Effect of gliadins and HMW and LMW subunits of glutenin on dough properties in the F6 recombinant inbred lines from a bread wheat cross

The storage proteins of 64 F₂-derived F₆ recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from the bread wheat cross Prinqual/Marengo were analyzed. Parents differed at four loci: Gli-B1 (coding for gliadins), Glu-B1 (coding for HMW glutenin subunits), Glu-A3/Gli-A1 (coding for LMW glutenin subunits/gliadins) and Glu-D3 (coding for LMW glutenin subunits). The effect of allelic variation at these loci on tenacity, extensibility and dough strength as measured by the Chopin alveograph was determined. Allelic differences at the Glu-B1 locus had a significant effect on only tenacity. None of the allelic differences at either the Glu-A3/Gli-A1 or Glu-D3 loci had a significant effect on quality criteria. Allelic variation at the Gli-B1 locus significantly affected all of the dough properties. Epistatic effects between some of the loci considered contributed significantly to the variation in dough quality. Additive and epistatic effects each accounted for 15% of the variation in tenacity. Epistasis accounted for 15% of the variation in extensibility, whereas additive effects accounted for 4%. Epistasis accounted for 14% of the variation in dough strength, and additivity for 9%. The relative importance of epistatic effects suggest that they should be included in predictive models when breeding for breadmaking quality.     

Restriction fragment analysis of ‘null’ forms at the Gli-1 loci of bread and durum wheats

Summary Wheat accessions lacking some of the - and -gliadin components encoded by the Gli-1 loci on the short arm of chromosome 1D in bread wheat and chromosome 1A in durum wheat were studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and restriction fragment analysis. Digested genomic DNAs of normal and null forms were probed with a cDNA clone related to -/-gliadins and with a genomic clone encoding an LMW subunit of glutenin. The hybridisation patterns with the -/-gliadin probe were similar to those of cvs Chinese Spring and Langdon used as standards for bread and durum wheats, respectively, but several restriction fragments located on the 1D chromosome of bread wheat and the 1A chromosome of durum wheat were absent in the null forms. In addition, specific LMW glutenin fragments encoded by the same chromosomes were also absent in the null forms, suggesting that simultaneous deletions of blocks of genes for both -/-gliadins and LMW glutenins had occurred. Comparisons of the protein and RFLP patterns enabled some proteins to be mapped to specific restriction fragments.     

Production and genetic characterization of near-isogenic lines in the bread-wheat cultivar Alpe

Two biotypes of the bread-wheat cultivar Alpe were shown to possess contrasting alleles at each of the glutenin (Glu-B1, Glu-D1, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3) and gliadin (Gli-B1 and Gli-D1) loci on chromosomes 1B and 1D. Fourteen near-isogenic lines (NILs) were produced by crossing these biotypes and used to determine the genetic control of both low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunits and gliadins by means of one-dimensional or two-dimensional electrophoresis. Genes coding for the B, C and D groups of EMW subunits were found to be inherited in clusters tightly linked with those controlling gliadins. Southern-blot analysis of total genomic DNAs hybridized to a -gliadin-specific cDNA clone revealed that seven NILs lack both the Gli-D1 and Glu-D3 loci on chromosome 1D. Segregation data indicated that these null alleles are normally inherited. Comparison of the null NILs with those possessing allele b at the Glu-D3 locus showed one B subunit, seven C subunits and two D subunits, as fractionated by two-dimensional A-PAGExSDS-PAGE, to be encoded by this allele. Alleles b and k at Glu-B3 were found to code for two C subunits plus eight and six B subunits respectively, whereas alleles b and k at Gli-B1 each controlled the synthesis of two -gliadins, one and two -gliadins. The novel Gli-B5 locus coding for two -gliadins was shown to recombine with the Gli-B1 locus on chromosome 1B. The two-dimensional map of glutenin subunits showed -gliadins encoded at the Gli-A2 locus on chromosome 6A. The use of Alpe NILs in the study of the individual and combined effects of glutenin subunits on dough properties is discussed.Research supported by a grant from the Commission of the European Communities, ECLAIR programme, Contract AGRE 0052     

Adoptions expérimentales de larves entre des fourmis de genres différents (II):Myrmica laevinodis Nylander etAnergates atratulus Schenck

Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.

Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

Use of recombinant inbred lines of wheat for study of associations of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit alleles to quantitative traits

Summary Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived by single plant descent to F₈ from a hybrid of Anza, a low-quality cultivar, and Cajeme 71, a high-quality cultivar, differed in alleles at three high-molecular-weight glutenin (HMW-glu) seed storage protein loci. The 48 RILs were classified by SDS-PAGE for the Anza alleles Glu-Alc (null), Glu-B1b (subunits 7 + 8), and Glu-D1a (subunits 2 + 12) and for Cajeme 71 alleles Glu-A1a (sub-unit 1), Glu-B1I (subunits 17 + 18), and Glu-D1d (subunits 5 + 10). All RILs and parents were grown in a replicated field trial with three levels of nitrogen (N) fertilization. Additive and additive x additive gene effects for the three loci were detected by orthogonal comparisons of means for each of six wheat end-use quality traits. Each HMW-glu genotype was represented by three to ten RILs so that variability among RILs within each HMW-glu genotype could be examined. N effects were consistently small. All traits except flour yield were highly correlated with predictor traits studied earlier. Flour protein content, baking water absorption, dough mixing time, bread loaf volume, and bread loaf crumb score were all correlated, suggesting similar gene control for these traits; however, specific additive locus contributions were evident: _B for flour yield; _B and _D for flour protein; and _B for absorption, but differing in sign; all three loci for mixing time, but _B was negative; and all three loci were positively associated with loaf volume. Digenic epistatic effects were significant for flour yield (_AD), flour protein (_AB), and absorption and mixing time (_AD, _BD). Only flour yield showed a trigenic epistatic effect. Six of seven epistatic effects were negative, thus showing how progress in breeding for high quality may be impeded by interaction of genes which, by themselves, have strong positive additive effects. Considerable genetic variance among RILs within a HMW-glu genotype was detected for all traits, and the summation of effects accounted for a mean of 13% of the parental differences for the six traits examined in this study. Clearly, further resolution of the genetics of wheat quality would be desirable from a plant breeding point of view.     

Production of multiple wheat-rye 1RS translocation stocks and genetic analysis of LMW subunits of glutenin and gliadins in wheats using these stocks

Summary A triple (1AL.1RS/1BL.1RS/1DL.1RS) and three double (1AL.1RS/1BL.1RS, 1AL.1RS/1DL.1RS, 1BL.1RS/1DL.1RS) wheat-rye 1RS translocation stocks were isolated from a segregating population using the Gli-1, Tri-1 and Sec-1 seed proteins as genetic markers. These stocks carried 42 chromosomes and formed the expected multivalents (frequency of 14–25%) at metaphase 1. They gave floret fertility ranging from 40–60%. These stocks were subsequently used to determine the genetic control of low-molecular-weight (LMW) glutenin subunits in Chinese Spring and Gabo by means of two-step one-dimensional SDS-PAGE. All of the B subunits and most of the C subunits of glutenin were shown to be controlled by genes on the short arms of group-1 chromosomes in these wheats. The other C subunits were not controlled by group-1 chromosomes. The triple translocation line served as a suitable third parent in producing test-cross seeds for studying the inheritance of the LMW glutenin subunits and gliadins in wheat cultivars, e.g. Chinese Spring and Orca. The segregation patterns of the LMW glutenin subunits in these cultivars revealed that the subunits were inherited in clusters and that their controlling genes (Glu-3) were tightly linked with those controlling gliadins (Gli-1). The LMW glutenin patterns d, d and e in Orca segregated as alternatives to the patterns a, a and a in Chinese Spring controlled by Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci on chromosome arms 1AS, 1BS and 1DS, respectively, thus indicating that these patterns were controlled by allelic genes at these loci.     

