The high and low molecular weight glutenin subunits and ω-gliadin composition of bread and durum wheats commonly grown in Portugal

A collection of 63 bread wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) and 21 durum wheats (Triticum durum Desf.) commonly grown in Portugal since 1982 were characterized for the composition of wheat storage proteins (WSP), high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS), low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) and ω-gliadins. The composition of HMW-GS, LMW-GS and &-gliadins, encoded at loci Glu-1, Glu-3 and Gli-1, respectively, was revealed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. WSP allelic compositions of bread and durum wheat patterns were given. In the bread wheats, a total of 24, 24 and 18 patterns were observed for HMW-GS, LMW-GS and ω-gliadins, respectively. Forty-two different alleles were identified for the nine loci studied, Glu-A1 (3), Glu-B1 (7), Glu-D1 (4), Glu-A3 (5), Glu-B1 (7), Glu-D3 (2), Gli-A1 (2), Gli-B1 (8) and Gli-D1 (4). In the case of durum wheats, 19 alleles were identified: one allele at Glu-A1, two at Glu-B3, Glu-B2 and Gli-A1, three at Glu-B1, four at Glu-A3 and five at Gli-B1. For HMW-GS, LMW-GS and ω-gliadins, three, six and six different patterns were revealed, respectively. This study represents the first attempt to discriminate the bread and durum wheat varieties commonly grown in Portugal by the allelic variation of storage proteins. The database is useful for varietal identification and for plant breeders who seek to devise effective programmes aimed at improving wheat quality.     

Genetic diversity of European spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta L. em. Thell.) revealed by glutenin subunit variations at the Glu-1 and Glu-3 loci

Summary High and low molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS and LMW-GS) compositions of 270 European spelts, 15 Iranian spelts and 25 bread wheat cultivars were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The results revealed a total of 22 HMW-GS alleles (4 at Glu-A1, 11 at Glu-B1 and 7 at Glu-D1) and 32 allele combinations among the three Glu-1 loci. Two major genotypes of HMW-GS: 1, 13+16, 2+12 and 1, 6.1+22.1, 2+12 were found to occur in Central European spelt wheat cultivars and landraces at higher frequencies of 35 and 28%, respectively. The Glu-B1 locus displayed the greatest variation and genetic diversity index (H) was 0.69 whereas Glu-A1 and Glu-D1 showed H index values of 0.26 and 0.19, respectively. The dendrogram constructed by HMW and LMW glutenin subunit bands revealed that European spelts form a separated cluster from common wheat suggesting that spelt and common wheat form distinct groups. In addition, all 15 Iranian spelt land variety accessions differed from European spelts and possessed similar HMW-GS alleles to common wheat. Because of a wider polymorphism Central European spelt wheats are an important genetic reserviour for improving common wheat quality. Both authors contributed equally to this work     

HMW-GS和LMW-GS组成对小麦加工品质的影响

高分子量麦谷蛋白亚基(HMW-GS)和低分子量麦谷蛋白亚基(LMW-GS)是决定小麦加工品质的重要因素。以小麦品种PH82-2(亚基组成1, 14+15, 2+12和Glu-A3d, Glu-B3d, Glu-D3c)和内乡188(亚基组成1, 7+9, 5+10和 Glu-A3a, Glu-B3j, Glu-D3b)的242份F₃和F₄株系(试验I)和91份产量比较试验材料(试验II)研究了贮藏蛋白组成对小麦加工品质的影响。结果表明,HMW-GS和LMW-GS等位变异对籽粒蛋白质含量的影响不大,但对加工品质均有极显著影响(P<1%)。就位点的效应而言,Glu-D1位点对加工品质的效应较大,而Glu-D3位点的效应较小。就单个亚基而言,在Glu-B1位点,14+15<7+9;在Glu-D3位点,Glu-D3c>Glu-D3b。1B/1R易位系的部分品质性状,如和面时间、曲线下降斜度和峰积分好于非1B/1R易位系。     

Allelic variation at the storage protein loci of 55 US-grown white wheats

Fifty soft white and hard white wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), and five club wheat cultivars (T. compactum L.) were partially characterized in terms of their storage protein compositions, i.e. gliadins, and high molecular weight and low molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS, respectively). At the Glu-1 loci, HMW-GS composition 1,7 + 9,2+ 12 was found to be predominant, being expressed in 11 cultivars out of 55. The most common alleles at the loci coding for gliadins and LMW-GS were found to be Gli-A1/Glu-A3a (43.6%), Gli-B1/Glu-B3b (36.4%), Gli-D1a/Glu-D3a (38.1%) and Gli-Dli/Glu-D3a (21.8%). Two-dimensional fractionation (acid-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) × sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)) of reduced and alkylated glutenins revealed that the number and the relative mobility of LMW-GS polypeptides were different from those reported for the corresponding Glu-3 alleles of hard-bread wheat cultivars. This result could account for the different technological properties of soft white wheats compared with hard-bread wheat cultivars, owing to the major impact of LMW-GS on dough quality.     

