Abstract
The promoter regions of HMW glutenin x-type genes at the Glu-D1 locus were surveyed for SNPs within a subpopulation of German bread wheat cultivars. On the basis of the promoter sequences of HMW glutenin subunit genes Glu-A1-x1, Glu-A1-x2, Glu-B1-x1, Glu-B1-x7, Glu-D1-x2, and Glu-D1-x5, an amplification refractory mutation system assay was designed to selectively amplify Dx-specific PCR fragments. Comparative sequence analysis among seven Glu-D1-x2 and seven Glu-D1-x5 wheat cultivars only confirmed a G-A transition in the promoter sequence to be a true polymorphism. SNP scoring by DHPLC of 95 German bread wheat cultivars, with the exception of cv. Anemos, showed that the transition completely agreed with the presence of HMW glutenin subunits 1Dx5 + 1Dy10 in SDS-PAGE. Therefore, the developed DHPLC assay is suitable for high-throughput genotyping to assist the selection of HMW glutenin genes in wheat quality breeding programs.
