Molecular comparison of waxy null alleles in common wheat and identification of a unique null allele.

Abstract excerpt

PCR selection markers for the identification of null waxy alleles were used to screen for waxy mutations in 168 common wheat cultivars. In all cultivars where the Wx-B1 protein was absent, the Wx-B1 allele was identical to the previously identified mutation carried by Kanto 107. Although most cultivars missing the Wx-A1 protein also carried the same Wx-A1 mutation as found in Kanto 107, all of the Turkey Wx-A1...