The effect ofGlu-B1 high molecular weight glutenin subunits on biscuit-making quality of wheat

Summary The aim of this study was to assess the effect of specificGlu-B1 HMW-GS on biscuit-making quality. Three soft spring wheat cultivars with the sameGlu-A1 andGlu-D1 HMW-GS, but differentGlu-B1 HMW-GS were used in crosses. F₂₄ derived lines were developed from these crosses.Glu-B1 HMW-GS 6+8 and 17+18; and 7+9 and 17+18 were compared. Lines with HMW-GS 6+8 versus those with HMW-GS 17+18 had a higher flour protein- and alveograph P/L ratio, shorter mixograph mixing time, more vitreous kernels, and a lower alveograph distensibility and strength (all values significant at p=0.05). Lines with HMW-GS 7+9 compared to those with 17+18 showed significant differences for flour extraction and biscuit diameter. The presence of HMW-GS 17+18 was significantly correlated with several biscuit-making quality characteristics in the Dirkwin/Zaragosa F₂₄ lines but not in the Waverley/Zaragosa F₂₄ lines, therefore the effect of HMW-GS 17+18 was modified by the genetic background in which they were expressed.

Biochemical and molecular characterisation of Glu-1 loci in Argentinean wheat cultivars

The high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) composition of acollection of 107 Argentinean bread wheat cultivars was analysed bysodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).Allelic variation at the Glu-1 loci was identified and its frequencycalculated. Eleven alleles were detected, three encoded at the Glu-A1locus, six at the Glu-B1 locus and two at the Glu-D1 locus. Alow frequency of the null allele at the Glu-A1 locus and a highfrequency of subunits 5+10 at the Glu-D1 locus were observed.Reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)analysis was used to further characterise HMW-GS. Two different types ofBx subunit 8 (named subunits 8 and 8) were detected, the latterhaving shorter elution time. Subunit 8 was not identifiable bySDS-PAGE. According to quantification by RP-HPLC analysis, two groupsof subunit 7 were observed. One group, with a relatively high proportionof subunit 7 (approximately 39% of the total amount of HMW-GS)appeared in cultivars with allele 7+8 at the Glu-B1 locus; asecond group of subunit 7 (around 24% of the total amount ofHMW-GS), was found in alleles 7+8, 7+8 and 7+9. Restrictionfragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) analyses of HMW-GS genes werealso carried out after digestion of genomic DNA with HindIII andTaqI restriction enzymes. The relationship between DNA fragment sizeand glutenin subunits, as estimated by electrophoretic mobility inSDS-PAGE, was also examined. The restriction enzyme TaqIdemonstrated to be a useful tool to detect homozygous plants in selectionprograms against the Glu-A1 null allele.     

Characterization of HMW-GS and evaluation of their diversity in morphologically elite synthetic hexaploid wheats

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. This higher HMW glutenin composition was due to higher proportion of D-genome encoded subunits in these SHs. 8% urea/SDS-PAGE better discriminated subunit 2* than 12% gels. However 12% urea/SDS-PAGE allowed differentiated mobility of Glu-D^t1 subunits. Genetic variability at Glu-D^t1 locus was greater than Glu-A1 and Glu-B1 loci. The relative high frequency of superior alleles, Glu-B1b and Glu-D^t1d indicated the superior bread making quality attributes embedded in these synthetic hexaploid wheats. Of the 95 Elite-1 SHs 27.1% possessed superior alleles at Glu-A1 and 51% had superior alleles at Glu-B1 locus. At Glu-D^t1 frequency of inferior allele 1Dx2 + 1Dy12 was very low (5.26%) and nine different rare alleles along with the higher frequency (22.1%) of D-genome encoded subunit, 1Dx5 + 1Dy10, were observed. These superior alleles shall form the priority selective sieve for their usage in wheat improvement efforts.     

