| Abstract | Wild tall wheatgrass (Lophopyrum elongatum L., 2x = 14) is an important resource for improving bread wheat (Titicum aestivum L.), including HMW-GS and LMW-GS relevant to end-use quality of the wheat flour. A set of 14 distinct sequences were amplified from the genomic DNA of the tall wheatgrass, using degenerate primers targeted at Glu-3, the locus containing the genes encoding the low-molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS). Three sequences contained an internal stop codon and were classified as pseudogenes. The other 11 all consisted of a single intron-less intact open-reading frame. An alignment of deduced protein sequences showed that the primary structure of all 11 sequences was similar to that of wheat and other wheat-related grass Glu-3 genes. All 11 sequences carried the 14 amino acid residue N-terminal motif MESNIIISFLK/RPWL, and were classified as LMW-m genes, based on the identity of the first amino acid of the mature protein. All but one of the sequences contained seven cysteine residues (the exception had 6). Their repetitive domain differs significantly from that present in Glu-3 genes isolated from the close relative intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum Intermedium, 6x). A phylogenetic analysis showed that the tall wheatgrass sequences were closely related to those of the intermediate wheatgrass, but only distantly so to those from decaploid tall wheatgrass. One of the 11 LMW-GS peptides with a free-cysteine residue was heterologously expressed in E. coli and purified in sufficient scale to perform a flour supplementation test. This showed that the dough strength of bread wheat flour was significantly increased by the presence of the tall wheatgrass LMW-GS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
