%X Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) endosperm protein fingerprints were used to determine the indices of Japanese soft Udon-noodle quality. The endosperm proteins of Japanese Udon wheat lines were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine differences between them in protein composition in two soil environments. The differences between the lines included differences in the composition of the endosperm with regard to the 53 kDa protein band or high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) 2* and in the sensory viscoelasticity score of cooked noodles, which is related to eating-quality in Japanese Udon wheats. One line (Kanto 107) showed variation for the presence of the 53 kDa and HMW-GS 2* bands between environments.
