Wheat as a potential source of coloured antioxidants - cumulation of genes for increased content of Anthocyanins and Carotenoids

Original language description

Black wheat is a pigmented wheat developed by crossing purple and blue wheat. The anthocyanin present in the outer layer is responsible for the black colour of wheat grain. It consists of numerous nutritional and bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, carotenoids, phytic acid essential amino acids, dietary fibers, vitamins and minerals. Black wheat (BW) possesses higher protein content, dietary fiber, calcium, Vitamin K, total flavonoid (TFC) and phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity than the conventional yellow wheat. The TPC of BW is six times higher than yellow wheat with most abundant phenolic acid being Ferulic acid. Around 225 metabolites, mainly belonging to flavonoids group differs between black and yellow wheat and are responsible for their color difference. The expression of structural genes, namely TaCHI, TaDFR, TaF3H, TaUGT, TaANS and TaMT were higher in BW than other pigmented and conventional wheat varieties. Consumption of whole BW led to prevention of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, cancer, diabetes, obesity, aging and large bowel protection. Clinical trials have revealed that enhancement of interleukin (IL)-6 induced due to type 2 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α diabetes mellitus was prevented by the BW diet. Nutrient and bioactive compound rich BW offers a great potential to develop healthy functional food. The possibility of cumulating genes for different grain colors into one genotype using gene pyramiding is presented. Poster presentation at Mendel Genetics Conference.
