A collection of 120 Ethiopian tetraploid wheat accessions was analysed for high-molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunit, low-molecular weight (LMW) glutenin subunit and omega gliadin composition by SDS–PAGE. For the HMW glutenin subunits, a new allelic variant, 2****, was detected which has not been previously described at the Glu-A1 locus. A high proportion of Glu-A1x banding pattern was observed in durum wheat. For the Glu-B1 locus four different banding patterns were detected. Among those HMW glutenin subunits, 7+8 were the most common, while subunits 14+15 and 6+8 were found to be rare. A high degree of variation was evident for the LMW glutenin subunits and D-zone omega gliadins. The association of the composition of the gluten with quality has been discussed. This wide variation can be used in improving the quality of wheat and to widen its genetic base.

A large set of durum wheat lines (79 including 8 advanced Australian breeding lines) randomly collected from 11 countries and 11 bread wheat cultivars were grown in replicated trials at 2 field locations to compare yield and gluten quality. Gluten strength, as measured by the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-sedimentation (SDSS) test, varied considerably among the durum lines and was associated with the presence of specific glutenins. Unlike some previous reports, the present study showed that durum wheat cultivars having the high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunits coded by Glu-B1 genes such as 13 + 16 and 7 + 8 were highly correlated with improved dough strength, which was consistent with the effect of HMW glutenin subunits on dough quality in bread wheat. Cultivars having the low molecular weight (LMW) glutenin allele LMW-2 (or gliadin band r-45) generally gave stronger gluten than lines with allele LMW-1, as reported by earlier workers. The LMW pattern LMW-IIt gave the strongest glutenin. The combined better alleles at Glu-B1 (coded bands 13 + 16, 7 + 8 v. 6 + 8, 20) and Glu-3 (patterns LMW- II, LMW-IIt v. LMW-I) showed linear cumulative effects for dough strength. All the durum lines studied had lower SDSS values than the bread wheat controls (45.8 v. 76.2 mL), though durum wheats tended to possess higher grain protein concentrations (14.0 v. 11.9%) and gave lower grain yield than bread wheat. The Australian advanced lines had higher yield and better dough strength than durums from other countries except those from CIMMYT. The Australian lines also had 1-1.5% higher protein concentration and equal or better grain yield than the bread wheat, suggesting that these lines had potential for commercial use.

Diversity Studies

Saharan wheats have been studied particularly from a botanical viewpoint. Genotypic identification, classification and genetic diversity studies to date were essentially based on the morphology of the spike and grain. For this, the allelic variation at the glutenin loci was studied in a set of Saharan bread and durum wheats from Algerian oases where this crop has been traditionally cultivated. The high molecular weight and low molecular weight glutenin subunit composition of 40 Saharan bread and 30 durum wheats was determined by SDS-PAGE. In Saharan bread wheats 32 alleles at the six glutenin loci were detected, which in combination resulted in 36 different patterns including 17 for HMW and 23 for LMW glutenin subunits. For the Saharan durum wheats, 29 different alleles were identified for the five glutenin loci studied. Altogether, 29 glutenin patterns were detected, including 13 for HMW-GS and 20 for LMW-GS. Three new alleles were found in Saharan wheats, two in durum wheat at the Glu-B1 and Glu-B3 loci, and one in bread wheat at the Glu-B1 locus. The mean indices of genetic variation at the six loci in bread wheat and at the five loci in durum wheat were 0.59 and 0.63, respectively, showing that Saharan wheats were more diverse. This information could be useful to select Saharan varieties with improved quality and also as a source of genes to develop new lines when breeding for quality.

Winter Wheat Varieties

The composition of high molecular weight (HMW-GS) and low molecular weight (LMW-GS) glutenin subunits was examined in a collection of 86 Czech registered winter wheat varieties. These proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An inter-varietal polymorphism of the HMW and LMW glutenin subunits was detected. Twenty-one different patterns for HMW were identified, and eighteen for the LMW-glutenins. The different alleles encoded at the six glutenin loci were determined. Three, six, and four alleles were observed, respectively at the <I>Glu-A1, Glu-</I>B1, and <I>Glu-D1 </I>loci (encoding high HMW-GS). Three, eight, and three alleles of LMW-GS were found, respectively, at the <I>Glu-A3, Glu- B3</I>, and <I>Glu-D3 </I>loci. The evaluated varieties were split into four categories of baking quality, and these variety groups were analyzed for the presence of different HMW-GS and LMW-GS alleles. While the alleles <I>Glu-B1c </I>(7+9), and <I>Glu-D1d </I>(5+10) were detected exclusively in bread wheat varieties, the alleles <I>Glu-B1d </I>(6+8), <I>Glu-D1a </I>(2+12), and <I>Glu-A3e/f </I>only occurred in those varieties that are not suitable for bread-making. &nbsp;

Sodium dodecyl sulphate gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSGPAGE) was used to resolve gliadin and high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits from 19 registered Canadian spring wheat cultivars eligible for Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Prairie Spring (CPS) wheat grades and eight nonregistered spring wheat cultivars from the U.S.A. Reproducible molecular weight estimates were obtained for wheat proteins of apparent molecular weights ranging from 34 238 to 136 174 (avg. CV = 0.72%). Eight different patterns of HMW glutenin subunits consisting of 7–11 protein bands were observed for the 27 cultivars and their biotypes. SDSGPAGE was able to discriminate among the majority of cultivars with all non-registered cultivars and their biotypes distinguishable from registered cultivars. Separation of glutenin subunits along with gliadins provided additional protein bands which assisted in the discrimination of cultivars.Key words: SDS gradient PAGE, wheat cultivar identification, gliadin, glutenin subunits

SUMMARYGenes controlling the synthesis of the D group of low-molecular-weight (LMW) subunits of glutenin occur on the short arms of chromosomes 1B and 1 D. Their position on chromosome 1 B, relative to the storage protein loci Glu-B1 (long arm) and Gli-B1 (short arm), was estimated by analysing the backcross-one progeny of two different crosses. To estimate recombination between the D subunit genes and Gli-B1, half grains were analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The Gli-B1 locus contains genes for the B group of LMW glutenin subunits, γ-gliadins and ω-gliadins although only the latter were made use of in this study to distinguish the parental alleles. Additionally, the complementary half grains were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to estimate recombination between Gli-B1 and Glu B1, coding for high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits. The D subunit genes occur at a new locus, provisionally defined as Glu-B2, which lies in between Glu-B1 and Gli-B1, 17 cM from the former and 22 cM from the latter. On the basis of previous mapping data involving Gli-B1, it was concluded that the D subunit genes occur close to the nucleolar organizing region and probably on the short-arm satellite, like Gli-B1.

SummaryOver one hundred backcross-one progeny were analysed by two dimensional electrophoresis to locate the genes on the short arm of chromosome 1D which code for, or control, the D group of LMW glutenin subunits. Recombination between these genes and Glu-D 1, encoding HMW glutenin subunits, was frequent but none could be detected between the D subunit genes and Gli-D1, coding for ω-gliadins, γ-gliadins and the B group of LMW glutenin subunits. These results are in contrast to those for chromosome 1 B because apparently homoeologous D subunit genes occur at a different position, being equidistant between Glu-B 1 (homoeologous to Glu-D 1) and Gli-B 1 (homoeologous to Gli-D 1). A range of 18 genetically-diverse wheat varieties, each containing one of two allelic groups of 1 D-encoded D subunits, were also analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Consistent with the genetic analysis above, unbreakable linkages were found between these alleles and alleles of Gli-D 1. The results are discussed in relation to the evolution of the distribution of prolamin genes in the wheat genome.
