Nucleotide sequences of the two high-molecular-weight glutenin genes from the D-genome of a hexaploid bread wheat, Triticum aestivum L. cv Cheyenne

The high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenins are one of several families of storage proteins found in wheat flour. They comprise about 10% of the total protein, and are a critical component contributing to the visco-elastic properties of dough unique to wheat. Here the authors report the nucleotide sequence of the two HMW genes from the D-genome of the hexaploid bread wheat Triticum aestivum L. cv Cheyenne.
