title: Wheat storage proteins: glutenin diversity in wild emmer, Triticum dicoccoides, in Israel and Turkey. 2. DNA diversity detected by PCR.
abstract: Germplasm of Triticum dicoccoides collected from different environments in Israel was evaluated by using the PCR as a molecular marker. Two pairs of primers were used in the PCR in amplifying the DNA tracts coding the high-and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Analyses reveal great variability within and between populations indicating the high values of this germplasm for future breeding programs to improve the protein quality in wheat.
