Abstract
Gliadins from 123 breeder lines of the cultivar BW 20 and from 198 breeder lines of the cultivar Sinton were extracted and separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cultivar BW 20 consisted of four biotypes and the cultivar Sinton of five with respect to their gliadin composition. The major biotype was represented by 93% of the breeder lines of the cultivar BW 20 and by 98% of the cultivar Sinton. The electrophoretic patterns of awned off-type plants in a yield test plot of Cultivar BW 20 were different from the patterns of the biotypes present in breeder lines of BW 20. It was concluded that these awned plants were contaminants from other cultivar sources.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
