Seed borne mycoflora associated with ten commercial varieties of wheat viz. Blue silver, Faisalabad 85, Manthar-3, Pak 81, Parwaz 94, Pirsabaq 2005, Punjnad-1, Sariab-92, Sh-2002 and Wafaq-2001 was investigated through standard blotter paper and agar plate method by using Mann-Whitney U test. At least eleven fungal genera were recovered from seeds. The most frequently isolated fungi were Bipola...

Most elite wheat varieties cannot be crossed with related species thereby restricting greatly the germplasm that can be used for alien introgression in breeding programs. Inhibition to crossability is controlled genetically and a number of QTL have been identified to date, including the major gene Kr1 on 5BL and SKr, a strong QTL affecting crossability between wheat and rye on chromosome 5BS. I...

Metabolic changes in spikelets of wheat varieties FL62R1, Stettler, Muchmore and Sumai3 following Fusarium graminearum infection were explored using NMR analysis. Extensive 1D and 2D 1H NMR measurements provided information for detailed metabolite assignment and quantification leading to possible metabolic markers discriminating resistance level in wheat subtypes. In addition, metabolic changes...

in order to evaluation the effect of mixed cropping on yield and agronomical characteristics of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) varieties, a field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at city of mahvelat in khorasan razavi province, iran, during growing season of 2007-2008. treatments including five sole cultures of conventional wheat cultiv...

Sumintary. A spring wheat (Triticumo aestivumin) and(I anl obligate winter wheat (Triticumt compactutm) variety were each grown for 5 weeks in controlled environments at 20 and 250. The threshold for flower induction in the winter wheat was 4 to 5 weeks at 20, whereas the spring wheat had no low temperature requirement for flowering. Changes in the levels of carbohydrate and nitrogen fractions ...
