Background Wheat protein is responsible for various kinds of allergic disease. Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is one of the most important clinical phenotypes of adult wheat allergy. Relatively homogenous clinical and immunological presentations of this phenotype have already been described. More recently, some studies have shown that sensitization to hydrolyzed wheat prot...

Ozone stomatal fluxes were modeled for a 3-year period following different approaches for a commercial variety of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf. cv. Camacho) at the phenological stage of anthesis. All models performed in the same range, although not all of them afforded equally significant results. Nevertheless, all of them suggest that stomatal conductance would account for the main percent...

WRKY transcription factors have been extensively characterized in the past 20 years, but in wheat, studies on WRKY genes and their function are lagging behind many other species. To explore the function of wheat WRKY genes, we identified a TaWRKY68 gene from a common wheat cultivar. It encodes a protein comprising 313 amino acids which harbors 19 conserved motifs or active sites. Gene expressio...

Biomass can indicate plant growth status, so it is an important index for plant growth monitoring. This paper focused on the methodology of estimating the winter wheat biomass based on hyperspectral field data, including the LANDSAT TM and EOS MODIS images. In order to develop the method of retrieving the wheat biomass from remote sensed data, routine field measurements were initiated during pe...

Although the widespread influence of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurrences on crop yields of the main agricultural commodities is well known, the global socio-economic consequences of ENSO still remain uncertain. Given the global importance of wheat for global consumption by providing 20% of global calories and nourishment, the monitoring and prediction of ENSO-induced variations ...

The results of two experiments with wheat grain inoculated with Penicillium verrucosum are reported. In Experiment I, wheat grain, containing 10, 20 and 30% water, was incubated for 2 weeks at 10, 15, 21 and 28 degrees C. In Experiment II, wheat grain, containing 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22% water, was incubated for 2 weeks at 10, 15, and 20 degrees C. At initial moisture content (IMC) of the wheat g...

A microwave backscattering model of winter wheat based on the vector radiative transfer theory has been established. The model focused on the distribution of wheat ears that are directly related to the yield. In addition, characteristics of the wheat growth have been adequately considered. Compared to the measured values, the model effectively simulated the microwave backscattering characterist...

to better understanding of drought resistance features including tolerance to chemical desiccation and transient photosynthesis under soil moisture stress in triticale in comparison with wheat and barley, an experiment was conducted during year 2009-10 in grizeh agricultural research station located in sanandaj. effect of three soil moisture regimes including irrigation in soil water potential ...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the most important factors to affect the yield and quality of crops worldwide especially in wet harvest period. Breeding PHS-resistant cultivars has important implications to improve the wheat quality and production. The PHS is determined by environmental conditions, inner factors and interaction between these factors. We here reviewed recent advances influ...