高分子量谷蛋白5+10亚基和1B/1R易位分子标记辅助选择在小麦品质育种中的应用

谷蛋白亚基组成对小麦加工品质具有重要作用。以豫麦34、藁城8901和中优9507为优质亲本,以轮选987、石4185和周麦16为农艺回交亲本,采用5+10亚基和1B/1R易位分子标记结合田间农艺性状选择,育成4个BC₂F₄群体共125个高代品系。2008—2009年度,将这些高代品系分别种植于北京和河南安阳,分析了5+10亚基和1B/1R易位对蛋白质含量、和面时间和峰值曲线面积等品质参数的影响。4个群体中蛋白质含量与和面时间、峰值曲线面积等参数变幅较大,后代品系间品质差异明显,5+10亚基可显著增加和面时间和峰值曲线面积,1B/1R易位对和面时间和峰值曲线面积的作用则受遗传背景的影响。和面时间和峰值曲线面积等主要品质参数还受亚基表达量的影响,和面时间和峰值曲线面积与低分子量谷蛋白亚基含量显著正相关(r = 0.38~0.74,P < 0.05),导入5+10亚基可显著增加高分子量和低分子量谷蛋白亚基含量;Glu-B3位点等位基因的变化对高分子量谷蛋白亚基含量的影响不显著,对低分子量谷蛋白亚基含量的影响则因组合而异。通过有限回交,育种早代在室内采用5+10优质亚基和1B/1R易位分子标记辅助选择,结合田间农艺性状选择,可以加速培育优质新品种。     

Genetic variation of wheat glutenin subunits between landraces and varieties and their contributions to wheat quality improvement in China

Glutenin, one of major factors effecting bread-making quality, is comprised of a mixture of polymers, viz. high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs). Understanding variation among these glutenin subunits can help breeders determine allelic effects on specific quality traits and to use them as genetic markers. The HMW-GS and LMW-GS compositions of 390 landraces and 225 released varieties were analyzed by SDS–PAGE, and some quality traits, including Zeleny sedimentation volume, dough development time, stability time and strengths, were evaluated. The results indicated that 17 and 13 HMW-GSs were present in landraces and released varieties, respectively. For LMW-GS (Glu-A3 and Glu-B3 loci), 12 alleles were found in both landraces and released varieties. Total allelic richness at glutenin loci in landraces was higher, but the genetic dispersion index was lower than in released varieties. Two new subunit combinations 6 + 16 and 7 + 22, and some rare subunits 6 + 9*, 23 + 22, 6* + 8, 7 and 8, were identified in landraces and released varieties. The Glu-D1 and Glu-B3 loci had significantly positive effects. Based on the comparison of the effect of each subunit on quality, it was concluded that subunits 1 at Glu-A1, 13 + 16, 17 + 18 and 6 + 16 at Glu-B1, 5 + 10 at Glu-D1, Glu-A3b at Glu-A3 and Glu-B3d at Glu-B3 contributed larger positive effects on bread-making quality than alternative alleles. From this study, genetic materials with strong gluten and good quality were identified in landraces that did not carry the 1BL.1RS translocation.

采用SDS-PAGE方法,对我国9个麦区的76份代表性地方品种的高分子量谷蛋白亚基(HMW-GS)组成比较分析,并探讨其与环境因素(平均海拔、年平均降雨量和年平均温度)的相关性。结果表明,25.0%的品种具有异质性,分别包含2~4种不同HMW-GS组合;在Glu-1位点共检测到14个等位变异,其中Glu-A1、Glu-B1和Glu-D1等位变异数分别为2、7和5;发现了3个新等位变异,包括Glu-B1位点2个和Glu-D1位点1个。所有等位变异构成16种不同的亚基组合类型,以(N, 7+8, 2+12)为主,频率为69.7%。在Glu-1位点上,不同麦区遗传多样性分布存在一定的不均衡性,年平均降雨量和年平均温度与麦区多样性指数呈负相关。推测环境压力可能是地方品种多样性地区分化的重要因素。     

High molecular weight glutenin subunits of current bread wheats grown in Iran

Variation of high molecular weight gluteninsubunits (HMW-GS) at the Glu-1 lociwas studied using SDS-PAGE method in 43advanced lines or cultivars commonly grownin Iran. Fourteen alleles and 21 alleliccompositions were detected. Among the 43bread wheats analysed only five showed aunique HMW-GS composition. The mostfrequent HMW-GS patterns were 2^*, 7+8,2+12 and 2^*, 17+18, 2+12 which wereobserved in 13 and six cultivars,respectively. In the remainings, each twoto three lines or cultivars showed a commonHMW-GS pattern. Therefore, allelicvariation at Glu-1 loci is of limitedvalue for cultivar identification comparedwith loci controlling gliadins. Sevencultivars were observed to consist of twoto three biotypes with different alleles.In cultivar Mahdavi a biotype showedinactivity at the Glu-B1 locus. Analready reported rare subunit pair'2^***+12' at Glu-D1locus was found in cultivar Kavir. Theresults of scoring cultivars for theirquality based on the HMW-GS compositionswith an average score of eight, wasgenerally good. Cultivars Inia, Tajan, andadvanced lines N-75-11 and N-75-15 showedquality score equal to 10, whereas Alamootand C-75-5 showed quality scores equal tofive. The quality of former and latterlines and cultivars were considered highestand lowest, respectively. The resultsobtained in this study are useful inbreeding programs to improve bread makingquality, developing uniformity andimproving heterogeneous cultivars by meansof selection of the best genotypes.     

