I think you may be right. I also found this when googling "chromosomes gluten", which recurringly refers to the 14 chromosomes and gluten content but doesn't give any reason why: https://www.einkorn.com/3-reasons-einkorn-may-be-easier-to-d... "This study, shows that Einkorn has 10% less amylose than it’s closest cousin, Emmer and 20% less than Rye. It makes me wonder what it would be compared to modern wheat! In addition, the chromosomal count of Einkorn is a simple 14 compared to modern wheat of 42. As the chromosomes of modern wheat has increased, so has the modern wheat berry’s physical size. In ratio to that Amylose and Amylopectin has increased also. Modern wheat has been found to contain 75% Amylopectin." I have a feeling they are correlated due to seed size but the number of chromosomes isn't causative. |
