Pakistan falls into arid and semi-arid regions of climatic conditions. Areas receiving a rainfall less than 100 to 250 mm to less than 500 mm are called semi-arid lands. These lands constitute about 88% of the country’s total geographic area of 79.6 x 106 ha and are prone to occasional drought resulting in low or no production. Drought is one key constraint that influences our national wheat yi...

Cereal Chem. 70(l):51 -55 Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) levels were determined on individual and for the different wheats at similar cumulative flour yields. Less than 10% pooled millstreams of five cultivars representative of five different classes of the total PPO activity was present in cumulative flour streams of Canadian wheat. The wheats were milled on a pilot mill to extraction corresponding ...
