Abstract	The amount of individual high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits of bread-wheat has been studied in relation to variation at homoeologous loci and in the general genetic background The relationships between Glu-1 loci have been studied using near-isogenic lines (NILs) of the variety Sicco and in the progenies of two crosses. Substitution of the Sicco Glu-D1 allele by a null-allele resulted in higher amounts of the homoeologous subunits. The presence of a Glu-A1 null-allele did not have a noticeable effect on the amounts of homoeologous subunits. In three out of four NILs and in the sister-lines of two crosses, the amounts of HMW-subunits did not depend on the allele make-up at homoeologous loci. Only in the NIL which contains the Glu-D1 allele, encoding subunits 1Dx2.2 and 1Dy12, was the amount of homoeologous subunits lower than the amount of these subunits in Sicco. This study suggests a relation between the amount of HMW-subunits encoded by an allele and its contribution to bread-making quality. The effect of genetic background has been studied using F4 and F5 lines of two crosses. The total amounts of subunits, relative to the total amount of kernel proteins, showed a considerable variation between lines. The ratio between individual subunits did not differ between genetic backgrounds. Because this ratio is also largely independent of differences in environmental conditions, it is concluded that the relative amount of a subunit is a valuable measure for the detection of. genetically-determined differences in the expression of HMW-subunit genes.
