“…HMW-GS are encoded by Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1 loci on the long arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B, and 1D, respectively, while LMW-GS are encoded by Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 loci on the short arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B, and 1D, respectively (Payne et al 1987). It has been noted that allelic differences in the composition of HMW-GS and LMW-GS induce changes in the structure and properties of the glutenin polymers and, consequently, the baking quality (Payne et al 1987;Shewry et al 2003). The wheat genes that encode HMW-GS constitute 5 to 10% of the grain storage proteins and are related to the strength and elasticity of the dough (Shewry et al 2003;Blechl and Vensel 2013).…”
