Analysis of the two glutamine repeats in the 31 obtained full-ORF α-gliadin proteins from diploid wheat species, according to the genome of origin. The average number of the glutamine residues in the first (Q1) and second repeat (Q2) are shown according to the genome of origin. The A genome (T. monococcum) sequences possessed a significantly higher average number of glutamine residues in the first glutamine repeat (27.7 +/- 1.7) than the B (20.0 +/- 3.4) and D (20.7 +/- 1.1) genomes did. For the second glutamine repeat, the B genome sequences demonstrated a significantly higher number of glutamine residues (18.8 +/- 1.9) than those of the other two genomes (A, 10.2 +/- 0.6; D, 9.7 +/- 1.4).
