Comment	Lutein is one of the carotenoids contributing to flour colour. Esterification of lutein contributes to its stability during storage. A locus controlling esterification was located in chromosome 7D. Loci controlling flour colour were identified and mapped in a recombinant inbred population derived from Schomburgk/Yarralinka (Parker et al., 1998). Regions in 3A and 7A accounted for 13% and 60% of the genetic variation, respectively, and Xbcd828-3A, Xcdo347-7A and Xwg232-7A.1 were significantly associated with flour colour. The association was highly significant in all three replicates only for the 7A QTL. Symbols were not assigned to the flour colour loci.
