In this present study, crude oil, fatty acid and mineral compositions of wheat (Triticum sp. L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), triticale (Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, respectively, from Turkey were investigated. Both the distribution of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), and the mineral contents of ...

Application of rapid and time-efficient health diagnostic and identification technology in the seed industry chain could accelerate required analysis, characteristic description and also ultimately availability of new desired varieties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of multispectral imaging and single kernel near-infrared spectroscopy (SKNIR) for determination of seed healt...

Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is an artificial hybrid of wheat (Triticum sp.) and rye (Secale sp.) first bred in laboratories during the late 19 century. In little more than a century, triticale has developed from a biological curiosity to a practical crop. Plant breeders have made efforts to overcome main problems of triticale: preharvest sprouting, susceptibility to diseases, sensitivi...

Article history: Received on: 26/11/2013 Revised on: 08/12/2013 Accepted on: 14/12/2013 Available online: 31/12/2013 Hexaploid triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is a man-made hybrid that consists of 3 genomes, A, B and R, the Aand B-genome from wheat and the R-genome from rye. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are transferable between closely related species. The aim of this study was to ...

Two starch granule-bound proteins (SGP), SGP-140 and SGP-145, were preferentially associated with A-type starch granules (>10 microm) in developing and mature wheat (Triticum aestivum) kernels. Immunoblotting and N-terminal sequencing suggested that the two proteins were different variants of SBEIc, a 152-kD isoform of wheat starch-branching enzyme. Both SGP-140 and SGP-145 were localized to th...

The man-made cereal triticale was fully resistant to the biotrophic diseases powdery mildew, leaf rust, yellow and stem rust from its introduction in Europe mid-1970s until about 1990. In following years, new races that were able infect at least some genotypes developed all four pathogen populations, resistance breeding came into focus. Here, we analyzed 656 winter cultivars 12 countries for th...
