Cover Story: Yellow pigment content is one of the main quality traits in durum wheat. This is mainly determined by carotenoids. Although lutein is the most abundant in wheat endosperm other carotenoids such as zeaxanthin, α-carotene and β-carotene are also present in minor quantities. In this work, we identified new marker trait associations (MTAs) for total carotenoid content and individual carotenoids from a durum wheat landrace diversity panel. The co-location of these MTAs with previously described QTL and candidate genes allowed identifying candidate genes from the carotenoid, the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP), and the isopentenyl diphosphate (IPPI) pathways as potential sources of untapped variation for carotenoid improvement.
