit (HMW-GS) composition is Glu-D1d (5+10), the granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) composition are Wx-A1a, Wx-B1b, and Wx-D1a, and the composition of puroindolines are Pina-D1a and Pinb-D1b (Registration No. 9173).

Abstract

Powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) significantly affects wheat yield and flour quality. Plant resistance to powdery mildew has been investigated for decades, and numerous resistance genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for molecular markers have been discovered. In Korea, powdery mildew occurs initially in spring, due to frequent rain and low temperatures, becoming severe during the harvest season. In Korea, systematic monitoring and quantitative and qualitative impact assessments of powdery mildew outbreaks have never been conducted properly. Herein, the lifecycle of powdery mildew, resistance genes, QTLs, and selection markers in wheat were examined to elucidate powdery mildew resistance, develop resistant varieties, and genetic markers suitable for the domestic environment.

Abstract
PDF

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a severe disease of wheat, mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum, which greatly reduces wheat production and directly affects human and animal health due to the mycotoxins produced in wheat grains. To develop high-quality, stable yields, and mycotoxin-free crop, it is essential to first understand the genetic basis of wheat FHB-resistance, and to design molecular markers facilitating the selection of FHB-resistant varieties. However, despite extensive global research efforts, genetic research and marker development for the selection of FHB-resistant varieties, in Korea, are insufficient. Here, we summarize recent studies on FHB-resistance genes, resistance resources, quantitative trait locus analysis, and genome-wide association studies to enhance our understanding of FHB and the breeding of FHB-resistant domestic wheat cultivars.
