The dynamics of rye chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis was analyzed in a subset comprising 33 F3 lines from the cross of wheat, Psathyrostachys huashanica amphiploid (AABBDDNsNs) and hexaploid triticale (AABBRR), as visualized by genomic in situ hybridization. The results indicated that 31 of the total lines contained 4-14 rye chromosomes. Twenty-eight combinations had more rye chromosomes ...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies show inverse relationship between intake of wholegrain cereals and several chronic diseases. Components and mechanisms behind possible protective effects of wholegrain cereals are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To characterise commercial rye bran preparations, compared to wheat bran, regarding structure and content of nutrients as well as a number of presumabl...

The prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing continuously worldwide. These metabolic diseases are associated with many health issues, including increased risk of depression and cognitive impairment. Whole grain (WG) has shown potential to prevent obesity, T2D and CVD. One mechanism can be related to gut fermentation of specific indigestible car...

1 2 Scope: Understanding relationships between dietary whole grain and health is hindered by 3 incomplete knowledge of potentially bioactive metabolites derived from these foods. We 4 aimed to discover compounds in urine correlated with changes in amounts of wholegrain rye 5 consumption. 6 Methods and Results: After a wash-out period, volunteers consumed 48 g wholegrain rye 7 foods per day for ...

Rye chromosomes were selectively stained in the meiosis of triticale by means of heterochromatin banding techniques. Compared to wheat chromosomes, rye chromosomes showed reduced pairing at first meiotic metaphase. Within the rye genome this pairing failure was associated with the presence of large, terminal heterochromatic bands. Since these terminal bands of rye chromosomes are late replicati...

Wheat bran, rye, millet and corn meal supplements used alone or in various combinations with mixed oak sawdust significantly influenced crop cycle time, biological efficiency (BE) and basidiome quality of maitake (Grifola frondosa). The combination of 10% wheat bran, 10% millet and 10% rye and the combination of 10% wheat bran plus 20% rye gave the highest and most consistent yields. The shorte...

In tetraploid rye with single-substitution wheat chromosomes - 1A, 2A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 3B, 5B, 7B - chromosome pairing was analysed at metaphase I in PMCs with the C-banding method. The frequency of univalents of chromosome 1A was considerably higher than that of the other four wheat chromosomes of genome A (6A, 5A, 7A and 2A). Among chromosomes of genome B, the lowest mean frequency of univalents ...

The relative suitability of potato and crops frequently grown in rotation with potato as hosts for Pratylenchus penetrans was evaluated. Suitability of rye, wheat, corn, oat, sorgho-sudangrass, and potato were compared in pot studies based on ratios of final population : initial population density and densities of nematodes in roots at harvest. Population densities increased more on potato, oat...

bacterial leaf streak (bls) caused by xanthomonas translucens pv. cerealis (xtc) is an important disease of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) worldwide. the management methods presently in practice are insufficient to meet current safety and/or efficacy standards. therefore, use of resistant genotypes is the best approach to manage bls. the present study was undertaken to identify possible sources o...
