The genetic control of grain esterases in hexaploid wheat

Abstract
A comparison of EST-5 grain esterase phenotypes from wheat-alien amphiploid, addition and substitution genotypes, resolved by flat-bed isoelectric focusing identified homoeologous Est-5 loci on chromosome 3H of Hordeum vulgare, 3Hch of H. chilense, 3Sb of Aegilops bicornis, 3S1 of Ae. sharonensis and Ae. longissima and 6R of Secale cereale and 6Rm of S. montanum. The Est-5 genes in alien species provide evidence for chromosome homoeology with wheat.
