Abstract
- Bioactive compounds such as phenols and phytic acid in wheat contribute to antioxidant capacities. (1) Background: Prior studies drew a general conclusion that the environment affected bioactive compounds greatly, but how the single environmental factor affects these characteristics remains unclear. (2) Methods: We conducted that twenty-eight winter wheat genotypes were grown in replicated trials at seven locations in China for two consecutive years and subdivided the environmental factor into five soil factors and six meteorological factors to evaluate the impact on the antioxidant capabilities and bioactive compounds contents of wheat grains by using principal component analysis (PCA). RT-PCR was used to identify gene expression of bioactive compounds under different conditions. (3) Results: Temperature affects bioactive compounds contents and antioxidant capacities greatly in wheat grains. Accumulation time, daylight length, and daily maximum temperature showed a high correlation with bioactive compounds contents and antioxidant capacities, especially in the vegetative growth phase. The gene TaMIPs related to phytic acid and TaPAL1, TaC3H1, TaC4H, Ta4CL1, and TaCOMT1 related to total phenolics had higher gene expression level with larger temperature differences in wheat grains. (4) Conclusions: The planting locations with higher temperatures and longer daylight length could produce higher contents of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacities and the cooler temperatures of a planting location might produce wheat grains with lower phytic acid contents in wheat grains.
