Abstract

The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) 7+8 were introduced into the Long 97-586 (1, 7, 2+12) wheat variety (Triticum aestivum) by 5 consecutive backcrosses with biochemical marker-assisted selection. Nearly isogenic lines (NILs) of HMW-GS 7 and 7+8 were obtained, and the NILs were planted in the experimental field at the Crop Breeding Institute of Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Science in 2004–2006. The field experiments were designed using the two-column contrast arrangement method with six replicates in 2004–2005 and four replicates in 2006. The result of three years experiments showed that the differences between NILs of Long 97–586 with subunit 7 and those with subunits 7+8 in the quality parameters of flour protein content and dry gluten content were negligible (P>0.1). However, the differences in some of the quality parameters were remarkably significant (P<0.01), including wet gluten content, ratio of wet gluten/dry gluten, gluten index, Zeleny sedimentation, ratio of sedimentation/dry gluten, and the farinogram parameters of water absorption, development time, stability, breakdown time and degree of softening. The difference between NILs with subunits 7+8 and subunit 7 was significant (P<0.05) on the alveogram W value and had a critical value (P=0.05) on the alveogram P value in 2006. The results show that HMW-GS 7+8 is far superior to HMW-GS 7 in terms of baking quality. The possibilities of using subunits 7+8 and subunit 7 in breeding strong and weak gluten wheat varieties are discussed in this paper.
