“…Previous studies also indicated a major QTL for Cd uptake on chromosome 5B ( Knox et al 2009 ; Wiebe et al 2010 ; AbuHammad et al 2016 ). AbuHammad et al (2016) placed the major Cd QTL among markers that explained 54.3% of variation in grain Cd accumulation. In addition to QCdu.ndsu-5B , two QTL with a minor effect were also identified, one each on chromosomes 4B and 4A ( Figure 2 and Table 2 ) designated QCdu.ndsu-4B and QCdu.ndsu-4A , respectively.…”

“…This study is the first to report the use of a high-density 90K SNPs assay for dissection of Cd uptake in wheat, suggesting a more robust QTL detection approach compared to previous QTL mapping studies. A recent study on the genetic dissection of Cd in durum wheat used 9K iSelect SNP array and 255 SSRs to assign a total of 330 markers on the whole durum genome ( AbuHammad et al 2016 ). The framework linkage map in this study assigned more SNPs onto the B-genome compared to the A-genome.…”

“…SNP markers linked to the Cd accumulation locus in some North Dakota durum cultivars were recently reported by AbuHammad et al (2016) . In that study, the SNP marker IWA1775 was found tightly associated with grain Cd content.…”

“…The RAPD marker OPC20 and the KASPar genotyping assay developed from the SNP marker IWA1775 were able to separate low Cd content lines from high Cd content lines ( AbuHammad et al 2016 ). However, the populations used by AbuHammad et al (2016) have parental backgrounds from two main sources of low grain Cd; the Canadian cultivar Strongfield ( Clarke et al 2005 ), and the Syrian cultivar Hurrani. Strongfield is adapted to the western part of the North Dakota durum-growing region, whereas Hurrani is unadapted for this region.…”

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that has no known biological function and is toxic for many living organisms. The maximum level of Cd concentration allowed in the international market for wheat grain is 0.2 mg kg−1. Because phenotyping for Cd uptake is expensive and time consuming, molecular markers associated with genes conferring low Cd uptake would expedite selection and lead to the development of durum cultivars with reduced Cd concentrations. Here, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with a novel low Cd uptake locus in the durum experimental line D041735, which has hexaploid common wheat in its pedigree. Genetic analysis revealed a single major QTL for Cd uptake on chromosome arm 5BL within a 0.3 cM interval flanked by SNP markers. Analysis of the intervening sequence revealed a gene with homology to an aluminum-induced protein as a candidate gene. Validation and allelism tests revealed that the low Cd uptake gene identified in this study is different from the closely linked Cdu1-B gene, which also resides on 5BL. This study therefore showed that the durum experimental line D041735 contains a novel low Cd uptake gene that was likely acquired from hexaploid wheat.

“…Similarly, Penner et al (1995) detected a dominant random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker (OPC-20) for low Cd uptake in western Canadian durum wheat [88]. An SNP marker (IWA1775) on chromosome 5BL was found to be associated with grain Cd content in durum wheat cultivars [89]. The associated QTL explained 54.3% of phenotypic variation, and it was further was converted to the user-friendly KASPar assay in order to discern Cd-resistant lines.…”

Farmland cadmium (Cd) contamination has adverse impacts on both wheat grain yield and people’s well-being through food consumption. Safe farming using low-Cd cultivars has been proposed as a promising approach to address the farmland Cd pollution problem. To date, several dozen low-Cd wheat cultivars have been screened worldwide based on a Cd inhibition test, representing candidates for wheat Cd minimization. Unfortunately, the breeding of low-Cd wheat cultivars with desired traits or enhanced Cd exclusion has not been extensively explored. Moreover, the wheat Cd inhibition test for variety screening and conventional breeding is expensive and time-consuming. As an alternative, low-Cd wheat cultivars that were developed with molecular genetics and breeding approaches can be promising, typically by the association of marker-assisted selection (MAS) with conventional breeding practices. In this review, we provide a synthetics view of the background and knowledge basis for the breeding of low-Cd wheat cultivars.

Durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum (Desf.)] is mainly used for the production of pasta, couscous, and bulgur. Spring durum wheat cultivar 'ND Grano' (Reg. no. CV-1186, PI 687795) was released in 2017 and is adapted to North Dakota and surrounding regions. It was developed by the durum breeding program at North Dakota State University and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. ND Grano was tested as D09557 in the yield trials and has the pedigree D00752/DH01146. In field trials, ND Grano showed high grain yield potential, disease resistance, excellent end-use qualities, and low cadmium uptake. Based on data from 34 location-years of testing in the Uniform Regional Durum Nursery, the average grain yield of ND Grano was 4,008 kg ha -1 , compared with 3,867 kg ha -1 for 'Divide' and 3,978 kg ha -1 for 'Joppa'. ND Grano has very strong dough mixing characteristics and a high gluten index. Fusarium head blight (FHB) tolerance of ND Grano is similar to Divide. ND Grano is also resistant to predominant races of stem rust.
