High Molecular Weight Glutenins and Isozymes

High molecular weight glutenin subunits are the key factors that influence bread making quality of common wheat. A number of HMW glutenin subunits have been detected using SDS-PAGE within each locus i.e. Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1 in common wheat. Particularly, alleles encoding the HMW glutenin subunits are associated with different dough properties of wheat. Of these, the allelic variation at the Glu-D1 locus has a particularly strong effect. Current study was undertaken with the main objective to study and characterize a group of synthetic elite genotypes for their high molecular weight glutenin subunit alleles in order to rank these elites for their bread making quality traits. For this, a total of 45 synthetic elites were picked from the elite set of 95 entries released by CIMMYT. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге High Molecular Weight Glutenins and Isozymes
