We used PCR to obtain phylogenetically informative sequences from the high molecular weight glutenin genes of wheat. The validity of partial sequence comparisons as a means of studying glutenin phylogenetics was established by constructing neighbour-joining trees from partial alignments of 12 published glutenin allele sequences. PCR was then used to obtain 20 novel glutenin allele sequences fro...

Genes encoding high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin, a wheat seed storage protein, are expressed only in the developing endosperm. It was previously demonstrated that sequences essential for endosperm-specific transcription reside within 436 base pairs upstream of the initiation codon for HMW glutenin translation. We have further analyzed this region by testing the ability of a series of trunca...

At present, under the conditions of climate change, for mainly environmental but also economic reasons, especially in case new wheat genotypes, alternative cropping systems are recommended addition to common conventional system. The aim this study was determine effect integrated system (INTEG) and (CONV) on physiological parameters, yield, mineral composition grain, as well amount quality prote...

The popularity of wheat flour tortillas is spreading throughout the world and has become one highest-selling bread products. USDA Southern Regional Performance Nursery (SRPN) serves as largest wheat-growing region in USA, but tortilla quality germplasm SRPN remained unknown. This study investigated kernel traits, dough rheological properties, parameters, glutenin composition 131 lines from 1995...

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is a special form of food allergy where a food-intake alone does not induce any symptoms. However, allergic symptoms are elicited when triggering factors such as exercise or aspirin-intake are added after ingestion of the causative food. The most frequent causative foodstuff in Japan is wheat. The triggering factors, both exercise and aspirin-...
