Wheat Grass Benefits

Gene-containing regions of wheat and the other grass genomes.

Deletion line-based high-density physical maps revealed that the wheat (Triticum aestivum) genome is partitioned into gene-rich and -poor compartments. Available deletion lines have bracketed the gene-containing regions to about 10% of the genome. Emerging sequence data suggest that these may further be partitioned into "mini" gene-rich and gene-poor regions. An average of about 10% of each gen...

Competition of Western Wheat Grass with Relict Vegetation of Prairie

Challenges and Benefits of Interseeding Legumes into Grass Dominated Stands

Interseeding legumes into grass-dominated stands can benefit pasture and hay producers by increasing the yield and quality of forage they produce and reducing their need for inputs of nitrogen fertilizer. The challenge is to get the legumes established given the competition from existing vegetation. This study confirmed that suppressing the grasses with glyphosate prior to seeding results in th...

Effect of grass-clover forage and whole-wheat feeding on the sensory quality of eggs.

BACKGROUND A sensory panel evaluated the sensory profile of eggs from hens from three experimental systems: (1) an indoor system x normal layer diet (InL), (2) a grass-clover forage system x normal layer diet (GrL), and (3) a grass-clover forage system x whole wheat and oyster shells (GrW). RESULTS The taste of the albumen was significantly more 'watery' and the yolks a darker yellow/orange i...

Wheat Grass Juice in Thalassemia LETTERS TO THE EDITOR INDIAN PEDIATRICS

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 79 VOLUME 43JANUARY 17, 2006 Lipoblastomas are circumscribed while lipoblastomatosis is diffuse and infiltrative. It is important to completely excise the tumor to avoid leaving residual tumor and to prevent recurrences which mostly occur within 2 years. Confusion with myxoid liposarcoma, well-differentiated liposarcoma, and typical lipomas may occur. Anup Mohta, Ritesh K. Ana...