Analysis of allozymic and quantitative variation produced by artificial selection in Drosophila melanogaster

In order to study a possible connection between allozymic and quantitative variation in D. melanogaster, three selection experiments were carried out, using founder strains of known genetic and chromosomal composition.The Adh and Gpdh-1 enzyme loci have been used as genetic markers and the maximum wing length has been the quantitative trait chosen. Two selected lines (high and low) were maintained and also one without selection (drift), to estimate the effect of random fluctuation on gene frequency variation. The allozymic variation was analysed by means of a polynomial regression, and a normal linear model allowed to make pairwise comparisons.The allelic combination ((F), A(-)) was favoured in the low lines of the selection experiments; the selection acted in favour of homozygotes, with a correlated loss of genetic homoeostasis. The similar behaviour of the drift and the control lines shows that random fluctuations in the gene frequencies in selected lines are negligible.     

The cumulative effect of allelic variation in LMW and HMW glutenin subunits on dough properties in the progeny of two bread wheats

Summary The effects of allelic variation at Gli-A1, GluA3 and Glu-A1 loci coding for gliadins, LMW glutenin subunits and HMW glutenin subunits on dough resistance and extensibility was analysed in 56 F₂-derived F₆ families from a cross between bread wheats MKR(111/8) and Kite. Extensograph data from two sites giving widely different flour protein levels (approximately 7% and 14%) revealed that the Glu-A3m and Glu-A1b alleles were associated with larger effects on dough resistance and extensibility than the null alleles Glu-A3k and GluA1c, respectively, and moreover, their effects were additive at both protein levels. The effect of the LMW glutenin allele Glu-A3m on both dough resistance and dough extensibility was relatively larger than that of the HMW glutenin allele Glu-A1b at both sites. Variation at the Gli-A1 locus did not appear to contribute towards dough strength. The results also showed the large effect of flour protein content on dough properties.     

Use of recombinant substitution lines in the construction of RFLP-based genetic maps of chromosomes 6A and 6B of tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.)

RFLP-based genetic maps of chromosomes 6A and 6B of Triticum turgidum have been constructed using data obtained by the study of Triticum turgidum var durum cv Langdon-T. t. var dicoccoides recombinant substitution lines (RSLs) supplemented with data obtained from F₃ families derived from Langdon dicoccoides 6A and 6B disomic substitution lines. The average RFLP frequencies detected for the two chromosomes in a test of 45 DNA clones with six restriction enzymes were 56% and 53%, respectively, and a subset of 32 clones gave frequencies of 75% and 72%, respectively. Seventeen loci were mapped in 6A and 18 in 6B. With the possible exception of 5 loci in the centromeric region of 6A, all of the mapped 6A and 6B loci are located in the same arm as are homologous loci in hexaploid wheat, and the linear order of the loci is the same in the two chromosomes, except possibly close to the centromere. Major differences in genetic distances exist between homologous loci located in the proximal regions of the 6AL and 6BL linkage groups, however, the distances being much larger in the former than in the latter. The 6B maps that were constructed using data from both the RSL and the F₂ populations and using data from the RSL population alone closely resemble one another, indicating that the 6B RSL population, composed of 85 lines, can be reliably used for genetic mapping. Additional studies must be conducted before the utility of the 6A RSL population, composed of 66 lines, can be adequately assessed.     

