The low-molecular weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) composition of wheat () flour has important effects on end-use quality. However, assessing the contributions of each LMW-GS to flour quality remains challenging because of the complex LMW-GS composition and allelic variation among wheat cultivars. Therefore, accurate and reliable determination of LMW-GS alleles in germplasm remains an important challenge for wheat breeding. In this study, we used an optimized reversed-phase HPLC method and proteomics approach comprising 2-D gels coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to discriminate individual LMW-GSs corresponding to alleles encoded by the , , and loci in the 'Aroona' cultivar and 12 'Aroona' near-isogenic lines (ARILs), which contain unique LMW-GS alleles in the same genetic background. The LMW-GS separation patterns for 'Aroona' and ARILs on chromatograms and 2-D gels were consistent with those from a set of 10 standard wheat cultivars for . Furthermore, 12 previously uncharacterized spots in 'Aroona' and ARILs were excised from 2-D gels, digested with chymotrypsin, and subjected to MS/MS. We identified their gene haplotypes and created a 2-D gel map of LMW-GS alleles in the germplasm for breeding and screening for desirable LMW-GS alleles for wheat quality improvement.
