Summary
Polymorphism and inheritance of wheat storage protein, gliadin, of durum (macaroni) and carthlicum wheats have been studied. Analysis of gliadin in 78 cultivars and in F2 seeds of intercultivar crosses of durum wheat revealed three different chromosome 1A-encoded blocks of components similar to those found in common wheat (GLD1A2, GLD1A18, GLD1A19). Most of the durum cultivars studied had these three blocks; GLD1A2 was also frequent in common wheat. In contrast, all chromosome 1B-encoded blocks of durum clearly differed in component composition from those found in common wheat. Therefore, durum could not be an ancestor or a derivate of recent bread wheat. Analysis of gliadin in the collection of carthlicum wheat (14 accessions) revealed several suspected chromosome 1A, 1B, and 6A-controlled blocks, some of which were similar to those in common wheat, while others were different. Therefore, carthlicum is likely to be an ancestor or a derivate of some forms of bread wheat. There were also chromosome 1A and 6A-, but not 1B-encoded blocks which were identical in durum and carthlicum wheats. The results confirm that all three wheats share the same genome A, but emphasize the heterogeneity of genotypes among donors of this genome. Discovery of identical blocks in tetraploids and hexaploids indicates polyphyletic [from different genotypes of donor (s)] origin of these wheats.
