silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. we evaluated growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv. chamran) under water-deficit stress induced by polyethylene glycol as affected by si application. in this article, the effects of si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (rwc), electrol...

in this study, genetic diversity of 20 wheat genotypes was evaluated using 126 simple sequence repeats (ssr) alleles, covering all three wheat genomes. a total of 1557 allelic variants were detected for 126 ssr loci. the number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 19 and the allelic polymorphism information content (pic) varied from 0.66 (xgwm429) to 0.94 (xgwm212 and xgwm515). the high­est po...

the present study aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of bread and durum wheat. to this end the experiment was conducted in 2010-2011 in south west of iran as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plot included four levels of nitrogen 60, 120, 180, 240 kg.ha-1 and the sub plot included four...

Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout the world, and it has been extensively studied for its allelopathic potential. In contrast, for allelopathy in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum), our knowledge is partial and fragmentary. Through highlighting r...

The antidiabetic and antioxidant potential of Triticum aestivum were evaluated by using in vivo methods in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in the Wistar strain albino rats by injecting streptozotocin at a dose of 55 mg/kg body weight. Ethanolic extracts of Triticum aestivum at doses of 100 mg/kg body weight were administered orally for 30 days. Various para...

12W932-349 is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar registered for Ontario, Canada. It has high grain yield with good pastry quality and moderately resistant to Fusarium head blight. well adapted the growing areas of Ontario.

pasting is one of the most important properties of wheat starch determining the flour quality and functionality. twenty three new plant type (npt) wheat derivatives along with three checks (pbw 343, hd 2329, and raj 3765) have been studied in multi-location trials to assess the variation and environment induced fluctuations for their starch pasting properties. although all flour pasting charact...

We submitted to ozone treatment Triticum aestivum (common wheat) seeds severely contaminated by fungi. Fungi colonies developed when seeds were placed over malt agar medium in Petri dishes; Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. were identified. However, conventional colonies counting did not allow a clear assessment of the effect of ozone disinfection. We thus used self-organizing maps (SOMs) to perf...

Chromium was not required for normal growth of romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. subsp. longifolia), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), or bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in solution culture containing 3.8 x 10(-4) muM Cr. Plants grown on this purified nutrient solution contained an average of 22 ng Cr/g dry weight. Duckweed (Lemna sp.) grew and reproduced norma...
