Registration of four durum germplasms carrying glutenin allele Glu-D1d on a 1AS.1AL-1DL translocation chromosome

The translocated segment in all four geneotypes should be identical since all trace back to the same BC^sub 1^F^sub 2^ plant, and hence the same translocation event in the BC^sub 1^F^sub 1^ The size of the translocated 1DL segments in S99B34 and L252 were characterized by fluorescent genomic in situ hybridization as comprising 31% of the distal end of the translocated arm (Xu et al., 2005). (2005) indicate that the translocation lines have inconsistent dough mixing characteristics and no improvement in loaf volume, the results also suggest that it may be possible to improve baking quality by combining 5+10 with other HMW or LMW glutenin subunits or possibly other gliadins.
