source of complete resistance is known, and current sources provide only partial resistance. Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Schwabe [teleomorph Gibberella zeae (Schwein.)], also known as scab, is a destructive disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L; T. turcurrently ranks FHB as the worst plant disease of wheat gidum L...

Thirty six male Chall lambs (four-month old and 26  ±1.5 kg body weight) were randomly assigned into four treatments (nine lambs per treatment) to study the effect of Powerfeed® (a commercial mixture made from wheat processing by-product and wheat bran) on weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, serum sodium and potassium concentration and urine pH. Lambs in control group were fed with...

UNLABELLED Summary Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), the most economically important virus of small grains, features highly specialised relationships with its aphid vectors, a plethora of novel translation mechanisms mediated by long-distance RNA interactions, and an ambiguous taxonomic status. The structural and movement proteins of BYDV that confer aphid transmission and phloem-limitation pro...

Two 2 × 2 factorial experiments were conducted to investigate the interaction between cereal type (wheat v. barley) and exogenous enzyme supplementation (with or without) on odour and ammonia emissions (experiment 1) and growth performance (experiment 2) in grower-finisher pigs. The enzyme supplement used contained endo-1, 3 (4) - β- glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6) and endo-1, 4 - β-xylanase (E.C 3.2.1....

Case presentation We report the case of a girl with celiac disease who subsequently developed IgE mediated hypersensitivity to wheat. The patient is a Caucasian female who was diagnosed with celiac disease at 18 months of age after presenting with recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive. Her anti-tTG antibody level was greater than 200 E.U. and biopsy results from endoscopy were consistent wit...

this study was carried out to determination of in vitro binding capacity of organic (wheat and barley) and inorganic (perlite) sources for mn, zn, cu, and fe. for this reason wheat and barley were analyzed chemically for moisture, protein, ash, and ether extract, total carbohydrate, ndf, adf, adl, crude fiber, viscosity, cellulose, and total dietary fiber. the in vitro mineral binding capacity ...

Cereals including wheat and barley are of primary importance to ensure food security for the 21st century. A combination of lab- and field-based approaches has led to a considerably improved understanding of the importance of organ and particularly of whole-plant (monocarpic) senescence for wheat and barley yield and quality. A delicate balance between senescence timing, grain nutrient content,...

Effects of soluble and insoluble fiber preparations isolated from defatted oat, barley, and wheat on liver cholesterol accumulation were examined in cholesterol-fed rats. The soluble and insoluble fiber preparations were isolated by a modification of the procedure of Asp et al. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 5 weeks, were fed a control diet containing 5% cellulose or diets containing soluble an...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) are often stored dry with 14% or less moisture, which during rainy periods may require that grains are dried after harvest. The hypothesis is that air-tight storage of high-moisture barley and wheat will increase nutrient digestibility due to chemical conversions prior to feeding. The objective was to evaluate the effect of high moisture co...

The experiment was conducted under a controlled environment to study the effects of different temperature regimes (15/10°C,20/15°C, and 25/20°C day/night) and sowing depths (0, 2, 4, and 6 cm) on the seedling emergence and early growth (height gain) of wheat (cv. Marvdasht) and wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum).The cumulative emergence and plant height gain over time were modeled with the use of...
