The genetic control of the α-amylase isozymes of the durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)

Abstract

The hybridoiogical analysis was provided on several durum wheat genotypes with utilizing three F2 populations developed from the crossing between parental forms that differed in the invariable malt-zone triplet on elecirophoretic spectrum of α-amylase. Three components of this zone are controlled by three genes with an independent way of inheritance: one of them is located on the 6B or 5B chromosome, and two genes are located on the chromosomes of A subgenome.
