Drought stress is one of the leading constraints to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production globally. Breeding for drought tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy. This study aimed to determine the level of drought tolerance among diverse bread wheat genotypes using agronomic traits and proline analyses and to establish correlation of proline content and agro...

In this study, the effect of some pre-treatments (conventional and 40 kHz 200 W ultrasound soaking) on corn drying was studied. One-hour pre-treated samples were dried at 80, 90 100 °C in laboratory type convective air dryer for 240 min time. The moisture contents physical characteristics such as length, width, thickness, equivalent diameter, volume, sphericity, thousand kernel weight hectolite...

Wheat is a major staple food crop providing about 20% of dietary energy and proteins, and food products made of whole grain wheat are a major source of micronutrients like Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Vitamin B and E. Wheat provides about 40% intake of essential micronutrients by humans in the developing countries relying on wheat based diets. Varieties with genetically...

growing demand for wheat grain with optimal technological parameters results in looking for the possibilities of accurately meeting the plant needs. environmental conditions in the surroundings of germinating grains can be improved by application of humic preparations. qualitative features of grain can be also changed by foliar application of potassium, which is the activator of enzymes catalys...

Abstract Background and aims Pb Sn concentration increase rapidly due to the industrial revolution cause a significant reduction in wheat production productivity. Understanding genetic control of tolerance is very important produce cultivars that are tolerant such metals. Methods Extensive analyses using genome-wide association study, functional annotation, gene enrichment were investigated set...

Phenotyping, via remote and proximal sensing techniques, of the agronomic and physiological traits associated with yield potential and drought adaptation could contribute to improvements in breeding programs. In the present study, 384 genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were tested under fully irrigated (FI) and water stress (WS) conditions. The following traits were evaluated and assesse...

The effective use of high-quality and high-yielding germplasm resources is of great importance for the development hulless barley varieties. Therefore, search such has long been a goal breeding community. In this study, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) analysis was performed on an F2 (Nierumuzha × Kunlun 10) population. A high-density genetic map constructed, which contained 1 475 efficie...
