Abstract

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) techniques were used for the analysis of 14 Yugoslav wheat cultivars. Electrophoregrams were evaluated for the relative mobilities of electrophoretic bands and their intensities. A comparison factor was computed which was higher for closely related cultivars (for example, cultivars KG-56 and KG-58). The wheat varieties showed great variation in their electrophoretic gliadin composition, with 72 different bands of gliadins found. For one cultivar of wheat, 23-30 components of gliadins were found. Chromatograms by HPLC were also observed.
