To provide a new way to increase water storage and retention of dryland wheat, a field study was conducted at Wenxi experimental site of Shanxi Agricultural University. The effect of subsoiling in fallow period on soil water storage, accumulation of proline, and formation of grain protein after anthesis were determined. Our results showed that subsoiling in fallow period could increase water st...

Sedimentary features and amino-acid content are described for several lakes in the Anoka sand plain, east-central Minnesota, other lakes in Minnesota, Flathead Lake, Montana, Pyramid Lake, Nevada, and Catahoula Lake, Louisiana. The limnology of the Anoka Sand Plain lakes is related to the characteristics of the "gray" sandy calcareous Mankato drift of the Des Moines lobe which underlies much of...

BACKGROUND Tarhana is a fermented cereal product that is used for the preparation of one of the favourite soups in Turkish cuisine. Tarhana is a mixture of wheat flour, yoghurt, baker's yeast, salt, and various vegetables, spices and seasonings. It is obtained by mixing all ingredients in the recipe and afterwards the mixture is let to ferment at room temperature. Following fermentation tarhana...

Glutelins and prolamins are the major storage proteins of rice (Oryza sativa) seeds. These proteins have been extensively studied recently at the molecular level. To date, more than 10 rice prolamin cDNA clones (Kim and Okita, 1988; Masumura et al., 1990), but far fewer genomic clones (Kim and Okita, 1988; Feng et al., 1990), have been described. In this report we describe another rice prolamin...

A comparative study of proteome and transcriptome changes during Medicago truncatula (cultivar Jemalong) seed development has been carried out. Transcript and protein profiles were parallel across the time course for 50% of the comparisons made, but divergent patterns were also observed, indicative of post-transcriptional events. These data, combined with the analysis of transcript and protein ...

The polypeptide subunits of wheat glutenin obtained after reductive cleavage of disulfide bonds have been separated into two fractions by a modified Osborne technique. Approximately 62% of the subunits by weight are soluble, as is gliadin, in neutral 70% ethanol; the ethanol-soluble subunits are mainly of 44,000 molecular weight (MW). The ethanol-insoluble glutenin subunit fraction is markedly ...

Cereal Chem. 63(5):420-427 The genetic variability of the storage proteins in grain of several inbreds silver stain. RP-HPLC was performed on a large pore column by gradient and hybrids of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and varieties elution with increasing concentration of acetonitrile in water. Both representing different races was investigated by separating extracted separations indic...
