Diatomaceous earth (DE) can be used as a surface treatment in stored wheat Triticum aestivum (L.) to control pest infestations. However, it is not known how the thickness of the DE-treated wheat layer or grain temperature impact effectiveness. Therefore, we conducted an experiment in growth chambers to assess the effect of different surface layers of hard winter wheat combined with DE on spatia...

Cereal Chem. 73(6):770-774 Analysis of different wheats and flours for vitamin B6 using water exin PN (0.9-2.7 nmol/g). Mean values (± standard deviations) were 5.0 ± tracts and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography 1.8 nmol/g for total vitamin B6; 1.7 ± 0.5 nmol/g for PN; and 3.4 ± 1.8 revealed significant variation in content of pyridoxine (PN) and pyrinmollg for PNG. American ...

Cereal Chem. 81(2):244–248 Red and white wheats must be segregated for marketing purposes because they have different end uses. Identification of wheat color is not straightforward, and currently there is interest in characterizing red and white wheats using spectroscopic methods and chemical tests. The kernels of both red and white wheats exhibit natural fluorescence that can be readily viewed...

can be harvested with only a slight depression in yields (Redmon et al., 1995). Either option leaves a forage Hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major cooldeficit period until warm-season perennial grasses are season forage that couples with warm-season perennials to provide livestock feed in the Southern Plains. Productivity and quality of available for grazing in mid summer. wh...

Cereal Chem. 90(3):240–248 Arabinoxylans (AX), xylanase, and xylanase inhibitors have an important role in many cereal food processing applications. The effects of genotype, growing location, and their interaction (G × L) on AX, apparent xylanase activity, and apparent xylanase inhibition activity of Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor (TAXI) and xylanase inhibiting protein (XIP) were investig...

edible shiitake mushroom is a relatively fragrant mushroom and grows on different types of dead hard woods. this mushroom ranks second in the world in total yearly mushroom production. on the hand, thousand tons of agricultural wastes are burned or discarded yearly. hence, to evaluate the shiitake mushroom production possibility on agricultural wastes, an experiment designed based on completely...

Host plant resistance provided by solid stems has been the most effective means for mitigating wheat stem sawfly (WSS) (Cephus cinctus Norton) damage in spring and winter (Triticum aestivum L.). The trait originates from cultivar “Rescue” is associated with a quantitative locus allele Qss.msub-3BL.b that explains majority of variation solidness. Recently, new Qss.msub-3BL allele, designated Qss...

overuse of chemical inputs and inappropriate use of water resources have caused unsustainability in most agricultural regions of marvdasht county in fars province. for an attainment of sustainable production of wheat, it is necessary to design appropriate communicational models for agricultural inputs and for water optimum usage, however, reviewing agricultural development literature revealed t...

Cereal Chem. 83(4):418–423 Protein and protein fractions were measured in 49 hard winter wheat flours to investigate their relationship to breadmaking properties, particularly loaf volume, which varied from 760 to 1,055 cm and crumb grain score of 1.0–5.0 from 100 g of flour straight-dough bread. Protein composition varied with flour protein content because total soluble protein (SP) and gliadi...
