high molecular weight (hmw) subunits of wheat glutenin are generally considered as playing a key role in gluten formation and structure, as well as to be closely related to wheat quality. the endosperm storage proteins of 80 synthetic lines and wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum) were fractionated through sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine their high-molecula...

one hundred and twenty iranian accessions of aegilops crassa with origin from different geographical areas of iran, were evaluated for variation in high molecular weight glutenin subunit (hmw-gs) composition. the results showed different banding patterns between hexa (6x) and tetra-ploid (4x) as well as within different ploidy accessions. eleven allelic variants were observed in glu- dcr1 locus...

to enhance germplasms of bread wheat, a gene, encoding the smallest y-type high molecular weight glutenin subunit (hmw gs) gene (12.4t) from the d-genome using synthetic hexaploid approach was introgressed into bread wheat. tetraploid wheat (t. turgidum cv. langdon) was crossed with t. tauschii accession aus24092. immature embryos were rescued and placed onto b5 regeneration media. hybrid f1 pl...

A new method of sequential extraction of proteins followed by quantitative and qualitative determination by reverse-phased high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to analyse the effect of environmental conditions (3N fertilisation rates, two varieties, two sites and two growing seasons) on quantitative and qualitative variation of wheat storage proteins. The results showed tha...

'High-molecular-weight' (HMW, high-Mr) glutenin subunits are protein constituents of wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds and are responsible in part for the viscoelasticity of the dough used to make bread. Two subunits, numbered 10 and 12, are the products of allelic genes. Their amino acid sequences have been derived from the nucleic acid sequences of the respective genes. Subunit 10 has fewer ami...

High molecular weight glutenin subunit composition and variation in 95 Elite-1 synthetic hexaploid (SH) wheats (Triticum turgidum/Aegilops tauschii; 2n = 6× = 42; AABBDD) were determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method (SDS-PAGE). Twenty two different alleles at Glu-1 loci in SHs were observed. Forty four different patterns of HMW-GS in synthetics were found...

Glutenin is a major protein fraction contributing to the functional properties of gluten and dough. The glutenin constitutes 30-40% of the protein in wheat flour and about half of that in gluten. It is essential to identify correct glutenin alleles and to improve wheat quality by selecting alleles that exert favorable effects. Moroccan wheat cultivars are unique in West Asia and North Africa re...

high molecular weight (hmw) glutenin sub-units and baking quality related traits were studied in 49 iranian wheat landraces. the protein content ranged from 11.2% to 13.55%, and sds sedimentation volume varied between 40 and 60 milliliters. high molecular weight glutenin electrophoresis profiles revealed that at the glu-a1 locus, the frequency of null allele was higher than sub-units 1 and 2*. ...