Characterization of CIMMYT bread wheats for high- and low-molecular weight glutenin subunits and other quality-related genes with SDS-PAGE,RP-HPLC and molecular markers

Two hundred and seventy-three CIMMYT bread wheat cultivars and advanced lines grown under irrigated conditions in Mexico during the 2005-06 Yaqui crop cycle were characterized for quality-related genetic traits using gene-specific markers for some high- and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS and LMW-GS) genes, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phytoene synthase (PSY), and waxy genes. Of them, 142 were analyzed for quality parameters including SDS sedimentation volume (SDS-SV), dough mixing time, and Alveograph parameters, and for HMW-GS and LMW-GS compositions using sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). For the Ppo-A1 locus tested with the marker PPO18, the frequencies of alleles Ppo-A1a and Ppo-A1b were 79.1 and 20.2%, respectively, and no PCR fragment was amplified in 2 lines (0.73%), whereas 227 lines (83.2%) contained the allele Ppo-D1a and 46 lines (16.8%) had Ppo-D1b detected by markers PPO16 and PPO29. For the marker YP7A, 142 lines (52.0%) were assumed to have the allele Psy-A1a and 131 lines (48.0%) contained the allele Psy-A1b. In the case of the marker YP7B for the gene Psy-B1, the alleles Psy-B1a and Psy-B1b were detected in 155 (56.8%) and 43 (15.8%) lines, respectively, and 75 (27.4%) lines possessed the allele Psy-B1d detected by the marker YP7B-3. All 273 lines contained the alleles Wx-A1a and Wx-D1a as determined by markers MAG264 and MAG269, respectively. Using the marker Wx-B1, 204 lines (74.7%) were presumed to have the Wx-B1a allele and 69 (25.3%) possessed Wx-B1b. The over-expressing allele of Bx7 ^OE and subunit By8*, not clearly seen with SDS-PAGE, were detected by RP-HPLC. The numbers of lines with subunits Ax2*, By8, By9, Bx17, Bx20, Dx5, and Glu-B3j were 90, 16, 57, 5, 46, 118, and 33, respectively, in the 142 lines analyzed with molecular markers, and were consistent with the results obtained by SDS-PAGE, except for one line with the 1A.1R translocation. Subunits Ax1 and Ax2* at the Glu-A1 locus showed significantly better effects on all quality parameters than subunit Null. Subunits 5 + 10 gave significantly better effects for all parameters. Subunit Glu-A3b showed more positive effects than its alternative alleles on SDS-SV and SDS-sedimentation volume/protein content index (SPI). The allele Glu-B3g showed the best effect on SDS-SV and Alveograph W, whereas Glu-B3j, associated with the 1B.1R translocation, exhibited a strongly negative effect on all quality parameters.     

Genetic diversity of wheat storage proteins and bread wheat quality

To understand the genetic and biochemical basis of the bread makingquality of wheat varieties, a large experiment was carried out with a set of162 hexaploid bread wheat varieties registered in the French or EuropeanWheat Catalogue. This material was used to analyse their allelic compositionat the twelve main storage protein loci. A large genetic and biochemicaldiversity of the gluten proteins was found. Several gliadin encoding lociexhibited the highest allelic diversity whereas the lowest diversity was foundfor Glu-A1 and Glu-D3 loci encoding some high molecularweight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) and LMW-GS respectively. Thevarieties were grown in three experimental locations in France. Qualityevaluation was carried out from material harvested in each location usingseven technological tests: grain protein content (Prot), grain hardness(GH), Zeleny sedimentation test (Zel), Pelshenke test (Pel), water solublepentosans (relative viscosity: Vr ), mixograph test (giving 11 parameters)and the alveograph test (dough strength W, tenacity P , extensibility L,swelling G, ratio P/L and the elasticity index Ie). Genetic and locationeffects as well as broad-sense heritability of each of the 22 technologicalparameters were calculated. GH, corresponding to the major Ha gene, Pel,and MtxW (mixograph parameter) had the highest heritability coefficients,alveograph parameters like W, P, the relative viscosity Vr and severalmixograph parameters had medium heritability coefficients whereas Protand L had the lowest. Variance analysis (using GLM procedure) allowed theeffect of the allelic diversity of the storage proteins, on the geneticvariations of each quality parameters, to be estimated. Glu-1 and Glu-3 loci had significant additive effects in the genetic variations of manyparameters. Gliadin alleles encoded at Gli-1 and Gli-2 were alsofound to play significant effect on several quality parameters. The majorpart of the phenotypic variation of the different quality parameters like Zel,Pel, W or mixograph peak time MPT was explained with the GH and allelesencoded at Glu-1 and Glu-3. Allelic variants encoded at Glu3and Gli-2 had similar contribution to the phenotypic variations ofquality parameters and accounted for 4% up to 21% each.     

