High molecular weight (HMW) secalin genes of endosperm proteins in rye are useful molecular makers for the long arm of chromosome 1R, together with a target of bread making quality improvement. The locus of HMW secalin was mapped and it was designated Sec 3 by Shewry et al (1984a) and Glu-R1 by Singh and Shepherd (1984).

We found two different loci of Sec 3 on the 1RL by F2 analysis using some inbred lines having different HMW secalin subunits.


Materials and Methods

Four inbred rye lines, IR27, IR48, IR51 and IR94 were chosen from The Tottori University Collections for making two cross combinations, IR51 x IR48 and IR27 x IR94. IR5I has three HMW seclain subunits which were denoted by band Nos.1, 2 and 5 after electrophoresis fractionation and IR48 has band Nos. 2 and 6 (
Fig. 1). IR27 and IR94 have band Nos. 4, 5 and Nos. 2, 4, 5', respectively, where, band No. 5' showed the same mobility but thin staining compared with band No. 5.

F2 seeds were obtained from single F1 plant in each cross combination. Same weight of flour samples were taken from single grains in F2 seeds lot and the samples were fractionated by the SDS-PAGE method by Payne et al (1980) with a slight modification.


Results of F2 analysis

1. F2 of IR51 (Band Nos. 1, 2, 5) x IR48 (Band Nos. 2, 6): The bands 1, 5 and 6 segregated in the F2 population (
Fig 1). Results of the chi2 goodness of fit test for Mendelian segregation were shown in Table 1. The table shows that band Nos.1, 5 and 6 were monogenic character and band No.1 vs. No. 6 and No. 5 vs. No. 6 were allelic, but band No.1 vs. No. 5 was nonallelic with considerable linkage. An estimation for recombination value between the two loci was made by maximum likelihood method as show in Table 2. Recombination value between the loci, 1-6 and 5-6, was calculated to be 7.0 + or - 1.0%

2. F2 of IR27 (Band Nos. 4, 5)
x IR94 (Band Nos. 2, 4, 5'): Three kinds of bands, Nos. 2, 5 and 5' segregated in the F2 population. Results of the chi2 tests indicated that band No. 2 vs. null and No. 5 vs. No. 5' was allelic (Table 1). The recombination value between the two loci was 11.2 + or - 4.1 %.
