Control of Endosperm Proteins in TRITICUM AESTIVUM (Var. Chinese Spring) and AEGILOPS UMBELLULATA by Homoeologous Group 1 Chromosomes

RESUMO

The genetic control of major wheat endosperm proteins by homoeologous group 1 chromosomes has been studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The control of at least 15 distinct protein subunits or groups of protein subunits has been allocated to chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D of Chinese Spring wheat from the analysis of grains of aneuploid genotypes. In addition, six protein subunits have been shown to be controlled by chromosome 1Cu of the related species, Aegilops umbellulata, from studies of wheat lines carrying disomic substitutions of 1Cu chromosomes. On the basis of protein subunit patterns, chromosome 1Cu is more closely related to chromosome 1D of wheat than to chromosomes 1A or 1B.
