Allelic composition of puroindolinium genes and confectionery properties of flour of soft winter wheat samples by О. Ю. Леонов, Я. Ю. Шарипіна, З. В. Усова, К. Ю. Суворова, Т. В. Сахно

“…In the studied sample, Pina-D1 gene is represented by 2 alleles: Pina-D1a and Pina-D1b. 27 samples had Pina-D1a allele, which also allows them to be used in breeding programs for grain quality when crossed with soft samples, 4 ones had Pina-D1b allele. As to Pinb-D1 gene, all hard grain samples had Pinb-D1b allele, and the 'Erythrospermum S 424-1 / 14' line was heterogeneous for Pinb-D1a / Pinb-D1b. …”
