Abstract
Bread-making capability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is dependent on the seed storage proteins which consist of gliadins and glutenins.We have analyzed 25 widely grown or historically significant hexaploid spring wheat cultivars for intravarietal differences of gliadin and glutenin proteins.The objective of this study was to improve the quality of existing spring wheat cultivars by selecting for seed storage proteins and to test the effect of particular proteins on bread-making capability of spring wheat.
