The seed storage proteins of 106 Australian wheat cultivars were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine the allelic composition of the cultivars at each of the three loci controlling high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits. Amongst the cultivars, three alleles were identified at the Glu-A1 locus, eight at the Glu-B1locus and four at the Glu-D1 locus. The results are presented in the form of a key to aid identification of unknown samples. Sixteen of the cultivars were found to consist of two or more biotypes with respect to HMW glutenin subunit composition.

The endosperm storage proteins of 174 Japanese wheat (Triticum aestivum) landraces were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine their high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunit composition. These are alleles for complex gene loci, Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1, that are present in Japanese hexaploid wheat landraces. These were identified by comparison with the subunit mobility previously found in hexaploid wheat. Twenty-four different, major glutenin HMW subunits were identified. Each landrace contained 3–5 subunits, and 17 different glutenin subunit patterns were observed for 13 alleles in Japanese landraces. Japanese landraces showed specific allelic variation in glutenin HMW subunits, different from those in non-Japanese hexaploid wheats.

Variation in the electrophoretic banding patterns of high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunits of 274 hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties from China was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Twenty-seven different major glutenin HMW subunits were identified. Each variety contained 3–5 subunits and 29 different glutenin subunit patterns were segregated. Seventeen alleles were identified based on comparison of subunit mobilities with those previously found for hexaploid wheat. Chinese hexaploid wheats exhibited particular allelic variation in glutenin HMW subunit composition and this variation differed from that found in wheats from Japanese and other countries. Average Glu-1 quality scores of 274 Chinese wheat varieties in the present study have been shown to be higher than that of Japanese wheats. Considerable genetic variation in the HMW glutenin subunit compositions of the Chinese wheats was observed in the present study and previously. Alleles from Chinese hexaploid wheat varieties have not been extensively introduced into Japan and other countries. The present data may indicate possible applications of Chinese germplasm in wheat breeding programs. To improve the wheat quality, genetic variation should be attempted through the introduction of genes of Chinese varieties into varieties in Japan and other countries.

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

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) play an important role in the breadmaking quality of wheat flour. In China, cultivars such as Triticum aestivum 'Xiaoyan No. 6' carrying the 1Bx14 and 1By15 glutenin subunits usually have attributes that result in high-quality bread and noodles. HMW-GS 1Bx14 and 1By15 were isolated by preparative sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and used as an antigen to immunize BALB/c mice. A resulting monoclonal antibody belonging to the IgG1 subclass was shown to bind to all HMW-GSs of Triticum aestivum cultivars, but did not bind to other storage proteins of wheat seeds in a Western blot analysis. After screening a complementary DNA expression library from immature seeds of 'Xiaoyan No. 6' using the monoclonal antibody, the HMW-GS 1By15 gene was isolated and fully sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed an extra stretch of 15 amino acid repeats consisting of a hexapeptide and a nonapeptide in the repetitive domain of this y-type HMW subunit. Bacterial expression of a modified 1By15 gene, in which the coding sequence for the signal peptide was removed and a BamHI site eliminated, gave rise to a protein with mobility identical to that of HMW-GSs extracted from seeds of 'Xiaoyan No. 6' via SDS-PAGE. This approach for isolating genes using specific monoclonal antibody against HMW-GS genes is a good alternative to the extensively used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology based on sequence homology of HMW-GSs in wheat and its relatives.Key words: wheat, HMW-GS, monoclonal antibody, immunoscreen.

Aegilops geniculata Roth is an annual grass relative to cultivated wheat and is widely distributed in North Algeria. Endosperm storage proteins of wheat and its relatives, namely glutenins and gliadins, play an important role in dough properties and bread making quality. In the present study, the different alleles encoded at the four glutenin loci (Glu-M1, Glu-U1, Glu-M3 and Glu-U3) were identified from thirty five accessions of the tetraploid wild wheat A. geniculata collected in Algeria using Sodium dodecyl Sulfate - Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). At Glu-M1 and Glu-U1 loci, encoding high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) or A-subunits, 15 and 12 alleles were observed respectively, including one new subunit. B-Low molecular weight glutenin subunits zone (B-LMW-GS) displayed a far greater variation, as 28 and 25 alleles were identified at loci Glu-M3 and Glu-U3 respectively. Thirty two subunits patterns were revealed at the C subunits- zone and a total of thirty four patterns resulted from the genetic combination of the two zones (B- and C-zone). The wide range of glutenin subunits variation (high molecular weight glutenin subunits and low molecular weight glutenin subunits) in this species has the potential to enhance the genetic variability for improving the quality of wheat./span>

The composition of high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits in 35 Finnish bread wheat cultivars was determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One third of the varieties have one of two HMW glutenin subunit compositions and there are only 17 different compositions in all. Three cultivars, Antti, Kiuru and Panu, are genetically mixed for some of these subunits. Cultivar Tammi (II) contains a novel HMW subunit of glutenin, not detected in any bread wheat previously analysed, and is presumed to be coded by genes on chromosome 1A at the Glu-A1 locus. On the basis of previous work, which related individual subunits to bread-making quality, HMW glutenin subunit quality (Glu-1 quality) scores were calculated for the varieties. The results are related to the bread-making quality of Finnish wheats.