利用揉面特性鉴定小麦1BL/1RS易位系

1BL/1RS易位系曾广泛用于小麦农艺性状改良,但对加工品质有明显的负面影响。利用404份F₅至F₈高代品系(试验I)和175份山东省主栽品种及高代品系(试验II),研究1BL/1RS易位对小麦揉面参数的影响,分析不同高低分子量蛋白亚基(HWM/LWM-GS)背景下1BL/1RS的揉面特性,探讨利用揉面特性鉴定1BL/1RS易位系的方法。结果表明,1BL/1RS易位系的揉面时间、峰值带宽及峰后1 min带宽显著低于非1BL/1RS易位系,而衰落角和带宽比(峰值带宽/峰后1 min带宽)显著高于非1BL/1RS易位系,说明1BL/1RS易位导致小麦的揉面特性显著变劣。易位系的揉面谱带的主要特征为峰后1 min谱带急剧衰落并变窄,带宽比显著增大,而非1BL/1RS易位系的峰后谱带衰落、变窄平缓或者稳定时间较长,带宽比较小。带宽比1.6可作为判断易位系的有效指标,即大于或等于1.6为1BL/1RS易位系,小于1.6为非1BL/1RS易位系,准确率达85.2%(试验I)和96.8%(试验II)。尽管优质HWM-GS背景对Glu-B3j(1BL/1RS易位系)的揉面特性有一定正向补偿作用,但品质特性仍显著劣于其他Glu-B3位点,带宽比表现尤为突出。因此,揉面特性不仅能测定育种材料的面团流变学特性,而且还能有效鉴别1BL/1RS易位系。     

Glu-B1位点亚基色谱鉴定及7OE对面团强度的影响

Allelic composition and associated quality traits of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Glu-1</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Glu-3</Emphasis> loci in selected modern Ethiopian durum wheat varieties

Gluten protein determines the processing quality of both durum wheat and bread wheat. The glutenin subunits compositions and associated quality traits of 20 Ethiopian durum wheat varieties were systematically analyzed using SDS-PAGE and Payne numbers. A total of 16 glutenin patterns were identified. At the Glu-A1 locus, all varieties scored the null allele. The predominant glutenin alleles at the Glu-B1 locus were Glu-B1b (7+8) and Glu-B1e (20). In Glu-3, the most abundant glutenin subunits were Glu-A3a and Glu-B3c. Based on the Payne scores, the varieties Yerer, Ginchi, Candate, and Foka were identified to have allelic composition suitable for pasta making. The cluster analysis using agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) method classified the varieties into four similarity classes. Based on the findings of this experiment, suggestions were made for allelic composition improvement through introgression of superior alleles from known Glu-1 and Glu-3 sources.

1BL/1RS易位系对小麦高分子量谷蛋白亚基遗传的影响初析

以1BL/1RS易位系小麦川农18(1, 7+9, 2+12)分别作母本和父本与川农19(N, 7+8, 2+12)杂交, 统计正反交F₂单株后代中1BL/1RS易位染色体所占的比例及HMW-GS的遗传规律, 研究了1BL/1RS易位染色体对HMW-GS遗传的影响。结果表明, 1BL/1RS易位染色体在雌配子和雄配子中都不能完全传递至后代, 且雄配子的传递率低于雌配子。HMW-GS在正、反交F₁中呈共显性遗传。在F₂中, Glu-A1位点上亚基的分离正常; 而Glu-B1位点上亚基的分离以及Glu-A1与Glu-B1位点之间的组合都与理论值不符。在川农19×川农18杂交F1中发现了一粒变异, 其HMW-GS组成为(1, 7+8, x+9, 2+12)。分别检测了其F₂代HMW-GS和醇溶蛋白的组成, 并用SSR分子标记分析了F₁变异和非变异株, 结果证实该变异粒确系两个亲本的杂交后代, 变异的亚基在SDS-PAGE电泳图上位于1Dx5和1Bx7亚基之间, 迁移率与1Bx6相似。
