    Patent number: 5177024
    Abstract: The three amino acid sequence TCP (threonine-crysteineproline) has been found, in wheat glutenin, to correspond to good bread-making qualities in wheat flour. This sequence, and 32 nine amino acid sequences containing it, can be detected by amino acid analysis of the glutenin, by specific monoclonal antibodies or by analysis (e.g. nucleotide sequence analysis or hybridization assays) of the wheat genome.
