Twenty common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were classified into two groups based on the presence or absence in their electrophoregrams of two gliadin bands separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The two groups were compared for quality and agronomic characteristics evaluated during 6 yr of testing. The group 1 cultivars (band 40 present, 43.5 absent) had weaker gluten properties and lower loaf volume than cultivars in group 2 (band 40 absent, 43.5 present). No significant difference between the groups was found for protein content or grain yield. The present data are discussed in relation to similar results obtained by other authors for durum wheat cultivars.

Composition of gliadins encoded by Gli-D1 allele as well polymorphisms of Gli-D1 allele investigated in 25 wheat cultivars by using acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Electrophoregrams obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used for estimation variability of gliadin components and identification of gliadin blocks. Five gliadin blocks encoded by different alleles at Gli-D1 locus were apparently expressed and identified. Gliadin blocks differed according to number of components and their molecular mass. Variability of determined block components indicates that existing polymorphisms of gliadins alleles. Frequency of identified 5 alleles at Gli-D1 locus was in ratio from 4% to 52%. The highest frequency of b allele and the of g allele was found.

The objective of our study was to determine the composition of high-molecular weight-glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in 120 cultivars of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Fourteen alleles and 34 allelic compositions were detected using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The most frequent HMW-GS alleles at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1 loci were null (57.1%), 7+9 (43.3%) and 5+10 (61.9%), respectively. However, low-frequency HMW-GS alleles were also observed, such as 13+16, 20, 21, 7 and 18, encoded by the Glu-B1 locus, and 4+12, encoded by the Glu-D1 locus. The wheat–rye 1BL.1RS translocation was identified in 25 cultivars, using acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Glu-score varied greatly, and some lines reached the maximum value of 10.

Gliadin allele compositions of 21 Canadian spring common wheat cultivars, most of which belong to the Canada western red spring (CWRS) class, were studied and great similarity in their genotypes was confirmed. It was found that alleles frequent in the set of Canadian wheats (such as Gli-B1d, Gli-D1j, Gli-A2m, and Gli-D2h) are very rare or absent in common wheat cultivars from other regions and countries studied earlier, indicating that germplasm of CWRS cultivars is rather unique. It may be suggested that alleles frequent in Canadian cultivars relate to important technological characteristics of these wheats and may possibly serve as marker genes during selection for quality traits. Similarity of gliadin electrophoregrams obtained by two different acid polyacryl-amide gel electrophoretic procedures for the same genotype was established, and the component composition of allelic variants of blocks of gliadin components found in the set of Canadian cultivars and in standard cultivars Chinese Spring and Bezostaya 1 are described.Key words: gliadin alleles, acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Canadian bread wheats.

AbstractFasciola hepatica secretes proteolytic enzymes to aid it to penetrate and migrate through the host tissues. Two of these proteinases have been purified and shown to be cathepsin L-like, and are termed, CL1 (27.5 kD) and CL2 (29 kD). The immunogenicity of these proteinases was investigated over the course of an experimental infection and following drug treatment. Four groups of rabbits were studied: group 1: orally infected with 50 metacercariae; group 2: infected and treated 8 weeks after infection; group 3: infected, treated at week 8 and reinfected at week 13 and group 4: non-infected control group. Sera were collected weekly from each group until week 20 postinfection. CL1 and CL2 were incubated with the different sera and then analysed by gelatin substrate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (GS-PAGE). Analysis of groups 1, 2 and 3 showed that CL1 and CL2 neutralizing antibodies appear at week 5 post-infection. In group 1, these remained throughout the 20 weeks of infection. In group 2, neutralizing antibodies disappeared at week 13, that is, 5 weeks after anti-Fasciola treatment. In group 3, CL1 and CL2 neutralizing antibodies disappeared at week 13 but reappeared by week 15, that is 2 weeks after reinfection. Pooled sera from group 4, showed no inhibitory capacity. ELISA results using CL1 and CL2 as antigen, correlate very well with the inhibitiory time course observed by GS-PAGE. These results suggest that purified cathepsin Ls are antigenic molecules recognized early in the infective process and capable of inducing a specific humoral response, strong enough to neutralize, at least partially, their enzymatic activity.

Patterns of gliadin proteins extracted from parents and inbred lines from the second backcross of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) cv. Pitic 62 to cv. Neepawa were compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in aluminum lactate–lactic acid buffer (pH 3.1). Of the 26 band locations identified, 19 showed differences between the two cultivars. Nine bands appeared to be controlled by single genes, while the segregation ratios for the other 10 bands suggested that each was controlled by two genes. A group of five bands appeared to be inherited as a unit, as did a second group of three bands. There was evidence of linkage between the genes controlling several bands. Results are discussed in relation to cultivar identification in wheat.

Summary. Background: Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a complication with high mortality. Cyanoacrylate (CA) is an adhesive which has been used in a number of surgical procedures. In this in-vivo study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PVGI and CA. Materials and methods: Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups. Pouch was formed on back of rats until deep fascia. In group 1, vascular graft with polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) was placed into pouch. In group 2, MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected into pouch. In group 3, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece was placed into pouch and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. In group 4, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece impregnated with N-butyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesive was placed and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. All rats were scarified in 96th hour, culture samples were taken where intervention was performed and were evaluated microbiologically. Bacteria reproducing in each group were numerically evaluated based on colony-forming unit (CFU/ml) and compared by taking their average. Results: MRSA reproduction of 0 CFU/ml in group 1, of 1410 CFU/ml in group 2, of 180 200 CFU/ml in group 3 and of 625 300 CFU/ml in group 4 was present. A statistically significant difference was present between group 1 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 2 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 3 and group 4 (p < 0.05). In terms of reproduction, no statistically significant difference was found in group 1, group 2, group 3 in themselves. Conclusions: We observed that the rate of infection increased in the cyanoacyrylate group where cyanoacrylate was used. We think that surgeon should be more careful in using CA in vascular surgery.
