Wheat flours are used to produce bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, and biscuits; the various properties of these end-products are attributed to the gluten content, produced as seed storage proteins in the wheat endosperm. Thus, genes encoding gluten protein are major targets of wheat breeders aiming to improve the various properties of wheat flour. Here, we describe a novel compensating wheat-Th...

Intrapineal neurons and intracapsular and intrapineal myelinated fibers were studied by light microscopy in male cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) at various postnatal ages. Until 300 days of age, neurons are encountered mainly in the distal third of the organ; neuronal nuclei are largest in this region. The remaining regions contain only a few neurons with smaller nuclei. In all regions, nuclear...
