August 2021: Wheat hardness (Ha) locus genes curated from the WGC

Grain hardness in wheat is determined by the alleles at the Ha locus on 5D.

Three genes are involved, two purindolines (Pina and Pinb) and a 'grain softness protein' (Gsp-1). Please see the gene record to access the alleles noted below.

Pina-A1
Pina-A^m^1
Pina-D1 with 18 alleles.

Pinb-A1
Pinb-A^m^1
Pinb-D1 with 29 alleles.

Gsp-A1
Gsp-B1
Gsp-D1 with 10 alleles

Links to MASWheat are included for Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 genes and alleles included in the CAPs assay.
