Abstract: | The diversity of HMW glutenin subunits in spelt wheat, Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta, was studied electrophoretically in 333 accessions grouped in 50 populations originally collected from Asturias, North of Spain, in 1939. The inter- and intra-population distribution of HMW glutenin alleles at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1 loci were investigated. The results show that the genetic variation in HMW glutenin subunits is mainly present within populations, being the variation between populations only 21%. The materials analysed showed a wide polymorphism for the HMW glutenin subunits, although some allelic variants were clearly dominant. This suggests the possibility of a loss of variability before the collection that could have increased with the subsequent reduction of the cultivation area of this species in this Spanish region. |
