Abstract
Barley bread has a high content of β-glucans and other fibers which makes it a low glycemic food product; and the consuming of barley bread is associated with lower blood cholesterol levels and reduced risk of colon cancer (Mendis and Simsek., 2014; El-Khoury et al., 2012). However, using barley flour in bread making is difficult because it decreases the sensory characteristics and qualities of bread, such as color, texture, and loaf volume.
We identified the existence of a new family of barley seed Proteins (WSPN) that could be related to the qualities of barley bread. We found three WSPNs in the prolamin fraction of barley flour. They are encoded by three linked genes. None of them have previously been annotated in the barley genome. All three genes were expressed specifically in seeds and have no detectable expression in the leaves. When comparing barley varieties, we found that higher gene expression levels of the WSPN genes were correlated with better baking qualities.
