Abstract
High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) at the Glu-1 loci play an important role in the variation of dough strength, elasticity, and end-use quality of bread wheat. Multilocation trials in a wide range of climatic conditions and crop management practices help explain the role of HMW-GSs in the rheological properties of dough. In the current study, allelic variation of HMWs and quality scores were determined in 28 bread wheat cultivars across a wide range of climates and locations in Iran. Twelve HMW-GSs subunits (3 at Glu-A1, 7 at Glu-B1 and 2 at Glu D-1) in 16 unique combinations were identified in the studied cultivars. In the most rheological properties associated with good bread-making quality, the compositions of 1/17 + 18/5 + 10, 1/13 + 16/5 + 10 and 2*/7 + 9/5 + 10 (all with a quality score of 10) had significantly higher values than the other allelic compositions. While, the lowest values were observed in 1/21 + 19/2 + 12 (quality score of 6). The degree of dough softening was significantly greater in 1/21 + 19/2 + 12 than other allelic combinations. At Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1, 2*, 17 + 18 and 5 + 10 had significantly greater qualitative and rheological properties than the other subunits, which are related to the good quality of wheat flour. While null at Glu-A1, subunits 21 + 19 at Glu-B1 and 2 + 12 at Glu-D1 were associated with weak baking quality. Moreover, the highest dough softening values at Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1 were observed in null, 21 + 19 and 2 + 12 subunits, respectively. A negative and significant correlation (P < 0.05) was observed between the degree of dough softening and other qualitative and rheological properties related to good bread-making performance. The results of this study demonstrated the role of HMW-GSs in determining the end-use quality of bread wheat across a wide range of climates and environments.

Abstract
Cereals contribute a major part of human nutrition and are considered as an integral source of energy for human diets. With genomic databases already available in cereals such as rice, wheat, barley, and maize, the focus has now moved to proteome analysis. Proteomics studies involve the development of appropriate databases based on developing suitable separation and purification protocols, identification of protein functions, and can confirm their functional networks based on already available data from other sources. Tremendous progress has been made in the past decade in generating huge data-sets for covering interactions among proteins, protein composition of various organs and organelles, quantitative and qualitative analysis of proteins, and to characterize their modulation during plant development, biotic, and abiotic stresses. Proteomics platforms have been used to identify and improve our understanding of various metabolic pathways. This article gives a brief review of efforts made by different research groups on comparative descriptive and functional analysis of proteomics applications achieved in the cereal science so far.

Abstract
Wheat bread-making quality is mainly determined by glutenin proteins in the grain, which exist in a wide range of variable alleles with differential influence on processing attributes. A recently identified allele, Bx7 over-expression (Bx7(oe) ), has been showing highly significant positive effects on wheat dough strength over the normally expressed Bx7 allele. SDS-PAGE and normal RP-HPLC procedures failed to separate the two alleles. In the current study, an extensively optimised MALDI-TOF based procedure and a refined DNA based marker for efficiently differentiating Bx7(oe) from normal Bx7 allele were established. Results indicated that the MALDI-TOF procedure is cost effective, high throughput, and proven reliable, while the refined PCR marker only amplifies Bx7(oe) allele, a clear advantage over the previously developed codominant marker.

Abstract
Bread is one of the major constituents of the human diet and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important cereal for bread making. The gluten proteins (glutenins and gliadins) are recognised as important components affecting the processing quality of wheat flour. In this research, we investigated a particular glutenin subunit allele in an Australian cultivar, H45. Based on protein and DNA assays, the Glu-B1 allele of H45 seems to be Glu-B1al, an allele that includes a functional duplication of a gene encoding an x-type high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit, and is thought to increase dough strength through overexpression of that subunit. Yet H45 does not have the dough properties that would be expected if it carries the Glu-B1al allele. After confirming that H45 overexpresses Bx subunits and that it has relatively low un-extractable polymeric protein (an indicator of weak dough), we cloned and sequenced two Bx genes from H45. The sequences of the two genes differ from each other, and they each differ by four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the sequence that has been reported for the Glu-B1al x-type glutenin genes of the Canadian wheat cultivar Glenlea. One of the SNPs leads to an extra cysteine residue in one of the subunits. The presence of this additional cysteine may explain the dough properties of H45 through effects on cross-linkage within or between glutenin subunits. We propose that the Glu-B1 allele of H45 be designated Glu-B1br, and we present evidence that Glu-B1br is co-inherited with low un-extractable polymeric protein.

Abstract
We have performed a detailed characterization and identification of wheat gluten proteins obtained from the Teal variety of Canadian hard red spring wheat. RP-HPLC separation of the sample into 35 fractions has reduced the spectral complexity; this was followed by MALDI mass spectrometry (MS), which showed the presence of six or fewer resolved protein components above 20 kDa in each RP-HPLC fraction, giving a total of 93 MS resolved peaks. These included 17 peaks in the omega-gliadin fractions (F1-4), 12 in the high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunit fractions (F5-8), 59 in the alpha- and beta-gliadins and low molecular weight (LMW) glutenin subunit fractions (F9-31) and 5 peaks in the gamma-gliadin fractions (F32-35). Peptide maps of tryptic digests of HPLC fractions were obtained from a tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI QqTOF MS) and were submitted to the ProFound search engine. HMW glutenin subunits including Ax2*, Dx5, Bx7, and Dy10 (consistent with the known profile of Teal), and LMW glutenin subunits including six from group 3 type II and 1 from group 2 type I, were identified with reasonable sequence coverage from HPLC fraction 5, 7, 17, and 18. The identities of the peptides attributed to selected gluten proteins were confirmed using MS/MS with BioMultiView to match the predicted and measured partial amino acid sequences. Because of incomplete wheat DNA databases, many wheat gluten proteins could not be identified. These results suggest that the combination of RP-HPLC with MS and MS/MS techniques is a promising approach for the characterization of wheat gluten proteins.

