Identification of chromosomal regions in the genetic control of quality traits in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) from the Fertile Crescent

Durum wheat genetic resources from Turkey and Syria are expected to harbor novel alleles for most traits that are of interestto breeders and consumers. However, there have not been sufficient efforts to investigate the genetic structure of this gene pool. In thisstudy, cultivar Kunduru-1149 (selected from one of the unique landraces, Kunduru) from Anatolia was crossed with a Syrian cultivar,Cham1, to produce recombinant inbred lines (RILs) for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. The RIL population was genotypedwith simple sequence repeats, amplified fragment length polymorphism, and seed storage protein markers and analyzed for 9 differentimportant quality traits of durum wheat in 8 different environments in Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon. We identified 59 QTLs of variousquality and rheology traits using single-marker analysis. Some of the QTLs were also reported in earlier studies; however, new majorQTLs were also identified in our QTL mapping population. In future studies, after validation, the markers linked with these QTLs canbe used in marker-assisted durum wheat breeding.
