Respiration has a profound influence on crop yield because dry matter accumulation by a crop is closely related to assimilation of CO and respiratory activity. This paper describes the development of a 2 simulation model for respiration in wheat. While the growth respiration can be assumed to be proportional to the assimilation of CO , the model concentrated on the effects of biotic and environ...

Anaerobically treated seedlings of Oryza sativa L. var arborio accumulated in their shoots more succinate than lactate and cell sap became alkaline. Conversely, in Triticum aestivum L. var MEK 86 lactate accumulation was far higher than that of succinate and cell sap was acidified. Anoxia clearly induced proton consumption in both species as an important means to prevent or counteract acidosis....

Wet chemistry was used to produce copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). The results indicated that most were bacillus-shaped and relatively uniform in size (less than 30 nm). effect of synthesized CuO NPs on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) germination growth parameters studied compared bulk Cu. showed no significant difference obtained rate among all treatments. Bulk Cu additions significantly aff...

Thirty-one varieties of wheat cultivated in Romania were analyzed regarding the genetic diversity and physicochemical properties, including following determinations: moisture, ash, protein, wet gluten, lipid, starch content, falling number damaged starch, considering particularity each species, its biological status origin. The data showed that samples presented large variability. properties fl...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers with a total of 256 EcoRI + ANN - MseI + CNN primer combinations were investigated employing the common wheat cultivar Triticum aestivum 'Chinese Spring.' On average, 103 fragments per primer combination were amplified, ranging from a maximum of 226 fragments to a minimum of 18 fragments. The primer combinations E + AAA - M + CNN and E + ATT...
