Wheat genetic resources may be grown in organic farming systems or in less favourable areas for bread wheat species. Characteristics of hulled wheat species (23 varieties of einkorn, emmer wheat, spelt wheat) were studied and evaluated within a two-year trial period (which was executed on certified organic fields) and they were compared to characteristics of landraces and modern bread wheat var...

Dehydrated uncooked potato (Irish and sweet) flour was blended by weight with commercial wheat flour at 0 to 10% levels of substitution to make bread. Comparative study of the microbial and nutritional qualities of the bread was undertaken. The total aerobic bacterial counts ranged from 3.0 × 10(5) cfu/g to 1.09 × 10(6) cfu/g while the fungal counts ranged from 8.0 × 10(1) cfu/g to 1.20 × 10(3)...

secale cereale is a nosious, problematic weed of wheat fields in iran. for evaluation of the yield and yield components of bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars in the presence of rye an experiment was established in a randomized compelet block design with factorial arrangment of treatments in meshkindasht and varamin during 2002-2003 growin season. experimental factors were wheat cultiv...

The spontaneous translocation of the short arm of chromosome 1 of rye (1RS) in bread wheat is associated with higher root biomass and grain yield. Recent studies have confirmed the presence of QTL for different root morphological traits on the 1RS arm in bread wheat. This study was conducted to address two questions in wheat root genetics. First, does the presence of the 1RS arm in bread wheat ...

ERECTA encodes a receptor-like kinase and is proposed as a candidate for determining transpiration efficiency of plants. Two genes homologous to ERECTA in Arabidopsis were identified on chromosomes 6 (TaER2) and 7 (TaER1) of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with copies of each gene on the A, B and D genomes of wheat. Similar expression patterns were observed for TaER1 and TaER2 with relative...

To save the cost and input energy for bioethanol production, a consolidated continuous solid-state fermentation (CCSSF) system composed of a rotating drum reactor, a humidifier and a condenser has been developed. In this research, the feasibility of using this system for production of ethanol from food wastes was carried out. The ethanol conversion of bread crust and rice grain (uncooked rice) ...

Islah çalışmalarında belirlenen amaca uygun genotiplerin seçimi, çalışmanın sağlıklı bir şekilde yürütülmesi için önem arz etmektedir. Bu noktada oluşturulan popülasyonun karakterize edilmesi elzemdir. Çalışmada bazı ileri ekmeklik buğday hatlarının tarla koşullarında morfolojik özellikleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmada 18 adet hattı ve iki kontrol çeşidi, tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 t...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most plant scientists, in contrast to animal scientists, study only half the organism, namely above-ground stems, leaves, flowers and fruits, and neglect below-ground roots. Yet all acknowledge roots are important for anchorage, water and nutrient uptake, and presumably components of yield. This paper investigates the relationship between domestication, and the root systems ...
