Abstract excerpt
The high molecular weight subunits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) glutenin (HMW-GS) are important in determining the bread-making quality of flour and dough. There is therefore interest in transferring orthologous HMW-GS present in other grass species into wheat by wide crossing in order to extend the range of end use properties. In this work, we have isolated and characterized two genes encoding D hordeins from...
