Stripe rust [caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks. (Pst)] is a destructive disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Genetic resistance is the preferred method for control and the Yr5 gene, originally identified in Triticum spelta var. album, represents a major resistance (R) gene that confers all-stage resistance to all currently known races of Pst in the Unite...

Growing understanding of the relationship between nutrition and human health has led to an increase in consumption alternative crops, new cereal varieties foods with higher nutritional values. In this study we compared contents functional-technological properties spelt (Triticum spelta L.) bread wheat (T. aestivum whole-meal flours, obtained from genotypes grown at same field trial, their corre...

To produce a good F1 hybrid variety wheat crop, it is necessary to explore novel cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines and their maintainer line. This study aimed to identify cytoplasmic variation in three isonuclear-alloplasmic male sterile lines Aegilops kotschyi (Ae.kots) -90-110, Aegilops ventricosa (Ae.ven) -90-110, and Triticum spelta (T.spelta) -90-110 and their maintainer line, A-90-11...

This paper presents new archaeobotanical data from the Lower Cerovačka Cave located in Dalmatia, Croatia. At site a high density of carbonized plant remains was recovered, indicating remnants burnt crop store dating to Late Bronze Age. Overall, assemblage is dominated by lentil (Lens culinaris) and free-threshing wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum), lesser extent, emmer dicoccum), einkorn monococcu...

L-Sorbose, an excellent cellulase and xylanase inducer from Trichoderma reesei PC-3-7, also induced alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (alpha-AF) activity. An alpha-AF induced by L-sorbose was purified to homogeneity, and its molecular mass was revealed to be 35 kDa (AF35), which was not consistent with that of the previously reported alpha-AF. Another species, with a molecular mass of 53 kDa (AF53), ...
