Abstract
Gluten is composed of glutenin and gliadin fractions. Among them, glutenin is the major protein fraction contributing to gluten functionality and is further comprised of high and low molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS). The percentage of HMW-GS and LMW-GS is variety dependent and genetically controlled. Therefore, the knowledge of allelic composition of HMW-GS and LMW-GS is very important for breeding varieties of desirable quality traits. The aim of this study was to identify the allelic composition of HMW-GS and LMW-GS of Australian wheat varieties and also to investigate the effects of changes in composition of HMW-GS and LMW-GS and quantity of glutenin and gliadin fractions on dough quality of old and modern wheat varieties.