Evaluation of an exotic maize population adapted to a locality

Summary An exotic Zea mays L. population (Tuxpeno) was adapted to North Carolina conditions by first introducing genes for adaptability from two North Carolina varieties ([(Jarvis X Indian Chief)Tuxpeno]Tuxpeno) including four generations of intermating, and then selecting for adaptability using maturity as the primary measure. The study evaluated selection for adaptability and the diversity available between adapted Tuxpeno and the local varieties, Jarvis and Indian Chief. Analytical procedures were developed to quantify the diversity between populations and the complementation of local varieties by introduced germ plasms. The analyses utilized the specific effects available from the diallel mating design.Three replicate selections responded similarly under simple recurrent mass selection (1/10) for the earliest disease-free plants initially and additionally for plant types (primarily height) in the final generation. The 1/4 local germ plasm permitted rapid adaptation of Tuxpeno gene pool to local conditions. The adapted Tuxpeno populations yielded similarly to the local populations with an average heterosis for grain yield of 28% when crossed to the local populations used as source of genes for adaptability. The diversity found between adapted Tuxpeno lines and these local varieties based on genes affecting grain yield was 1.5 to 2.5 times that measured between the local varieties (Jarvis and Indian Chief). Diversity lost through intergradation with local material was a reasonable investment. Yield genes introduced from Tuxpeno complemented local gene pools through nonadditive, primarily dominance-associated, gene effects. Reassortment of major gene blocks apparently occurred leading to significant divergence among replicate selections involving both additive-associated and dominance-associated gene effects.Paper No. 6355 of the North Carolina Agri.

Molecular mapping of a new gene Rrs4 CI 11549 for resistance to barley scald (Rhynchosporium secalis)

Doubled haploid (DH) progeny from a cross between the scald susceptible barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar Ingrid and the resistant accession CI 11549 (Nigrinudum) was evaluated for resistance in the pathogen Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem) J.J. Davis. Two linked and incompletely dominant loci confer resistance CI 11549 against isolate 4004. One is an allele at the complex Rrs1 locus on chromosome 3H close to the centromere; the other is located 22 cM distally on the long arm. The latter locus is designated Rrs4. In BC₃-lines into Ingrid from CI 2222 (another Nigrinudum) resistance seems governed by one locus close to the telomeric region of chromosome 7H, probably allelic to Rrs2. In neither case did we find any trace of the recessive gene rh8 reported to be present in Nigrinudum. Various resistance donors of Ethiopian origin designated as Nigrinudum, Jet or Abyssinian were identical to a great extent with respect to markers, but differed in resistance to different isolates of scald or in barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance. The implications for their use as differentials in scald tests and screening of germplasm collections are discussed.     

High frequency of triplicated α-globin loci and absence or low frequency of α thalassemia in Polynesian Samoans

Summary Most of the population in certain areas of Melanesia have one -globin gene deletion ( thal₂). It is thought that the high frequencies of thal₂ in this population is due to a selective advantage given by malaria infection to carriers of thal₂. We are interested in neighboring Polynesia which, although adjacent to Melanesia, has always been free of malaria due to the absence of the vector anopheles. We studied 60 Polynesian Samoans and 150 Malaysians by restriction endonuclease gene mapping using Eco RI, Bam HI, and Bgl II and hybridization to ³²P-labeled -globin gene probe. Seven among the 60 (11.7%) Samoans had triplicated -globin loci type 1, while none had thal₂. On digestion with Bgl II the third -globin gene was found in an additional 3.7kb fragment in all seven Samoans with triplicated -globin loci, while digestion with Bam HI produced an abnormal elongated 18.2 kb fragment carrying -globin genes in addition to the normal 14.5 kb fragment. None of the Polynesian Samoans had thal₂ or thal₁. Only two of the Malaysians had triplicated -globin loci.     

