In wheat, starch and protein accumulate in the endosperm, whereas most phytonutrients are found in the Aleurone layer (AL). The AL is the outermost layer of the endosperm and is removed with the bran during conventional milling. This study investigates the genetic diversity of wheat Aleurone layers through the analysis of thousands of mutant lines. Studying genetic diversity is crucial for breeding programs, especially in elucidating the genetic variability available to breeders. We systematically cut grains from diverse mutant populations and examine the resulting seeds under a high-resolution microscope. Targeted mutagenesis and molecular screening are employed to identify genetic mutations responsible for phenotypic variations. Our approach aims to identify and characterize mutant seeds exhibiting alterations in the Aleurone layer, shedding light on the genetic factors influencing its development. We aim to identify novel genetic markers associated with Aleurone layer development and provide a comprehensive catalog of mutant lines exhibiting diverse Aleurone phenotypes. By elucidating the genetic basis of Aleurone layer variability, this research not only expands our understanding of wheat biology but also offers valuable insights for crop improvement strategies. These findings will be used in future breeding programs, contributing to the development of wheat varieties with enhanced nutritional content, stress tolerance, and overall yield.
