Variation in high molecular weight glutenin subunits in landraces of hexaploid wheat from Afghanistan

Variation for high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunits is reported in Afghan hexaploid wheat landraces from different locations in the country ranging in altitude from 395 to 3170 metres. The variation appeared to be independent of the altitude and geographical location of the landraces. Studie...

Description
Summary:Variation for high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunits is reported in Afghan hexaploid wheat landraces from different locations in the country ranging in altitude from 395 to 3170 metres. The variation appeared to be independent of the altitude and geographical location of the landraces. Studies of a number of samples from each of five sites revealed that at some sites there was allelic variation at the Glu-A1 and Glu-B1 loci coding from HMW glutenin subunits, but there was no variation at the Glu-D1 locus within and between sites.