Evolution of the variable gene segments and recombination signal sequences of the human T-cell receptor α/δ locus

The T-cell receptor (TCR) and loci are particularly interesting because of their unique genomic structure, in that the gene segments for each locus are interspersed. The origin of this remarkable gene segment arrangement is obscure. In this report, we investigated the evolution of the TCR and variable loci and their respective recombination signal sequences (RSSs). Our phylogenetic analyses divided the and variable gene segments into two major groups each with distinguishing motifs in both the framework and complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Sequence analyses revealed that TCR variable segments share similar CDR2 sequences with immunoglobulin light chain variable segments, possibly revealing similar evolutionary histories. Maximum likelihood analysis of the region on Chromosome 14q11.2 containing the loci revealed two possible ancestral TCR / variable segments, TRDV2 and TRAV1-1/1-2, respectively. Maximum parsimony revealed different evolutionary patterns between the variable segment and RSS of the same variable gene arguing for dissimilar evolutionary origins. Two models could account for this difference: a V(D)J recombination activity involving embedded heptamer-like motifs in the germline genome, or, more plausibly, an unequal sister chromatid crossing-over. Either mechanism would have resulted in increased diversity for the adaptive immune system.     

Synthesis of Gal-β-(1→4)-GlcNAc-β-(1→6)-[Gal-β- (1→3)]-GalNAc-α-OBn oligosaccharides bearing O-methyl or O-sulfo groups at C-3 of the Gal residue: specific acceptors for Gal: 3-O-sulfotransferases

Our recent studies have revealed the existence of two distinct Gal: 3-O-sulfotransferases capable of acting on the C-3 position of galactose in a Core 2 branched structure, e.g., Gal14GlcNAc16(Gal13)GalNac1OBenzyl as acceptor to give 3-O-sulfoGal14GlcNAc13(Gal13)GalNAc1OB 20 and Gal14GlcNAc16(3-O-sulfoGal13)GalNAc1OB 23. We herein report the synthesis of these two compounds and also that of other modified analogs that are highly specific acceptors for the two sulfotransferases. Appropriately protected 1-thio-glycosides 7, 8, and 10 were employed as glycosyl donors for the synthesis of our target compounds.     

Genetics of α-amylases from rye endosperm

Summary Fifteen inbred lines of rye, F₁ and F₂ progenies from crosses between lines were studied using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Conventional genetic analysis of -amylase zymograms showed that the 19 bands detected in the endosperm of germinating caryopses were controlled by three linked structural loci and one independent modifying locus, which influenced the electrophoretic mobility of isozymes. Two codominant alleles were found at the -Amy1, -Amy2 structural loci and the M--Amy modifying locus while the -Amy3 locus had three alleles. Double-banded expression of the -amylase alleles was probably due to the simultaneous presence of modified and unmodified forms of isozymes on the zymogram.This work was supported by Polish Academy of Sciences under project MR-II/7 and was also a part of the author's PhD Thesis     

The Instron technique as a measure of immediate-past wall extensibility

The relationship between the plastic-extensibility values (PEx) obtained in the Instron technique and the growth parameter, wall extensibility () has been evaluated for Avena sativa L. coleoptile cell walls. The possibility that PEx is proportional to the growth rate rather than to has been eliminated by showing that turgor-driven changes in the growth rate do not cause comparable changes in PEx. For Avena coleoptiles, PEx appears to be a measure of the average over the previous 60–90 min rather than a measure of the instantaneous of the growth equation. This is indicated by the fact that while PEx and the growth rate start to change simultaneously after addition of indole-3-acetic acid or KCN, the growth rate reaches a new, constant value 60–90 min before a new plateau value of PEx is obtained. Similar results are obrained with soybean (Glycine max L.) hypocotyl walls, indicating that the relationship between PEx and the parameter is a general one, although the period over which is averaged differs from tissue to tissue. In addition, it is shown that PEx can be measured more than once on the same section; a new potential for plastic extension is regenerated whenever the force vectors are changed even slightly. It is concluded that PEx is a measure of those domains in the wall where a wall-loosening event has occurred which has not been eliminated by further wall synthesis or other biochemical events.Abbreviations and symbols DP Instron plastic compliance - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - PEx Instron plastic extensibility - instantaneous wall extensibility     

