%X The endosperm storage proteins of 174 Japanese wheat (Triticum aestivum) landraces were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine their high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunit composition. These are alleles for complex gene loci, Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1, that are present in Japanese hexaploid wheat landraces. These were identified by comparison with the subunit mobility previously found in hexaploid wheat. Twenty-four different, major glutenin HMW subunits were identified. Each landrace contained 3&#8211;5 subunits, and 17 different glutenin subunit patterns were observed for 13 alleles in Japanese landraces. Japanese landraces showed specific allelic variation in glutenin HMW subunits, different from those in non-Japanese hexaploid wheats.
