Abstract: | Summary The inheritance of the high molecular weight (HMW) glutenins and of several gliadins controlled, respectively, by the long and short arms of chromosome 1B of common wheat was studied. Analysis was carried out on the progeny of two inter-varietal crosses in which the parental lines possessed differentially migrating subunits as revealed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. No recombination event was detected either within the fraction of the HMW glutenins or among most of the gliadin subunits studied indicating that they are controlled by tightly linked gene clusters. One gliadin subunit (B30) showed 25.5% recombination frequency with the rest of the gliadin subunits and 23.5% recombination frequency with the fraction of the HMW glutenin subunits. It has been concluded that this subunit is controlled by a separate locus (Gld-B6), proximal to the major gliadin gene cluster on the short arm of chromosome 1B. Consequently, the recombination percentage between the glutenin loci and most of the gliadin loci was calculated as 49.0 and the distance in centi-Morgans (cM) as 53.6. The estimated distance in cM is very close to the observed recombination percentage. A genetic map of these storage protein genes is presented. |
