Une étude du rôle des gluténines de haut poids moléculaire chez les blés hybrides: effet sur la qualité en situation d'hétérozygotie
Thirty-three winter wheat hybrids produced using a chemical hybridizing agent and their 27 parents were compared for bread-making quality. The F1 was intermediate between the two parents for grain hardness, Pelshenke test and W of alveograph. Correspondence analyses and tree-based models showed strong associations between high molecular weight glutenin composition and Pelshenke or alveograph. For the Pelshenke test, the Glu-D1 encoded subunits were preponderant, and the effect of the alleles appeared additive between loci, as well as within locus. For the alveograph, Glu-B1 was the most important locus. Dominance effects appeared, involving the 7 + 8 allele associated with high values for tenacity and extensibility. Key words: Hybrid wheat, bread-making quality, high molecular weight glutenin, Pelshenke, alveograph, grain hardness
