Table 1 Effects of nitrogen topdressing timing on contents of total protein, gliadin, glutenin, glutenin macropolymers (GMP), high- and low-molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS and LMW-GS), and the ratio of gliadin to glutenin in wheat flour

From: Nitrogen topdressing timing modifies free amino acids profiles and storage protein gene expression in wheat grain

Treatment	Protein (%)	Gliadin (%)	Glutenin (%)	Gliadin/ Glutenin	GMP (%)	HMW-GS (%)	LMW-GS (%)
TL5	13.85^c	3.14^c	3.36^c	0.93^a	3.18^c	0.86^b	2.54^b
TL3	14.38^b	3.59^b	4.04^b	0.89^a	3.97^b	0.90^b	2.68^b
TL1	15.79^a	4.45^a	5.00^a	0.89^a	4.96^a	1.01^a	3.18^a

TL5, TL3 and TL1 indicate topdressing timing of nitrogen at the growth stage of fifth, third and first leaf (flag leaf) from the top, respectively. Letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05
