Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: Lpx-B1.1
  • Gene Name: lipoxygenase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Triticum turgidum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Insight into durum wheat Lpx-B1: a small gene family coding for the lipoxygenase responsible for carotenoid bleaching in mature grains.
  • Two Lpx-1 genes have been identified on chromosome 4B, Lpx-B1.1 and Lpx-B1.2, and evidences have been reported that the deletion of Lpx-B1.1 is associated with a strong reduction in LOX activity in semolina.
  • In this germplasm collection, the Lpx-B1 gene family accounts for most of the total LOX activity in the mature grains.
  • Information on these Lpx-B1 haplotypes provides significant improvement for prediction of LOX-1 activity levels in mature grains, and will therefore help in breeding programmes aimed at selection of new durum wheat genotypes with higher carotenoid contents in their end products.
