Bioethanol is mostly produced from wheat starch in Sweden. Due to the increasing wheat price it is no longer profitable to produce bioethanol from wheat. In this paper the conditions for converting a wheat bioethanol plant to a lignocellulosic bioethanol plant are studied. The most suitable lignocellulosic feedstock is investigated and soft wood chips are chosen based on bioethanol ...

The research examined effect of climate variability on yield of the two dominant cool weather cereals (wheat and barley) in central highland and Arssi grain plough farming systems of Ethiopia using eight round unbalanced panel data (1994-2014). The stochastic frontier model result revealed that production inputs for producing wheat and barley in the two farming system had significant effect. Cr...

Drought escape (DE) is a classical adaptive mechanism which involves rapid plant development to enable the completion of the full life-cycle prior to a coming drought event. This strategy is widely used in populations of native plants, and is also applicable to cereal crops such as wheat. Early flowering time and a shorter vegetative phase can be very important for wheat production in condition...

Fusarium sp. has been shown to be a promising organism for enhanced production of xylanases. In the present study, xylanase production by 21 Fusarium sp. isolates (8 Fusarium culmorum, 4 Fusarium solani, 6 Fusarium verticillioides and 3 Fusarium equiseti) was evaluated under solid state fermentation (SSF). The fungal isolate Fusarium solani SYRN7 was the best xylanase producer among the tested ...

One of Ethiopia’s main challenges is increasing wheat production and productivity by designing implementing an appropriate policy. The country has a supply demand gap, forcing the to spend substantial amount foreign currency for imports, which are primarily derived from coffee oilseed exports. imbalance between presents serious policy issues. purpose this study was evaluate effects policy, proc...

iran achieved its self-sufficiency goal in wheat production a few years ago. some opponents argue that the increased wheat production has happened at the expense of decreasing other grains specially barley. considering the dependency of wheat and barley markets on each other, the study estimates policy preference functions for each market, separately. using weights according to the political in...

environmental issues have attracted many concerns in recent years. life cycle assessment (lca) is a method that evaluates all environmental effects of a product during its life cycle. the objective of this study was to introduce lca [to persian researchers] and to use it in assessment of environmental impact of wheat production in gorgan, ne iran compared to european counties. first, data were ...
