High molecular weight glutenin (HMW) subunits in stay-green trait in wheats

The objective of this work was evaluate stay-green trait behavior in wheat plants as bread-making quality through eletrophoretic standars of this proteins and phenotypic Pearson correlation among adaptatives caracters as head-date and plant stature, coloration (stay-green) and proteic scores. The experiment was driven in field conditions and laboratory in the years of 1999 and 2000. The trait stay-green expressed in the appraised genotypes showed high correlation with the proteic scores obtained through the eletrophoretic analysis of this subunits could be suggested as parameter to select superior plants for glutenins and consequently with larger bread-making quality.
