Competition and yield advantage in barley-barley and barley-oats mixtures

Oats and barley toxicity in coeliac patients.

The effect of addition of oats and barley to the glutenfree diets of a group of patients with coeliac disease has been studied using the oral 5 g xylose excretion test to assess small bowel function before and after these supplementations. Both oats and barley were found to be potentially harmful to coeliac patients although the toxic effect of barley was more readily produced than that of oats...

Root Rots of Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley

The root rots of wheat, oats, barley, and rye are among the least conspicuous diseases of cereals, but they are among the most destructive. They are caused by many species of fungi, which are widespread and live on or in seed, soil, and dead plant refuse. They attack a large number of hosts and thrive under a wide range of conditions. To the many types of root rots in cereal crops many names ha...

DNA Comparisons among Barley, Oats, Rye, and Wheat.

F all groups of plants, none can match the cereal grains in importance to O m a n . Their origins in cultivation have been traced back some 9,000 years to the beginnings of agriculture ( HELBAEK 1960). Extensive cytogenetic studies have been undertaken with this group of plants from which their taxonomic and supposed evolutionary relationships may be deduced (BELL 1965; RILEY 1965). Some of the...

Modelling effects of Barley yellow dwarf virus on growth and yield of oats

Effect of Barley yellow dwarf virus Infection on Yield and Malting Quality of Barley

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD), the most common and widespread virus disease of cereal crops worldwide (14), may be caused by any one of several Barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs) of the family Luteoviridae. Transmitted by at least 25 aphid species (24), these viruses historically have been classified into two subgroups and five strains based on aphid vector specificity and efficiency (31). However...
