Extracts of disomic wheat-barley addition lines were tested for the presence of a barley malt endopeptidase (MEP-1) by employing isoelectric focusing (IEF) and western blotting. The blots were probed with polyclonal antibodies raised against MEP-1 purified from the endosperms of 5-day-old germinated barley seedlings. The endopeptidase was detected in the Betzes barley cultivar and the addition line containing the full genome of the wheat cultivar Chinese Spring plus a chromosome 3 pair from Betzes barley. The endopeptidase was not expressed in Chinese Spring nor the addition lines containing other Betzes chromosome pairs. The endopeptidase was detected in a ditelosomic addition line containing the long arm of Betzes chromosome 3. We have concluded that the gene coding for MEP-1 (Cep-B) is located on the long arm of Betzes chromosome 3.
