Abstract
An isolated protein that is highly abundant in the seed of wheat varieties with desirable breadmaking qualities is provided. Associated promoters and promoter active fragments are also provided. Further provided are plants or plant parts with improved or enhanced breadmaking properties, and methods of producing such plants, wherein the abundance of the isolated protein is increased or enhanced. Such plants and/or plant parts may be used in the production of plant products, for example bread and read products.
