Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emmer wheat is a neglected crop that can be used in the breeding of modern durum wheat for quality. One important aspect of this quality is the starch composition, which is related to the waxy proteins. A collection of emmer wheat was analysed previously for waxy protein composition, and two new Wx-B1 alleles were found by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and DNA sequencing...
