Sixty Triticum tauschii [Aegilops squarrosa] (2n = 2x = 14, DD) accessions were evaluated for variability of high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenins, gliadins and isozymes of seed esterase, beta -amylase and glucose-phosphate isomerase. Wide variability was observed for HMW-glutenins and gliadins. The implications of unique HMW-glutenin alleles for quality parameters were discussed. Isozyme evaluations indicated more variability for the Est-Dt5 locus as compared to the Est-D5 of bread wheat. The polymorphism for beta -Amy-Dt1 was less than that of beta -Amy-D1. Similar to bread wheat, Gpi-Dt1 showed no polymorphism. The variability observed with the traits evaluated was observed in T. turgidum x T. tauschii synthetic hexaploids (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) suggesting that T. tauschii accessions may be a rich source for enhancing the genetic variability of bread wheat cultivars
