Abstract
Because of deficiencies in some important biochemical components the nutritional value of wheat is lower than that of other important crops. Improvement of these traits could be achieved by transferring genes coding specific storage proteins from some spelt to the common wheat. Some near isogenic lines were derived from the cross combination between a spelt and the Elena wheat cultivar, differing in individual ω-gliadin subunits. For the these genotypes protein content, sedimentation value, amino acid composition, zinc, iron and magnesium content as well as some immunochemical properties of gliadins by the ELISA test were analyzed. Spelt wheat turned out to be a valuable source of traits important from the nutritional standpoint. Moreover, the relationships between the spelt specific ω-gliadins and variability of nutritional value suggests that the identified protein subunits could be used as markers of genes responsible for this trait. On the other hand, if we take the results of ELISA test as an indicator of gliadin toxicity for the afflicted with coeliac, it follows that spelt is the most toxic among analyzed wheat forms. Chemically modified „nongliadin” wheat flour samples were also analyzed. Decreasing of baking quality as well as allergenic properties was observed.
