Abstract
The present application relates to methods for wheat with increased dietary fiber. Methods of increasing dietary fiber by providing mutations in Wheat Prolamin-box Binding Factor are disclosed.
Claims24
A method of increasing fiber in a wheat grain, said method comprising:
- providing a wheat plant or plant part comprising a Wheat Prolamin-box Binding Factor (WPBF) gene and
- introducing a human-induced mutation into the WPBF gene, wherein the mutation is effective to create a wheat plant capable of producing wheat grain with increased fiber compared to wheat grain from a wheat plant not having the mutation.
A method of producing dietary fiber, said method comprising:
- providing a wheat plant comprising a human-induced mutation in a Wheat Prolamin-box Binding Factor (WPBF) gene, wherein said mutation causes the wheat plant to produce grain with increased fiber compared to a wheat plant without the mutation and
- obtaining fiber from the grain of the wheat plant.
