Abstract

Allelic diversity at five gliadin-coding gene loci has been studied in the most important spring durum wheat cultivars released in Russia and former Soviet republics in the 20th century (66 cultivars). Seven, 5, 8, 13, and 2 allelic variants of blocks of gliadin components controlled by the loci Gli-A1 d, Gli-B1 d, Gli-A2 d, Gli-B2 d, and Gli-B5 d, respectively, have been identified. The allelic diversity did not exhibit a consistent trend during the period studied. Nei’s diversity index (H) was 0.68 in the period from 1929 to 1950, increased to 0.70 in 1951–1980, and decreased to 0.58 after the year 1981. It has been found that the most frequent alleles in this collection are relatively rare in other regions of the world, which suggests unique ways of the formation of the diversity of durum wheat cultivars in the former Soviet Union. The efficiency of electrophoresis of storage proteins as a method for identification of durum wheat cultivars by the gliadin electrophoretic pattern has been estimated.