Fractionation of wheat gliadin and glutenin subunits by two-dimensional electrophoresis and the role of group 6 and group 2 chromosomes in gliadin synthesis

Summary Subunits of wheat endosperm proteins have been fractionated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. To determine which subunits in the two-dimensional electrophoretic pattern belong to gliadin or glutenin the endosperm proteins have also been fractionated by a modified Osborne procedure and by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and Sepharose CL-4B prior to separation by two-dimensional electrophoresis.The control of production of five major grain protein subunits is shown to be determined by chromosomes 6A, 6B and 6D by comparing two-dimensional electrophoretic protein subunit patterns of aneuploid lines of the variety Chinese Spring. From these and previous studies it is concluded that some , and gliadins (molecular weights by SDS-PAGE 30,000 to 40,000) are specified by genes on the short arms of homoeologous Group 6 chromosomes, the gliadins (molecular weights by SDS-PAGE 50,000 to 70,000) are specified by genes on the short arms of homoeologous Group 1 chromosomes and the glutenin subunits (molecular weights by SDS-PAGE > 85,000) are specified by genes on the long arms of homoeologous Group 1 chromosomes.No major gliadins or glutenin subunits were absent when any of the chromosomes in homoeologous Groups 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 were deleted. However two gliadins whose presumed structural genes are on chromosome 6D were absent in aneuploid stocks of Chinese Spring carrying two additional doses of chromosome 2A. Two out of thirty-three intervarietal or interspecific chromosome substitution lines examined, involving homoeologous Group 2 chromosomes, lacked the same two gliadins. All the subunits in the other thirty-one chromosome substitution lines were indistinguishable from those in Chinese Spring. It is therefore concluded that the major variation affecting gliadin and glutenins in wheat is concentrated on the chromosomes of homoeologous Groups 1 and 6 but Group 2 chromosomes are candidates for further study.An endosperm protein controlled by chromosome 4D in Chinese Spring is shown to be a high molecular weight globulin.     

The inheritance of tetraploid wheat seed peroxidases

Summary Embryo and endosperm peroxidases from dry mature seeds of three subspecies of tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) were subjected to genetic analysis. The inheritance of eight isozymes (embryo isozymes a₂, d₁, d₂, e and f; and endosperm isozymes b, d and 4) were studied in F₂'s obtained from different wheat accessions. Simple monogenic inheritance producing three banded: one null segregation and two epistatic segregations (97 and 151) were found. In the case of isozymes b, d and 4, monogenic or epistatic segregation depended on the F₂ analyzed. Segregation data indicated that at least 9 different loci would determine the peroxidase isozymes of tetraploid wheat seed, all the loci studied containing null alleles. Furthermore, several loci determining embryo peroxidases were noticed to be mutually linked. All these data are discussed in context of the inheritance of seed peroxidases in hexaploid wheat and rye.     

Immunofluorescence localization of the epidermolytic toxin target in mouse epidermal cells and tissue

Summary An epidermolytic toxin target was observed in keratohyalin granules of sectioned epidermis by a direct fluorescence procedure using FTC-toxin, but not by an indirect procedure using sequential reaction with toxin, anti-toxin and FTC-secondary antibody. The investigation of the two procedures was extended to keratinocytes. A dispase digestion procedure yielded three fractions which corresponded to basal, spinous and granular cells according to biochemical and morphological criteria. It was shown that the direct and indirect procedures both detected the toxin target in the keratohyalin granules of granular cells, but that the indirect procedure was very insensitive. In control experiments, the profilaggrin of keratohyalin granules was detected readily in cells by a direct procedure using FTC-antiprofilaggrin but only weakly by an indirect double antibody procedure. Insensitivity to indirect procedures thus appears to be a particular property of the keratohyalin granule site. It was shown that the toxin target was readily accessible in permeable (trypsin-isolated) granular cells but inaccessible in impermeable (dispase-isolated) cells.
