Notes:
Grain protein compositions of 106 advanced generation backcross lines from crosses involving ‘Amigo’ (1AL.1RS), ‘Aurora’, ‘Kavkaz’, ‘Skorospelka-35’ and ‘Sunbird’ (all 1BL.1RS) and ‘Gabo’ 1DL.1RS parents and 152 cultivars with unknown pedigree were analysed by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE. Eighty seven backcross lines and 16 cultivars carried one or other of these translocations, 2 cultivars had a 1R (1B) substitution, whereas 5 backcross lines were found to be heterogeneous for the 1BL.1RS translocation. The translocation lines were easily identified by the presence of secalins (Sec-1) controlled by rye chromosome arm IRS and a simultaneous loss of the gliadin (Gli-1) and/or triticin (Tri-1) protein bands controlled by the replaced wheat chromosome arm (1AS, 1BS or 1DS). Certain gliadins, showing no allelic variation among the genotypes analysed, were identified as markers for chromosome arms 1AS (Mr= 34 kd) and IBS (Mr= 42,33 kd). The whole chromosome substitutions 1R (1B) were recognized by scoring for the presence of Sec-1 and HMW secalin bands, Sec-3 (controlled by rye chromosome arm 1RL) and the absence of Gli-B1 and HMW glutenin subunits, Glu-B1 (controlled by wheat chromosome arm 1BL). The results have shown that protein electrophoresis provides a rapid and reliable technique for screening genotypes for these translocations and substitutions in a breeding programme.
