Dissecting and Enhancing the Contributions of High-Molecular-Weight Glutenin Subunits to Dough Functionality and Bread Quality
Dear Editor,Seed storage proteins (SSPs) are frequently important determinants of crop quality traits (Shewry and Casey,1999).Dissecting and enhancing the genetic contributions of individual SSPs to their target traits are essential for effectively improving crop quality attributes.However,such a task is often difficult to accomplish,because SSPs are frequently expressed from multigene families and exhibit strong allelic variation.Consequently,detailed knowledge of the function of individual SSPs in crop quality trait is still limited.This scenario is well illustrated by high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMWGSs),a complex family of SSPs that are involved in wheat enduse quality through affecting dough functionality (Békés,2012;Rasheed et al.,2014).
