Identification of new nucleotide sequences of the <i>Glu-B1-1</i> gene encoding x-type glutenins in bread wheat by A. A. Galimova, B. R. Kuluev

“…Studies of the genetic base and polymorphism of bread wheat cultivars aimed at identifying alleles of genes associated with high baking and other economically valuable traits seem to be relevant, since bread wheat, along with all representatives of the Triticeae tribe, has a huge genetic potential for creating cultivars with high technological and rheological properties of grain flour. The aim of this study was sequencing and analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the Glu-B1-1 gene, and analysis of the predicted amino acid sequences of its protein product in three cultivars of bread wheat. …”
