QTL mapping for quality traits using a high-density genetic map of wheat.

ABSTRACT: Protein- and starch-related quality traits, which are quantitatively inherited and significantly influenced by the environment, are critical determinants of the end-use quality of wheat. We constructed a high-density genetic map containing 10,739 loci (5,399 unique loci) using a set of 184 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross of 'Tainong 18 × Linmai 6' (TL-RILs). In this study, a quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis was used to examine the genetic control of grain protein content, sedimentation value, farinograph parameters, falling number and the performance of the starch pasting properties using TL-RILs grown in a field for three years. A total of 106 QTLs for 13 quality traits were detected, distributed on the 21 chromosomes. Of these, 38 and 68 QTLs for protein- and
