Abstract
Gliadin allele compositions of 21 Canadian spring common wheat cultivars, most of which belonged to the Canada western red spring (CWRS) class, were studied and great similarity in their genotypes was confirmed It was found that alleles frequent in the set of Canadian wheats (such as Gli-B1d, Gli-d1j, Gli-A2m, and Gli-D2h) are very rare or absent in common wheat cultivars from other regions and countries studied earlier, indicating that germplasm of CWRS cultivars is rather unique It may be suggested that alleles frequent in Canadian cultivars relate to important technological characteristics of these wheats and may possibly serve as marker genes during selection for quality traits Similarity of gliadin electrophoregrams obtained by two different acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic procedures for the same genotype was established, and the component composition of allelic variants of blocks of gliadin components found in the set of Canadian cultivars and in standard cultivars Chinese Spring and Bezostaya 1 are described
