We used a segregating population derived from a cross between two Spanish bread wheat landraces (Richela Blanca and Jeja Pardilla) showing striking differences according to SDSS tests. Quantification of prolamins by RP-HPLC confirmed a wide range of variation in the HMW/LMW glutenin subunit ratio within the population. Then, we selected 22 lines that represented the available variation. Subsequently, we obtained high-quality SDS-PAGE images following a standard protocol to characterize glutenin allelic variants. Estimation of HMW/LMW-GS ratio was obtained by analyzing the intensity of HMW-GS and LMW-GS gel bands.
