The influence of grain hardness, determined by using molecular markers and physical methods (near-infrared (NIR) technique and particle size index-PSI) on dough characteristics, which in turn were determined with the use of a farinograph and reomixer, as well as bread-making properties were studied. The material covered 24 winter wheat genotypes differing in grain hardness. The field experiment...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in thyroid hormone metabolism may affect thyroid hormone bioactivity. We investigated the occurrence and possible effects of SNPs in the deiodinases (D1-D3), the TSH receptor (TSHR), and the T(3) receptor beta (TR beta) genes. SNPs were identified in public databases or by sequencing of genomic DNA from 15 randomly selected subjects (30 a...

The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through introduction of Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles. These Rht-1 alleles encode growth-repressing DELLA genes containing a stop codon within their open reading frame that confers gibberellin (GA)-insensitive semi-dwarfism. In this study, we successfully took hurdle detecting wild-typ...

The central Keraf suture recorded complex lithospheric-scale deformation associated with the formation of Neoproterozoic Arabian-Nubian shield and hosts WG03, Central Zone UTM gold deposits, Gabgaba district, NE Sudan. This study aims at (i) unravelling tectonic history by (ii) interpreting spatial genetic relationships between structural setting mineralization. To this end, we coupled field pe...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat and triticale has a high priority the European Union because of strict guidelines for major mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) zearalenone (ZON) admission policy regulatory authorities. Potentially 70% arable land Germany about 60% Austria can be affected by Fusarium. Although epidemics occur only some years and/or regions, DON ZON are detected every ...

The relative (to BEt3) hydride ion affinity (HIA) of a series of acridine borenium salts has been calculated, with some HIAs found to be similar to that for [Ph3C]+. The HIA at the acridine C9 position is controlled by both acridine and the boron substituents, the latter presumably affecting the strength of the B=N bond in the acridane-BY2 products from hydride transfer. Through a range of hydr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The gibberellin-insensitive Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing genes are known to reduce the size of cells in culms, leaves and coleoptiles of wheat. Resulting leaf area development of gibberellin-insensitive wheats is poor compared to standard height (Rht-B1a and Rht-D1a) genotypes. Alternative dwarfing genes to Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b are available that reduce plant height, such as ...

Abstract Background The overall genetic distribution and divergence of cloned genes among bread wheat varieties that have occurred during the breeding process over past few decades in Ningxia Province, China, are poorly understood. Here, we report diversities 44 important related to grain yield, quality, adaptation resistance 121 86 introduced cultivars advanced lines. Results population struct...
