Abstract
The Austrian bread wheat Amadeus without and with 1BL/1RS translocation and three further translocation genotypes with known HMW subunit compositions were grown under the same environmental conditions. Their flours were chara cterised by the determination of crude protein content and, partly, by the determination of glutathione and cysteine. Furthermore, the qualitative and quantitative composition of gluten protein types was analysed by a combine d extraction and reversed phase HPLC procedure. Dough development time, max imum resistance and extensibility of dough and gluten, and bread volume wer e determined by means of microscale methods. Protein, glutathione and cyste ine contents of flours were only slightly influenced by translocation. The HPLC patterns of gliadins and glutenin subunits showed that translocation c aused characteristic changes concerning omega-gliadins, gamma-gliadins and LMW subunits of glutenin. The amount of omega 1,2-gliadins was significantl y increased and that of LMW subunits decreased. The effect of translocation on the rheological properties of dough and gluten was characterised by a s trongly reduced dough development time, reduced maximum resistance and incr eased extensibility. Bread volume was decreased by about 10%. The amount of glutenin subunits was correlated with dough development time, resistance o f dough and gluten, and bread volume to a higher extent (r=0.79-0.91) than the amount of gliadins (r=0.52-0.80). Correlation coefficients for LMW subu nits were higher (r=0.82-0.88) than those for HMW subunits (r=0.35-0.61) wh en all five wheats were included. Instead, when only translocation lines we re considered, HMW subunits (r=0.89-0.98) were more important than LMW subu nits (r = 0.64-0.86). Altogether, the results demonstrate that translocatio n causes important quantitative as well as qualitative changes in gluten pr otein composition which can be efficiently determined by reversed phase HPL C.
