[Caloric value and dietary fiber content of cereals, flours and breads].

A new method for the determination of the caloric values of foods is proposed. To date it had been suggested that with an increase in the dietary fiber content of foods the intestinal absorption of proteins and fats is reduced. This has to be revised in the light of recent experimental results. The new method leads to higher energy values for fats and proteins whereas for carbohydrates lower figures are obtained. This leads to considerable deviation in the energy content of foods from the values in present tables, especially for foods rich in dietary fiber.

The characterisation and mapping of a family of LMW-gliadin genes: effects on dough properties and bread volume.

Analysis of a cDNA library from wheat cv Wyuna endosperm, indicated a significant size and sequence variation among seed-endosperm protein genes. In this study, a family of low-molecular-weight seed protein genes are analysed that are related to the gliadins and the low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Sequence analysis and comparison of these proteins showed that they are closely related to a 17-kDa protein from barley, epsilon hordein, which plays a role in beer foam stability in the brewing industry. Mapping of these genes in wheat shows that they are located on group 7 and 4 chromosomes, as opposed to a group 1 and 6 location for the glutenins and gliadins. It is possible that this family of proteins forms a new class of seed-endosperm proteins important in defining the quality characteristics of wheat flour. Therefore, a representative gene from this family was expressed in Escherichia coli and the purified protein was supplemented into a base wheat flour. Rheological analysis showed that the protein effected dough strength and resistance break down during mixing of the dough, and provided a 20% increase in loaf height after baking.

Molecular genetic mapping of Gby, a new greenbug resistance gene in bread wheat.

The greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rhodani),is one of the major insect pests of wheat worldwide and it is important to develop a basic understanding of the chromosomal locations of known and new greenbug resistance genes. Gby is a new greenbug resistance gene in the wheat line 'Sando's selection 4040'. A mapping population used in this study was derived from a cross of Sando's 4040 and PI220127, a greenbug susceptible wheat land race from Afghanistan. A progeny test indicated that Gby is inherited as a single semi-dominant gene. A genetic linkage map consisting of Gby, Xgwm322 (a wheat microsatellite marker), XksuD2 (an STS marker) and 18 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci was constructed. We used DNA from Chinese Spring 7A deletion lines to show that the gwm332 and ksuD2 amplified fragments mapped in this study are located on along arm of chromosome 7A. This suggests that Gby is located on wheat chromosome 7A. Gby was mapped to the area in the middle of the 'island' of putative defense response genes that are represented by RFLP markers(Xpsr l9, XZnfp, Xbcd98 and Prl b) previously mapped to the distal part of the short arm of wheat chromosome group 7. This region of chromosome 7A is characterized by a high recombination rate and a high physical density of markers which makes Gby a very good candidate for map-based cloning. The selection accuracy when theRFLP markers Xbcd98, Xpsrll9 or XZnfp and Prlb flanking Gby are used together to tag Gby is 99.78%,suggesting that they can be successfully used in marker assisted selection.

The use of microsatellite markers for the detection of genetic similarity among winter bread wheat lines for chromosome 3A.

Previous studies with chromosome substitution and recombinant inbred chromosome lines identified that chromosome 3A of wheat cv. Wichita contains alleles that influence grain yield, yield components and agronomic performance traits relative to alleles on chromosome 3A of Cheyenne, a cultivar believed to be the founder parent of many Nebraska developed cultivars. This study was carried out to examine the genetic similarity among wheat cultivars based on the variation in chromosome 3A. Forty-eight cultivars, two promising lines and four substitution lines (in duplicate) were included in the study. Thirty-six chromosome 3A-specific and 12 group-3 barley simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs were used. A total of 106 polymorphic bands were scored. Transferability of barley microsatellite markers to wheat was 73%. The coefficient of genetic distance (D) among the genotypes ranged from 0.40 to 0.91 and averaged D=0.66. Cluster analysis by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages showed one large and one small cluster with eight minor clusters in the large cluster. Several known pedigree relationships largely corresponded with the results of SSR clusters and principal coordinate analysis. Cluster analysis was also carried out by using 22 alleles that separate Wichita 3A from Cheyenne 3A, and three clusters were identified (a small cluster related to Cheyenne of mainly western Nebraska wheat cultivars; a larger, intermediate cluster with many modern Nebraska wheat cultivars; a large cluster related to Wichita with many modern high-yielding or Kansas wheat cultivars). Using three SSR markers that identify known agronomically important quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions, we again separated the cultivars into three main clusters that were related to Cheyenne or Wichita, or had a different 3A lineage. These results suggest that SSR markers linked to agronomically important QTLs are a valuable asset for estimating both genetic similarity for chromosome 3A and how the chromosome has been used in cultivar improvement.
