Jinan 177 （JN177） and Agropyron elongatum were characterized via genomic PCR. Four clones were pseudogenes because they contained an internal stop codon. The remaining nine variants contained intact open reading frames （ORFs）. Sequence alignment indicates that the proteins deduced from the nine ORFs have similar primary structure with LMW-GS cloned from its parents previously. However, they have some unique modifications in the structures. For example, EU292737 contains not only an extra Cys residue in the C-terminal domain but also a long repetitive domain. Both EU 159511 and EU292738 start their first Cys residue in the N-terminal repetitive domain, but not in the N-conserved domain traditionally. These structural alterations may have positive contributions to wheat flour quality. The results of phylogeny showed that most LMW-GS variances from 11-12 were homologous to those from parent JN177 and other wheat lines. The reason for quick evolution of LMW-GS in 11-12 was discussed.展开更多
