Growing with Wheat and Barley Rusts for Three Decades

Barley Growing

Wheat and Barley

Moisture adsorption rates for stored grains are important for accurate modeling of drying and storage. Wheat and barley samples at initial moisture contents typical of grain storage were exposed to several levels of higher humidity at two temperatures to measure adsorption rates. The best fit to the data was achieved with the Page equation and the cellular diffusion equations. The adsorption ra...

Three Decades of Continuous Records for Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL)

The Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL) was established in 1986 at Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran as the main base and the mother of biophysical chemistry in Iran. BCL is a famous worldwide research lab in the area of thermodynamics of protein denaturation and biomacromolecular interaction. The first student that joined BCL was MSc student in 1987, while...

Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?

"> The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties andlandraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysisof spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage along withmeasurements of agronomic and morphological traits were employed to explain thediversity of wheat and barley varieties or landraces grown by farmers in Syria.Farm...

Carboxylic Acids in Wheat, Rye and Barley

Organic acids from w heat ( Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), and barley (Hordeum vulgare, var. “G erbel” and “ Igri” ) were analysed by gas c h ro m a to g ra p h y -m ass spectrom etry. Two carboxylic acid fractions were obtained by chrom atography on Sephadex LH 20: frac­ tion A contained m ainly aliphatic acids, fraction B contained m ainly arom atic acids. The identified com pounds...
