PCR amplication and protein analysis of pinA and pinB, the two components of friabilin, a marker protein for grain softness, were carried out in one hundred varieties form India and forty varieties from Kansas State, USA. Glycine to serine change in pinB or null mutation in pinA (absence of gene) has been reported linked with frain hardness. Here we report that majority of Kansas State hard wheats possesss glycine to serine mutation in pinB and few have null mutation in pinA. In contrast, majority of varieties released in India are hard and have null mutation in pinA. There might be some additional mutations that are to be characterized in elucidating the molecular basis of hardness for usage in genetic engineering. PinA and pinB genes have been assigned on the distal part of 5D shrt arm using deletion lines of Chinese spring wheat where hardness gene Ha is reported to be present.