Abstract
Proteome analyses were carried out on commercial wheat germ of mature grain from the biscuit-making wheat cultivar, Rosella. Wheat germ protein extracts were fractionated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis across two different immobilised pH gradients: pH 4.0-7.0 and 6.0-9.0. A total of 612 individual protein spots were excised from the gels and characterised by peptide mass fingerprinting. From these analyses, 347 individual proteins were identified from protein sequence database interrogation, and 301 different types of protein were catalogued according to protein function. The remaining 265 protein spots gave poor or no matches to proteins in the databases and were not identified in this study. Six different classes of enzymes were identified in the germ, many of them having roles in the mobilisation of energy reserves for germination. Abundantly expressed enzyme classes include the oxidoreductases, transferases and hydrolases. A comparison was also made between the major protein classes expressed in the germ and protein classes expressed in the endosperm from previous proteomic work. This study contributes significantly to our knowledge of protein expression and heterogeneity in the germ of wheat grain and forms the basis for future studies in regard to the characterisation of proteins during the initial stages of germination.

Abstract
Proteome analysis was conducted on the grain of 2 closely related soft biscuit-making wheats (Bowie and Rosella cultivars) differing in processing quality. Comparisons between these wheat cultivars were carried out on total wholemeal proteins, extracts with enriched starch granule proteins, and extracts enriched with gliadin storage proteins, with the intention of characterising, identifying, and cataloguing cultivar-specific proteins that could be used for segregation purposes. Initially, 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis was carried out on total wholemeal proteins using a broad range pH 3–10 immobilised pH gradient for the first dimension. Further screening was carried out using a combination of mid to narrow range immobilised pH gradients, including pH 4–7, 5.5–6.7, 5–8, 6–9, and 6–11. Best cultivar-specific protein fractionation was provided by the pH 5–8 range. Altogether, 4 unique cultivar-specific protein spots were excised from the pH 5–8 gels and identified by means of peptide mass fingerprinting, tandem mass spectrometry, or N-terminal sequencing. Starch granule protein extracts were prepared and fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A western blot was performed and probed with an anti-puroindoline-a antibody. Further to this, extracts enriched in gliadin storage proteins were isolated using 70% ethanol and analysed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The resulting gliadin protein maps showed 18 unique cultivar-specific gliadins. They were excised from the pH 6–9 gels and submitted for N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Overall, this study identified 23 proteins that could be used to distinguish between these closely related cultivars and may provide information on the molecular basis for the differences in processing exhibited by these wheats. The findings reported also contribute to a longer term objective of developing a broad and comprehensive knowledge base of commercial wheats, in regard to protein composition and their inherent processing qualities.

Abstract
High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are important determinants of wheat dough quality as they confer visco-elastic properties to the dough required for mixing and baking performance. With this important role, the HMW-GS alleles are key markers in breeding programs. In this work, we present the use of a PCR marker initially designed to discriminate Glu1 Bx7 and Glu1 Bx17 HMW-GS. It was discovered that this marker also differentiated two alleles, originally both scored as Glu1 Bx7, present in the wheat lines CD87 and Katepwa respectively, by a size polymorphism of 18 bp. The marker was scored across a segregating doubled-haploid (DH) population (CD87 x Katepwa) containing 156 individual lines and grown at two sites. Within this population, the marker differentiated lines showing the over-expression of the Glu1 Bx7 subunit (indicated by the larger PCR fragment), derived from the CD87 parent, relative to lines showing the normal expression of the Glu1 Bx7 subunit, derived from the Katepwa parent. DNA sequence analysis showed that the observed size polymorphism was due to an 18 bp insertion/deletion event at the C-terminal end of the central repetitive domain of the Glu1 Bx 7 coding sequence, which resulted in an extra copy of the hexapeptide sequence QPGQGQ in the deduced amino-acid sequence of Bx7 from CD87. When the DH population was analysed using this novel Bx7 PCR marker, SDS PAGE and RP HPLC, there was perfect correlation between the Bx7 PCR marker results and the expression level of Bx7. This differentiation of the population was confirmed by both SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC. The functional significance of this marker was assessed by measuring key dough properties of the 156 DH lines. A strong association was shown between lines with an over expression of Bx7 and high dough strength. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that there was an additional impact of Glu-D1 alleles on dough properties, with lines containing both over-expressed Bx7 and Glu-D1 5+10 having the highest levels of dough strength. However, there was no statistically significant epistatic interaction between Glu-B1 and Glu-D1 loci.
