Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biogenetic engineering, in particular to a high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit gene of multi-leaf old awn wheat and the application of the gene to improve wheat quality through biotechnological methods. Background technique
[0002] Wheat endosperm storage proteins can be divided into gliadins and glutenins, both of which make wheat dough extensible and elastic, and thus can be processed into various foods, among which glutenin determines the elasticity of dough Can be divided into high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) and low molecular weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) (Payne et al., 1985; Gupta and Shepherd, 1990). Although high molecular weight glutenin subunits account for only a small fraction (approximately 12%) of the total protein in wheat seeds (Halford et al., 1992), they contribute up to 70% to bread baking quality (Payne, 1987) . In common hexaploid wheat, the high molecular weig...
