Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansion, and final grain weight at different positions within spikelets were investigated in a recombinant inbred line mapping population of bread wheat ...

the objective of this study was to determine the quicker response of subsoil or surface soil to minimum tillage (mt) and conventional tillage (ct) and biofertilizers (bacillus coagulans, b), phosphorus fertilization (p) and integrated p and b (pb) under the wheat (triticum aestivum l vr. sardari) growing season. the experimental design was split plot laid out in randomized complete block design...

Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout the world, and it has been extensively studied for its allelopathic potential. In contrast, for allelopathy in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum), our knowledge is partial and fragmentary. Through highlighting r...

One of the goals of organic crop production is to grow species which combinetraditional pro-healthy properties, innovative cultivation practices and harmonywith the environment. Among the ancient species the spring spelt is especiallypredisposed for organic farming. In comparison with common wheat spring spelthas a relatively short research history on physiological analysis of growth anddevelop...

in order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of shiraz university. results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was planted as winter crop using raised bed and conventional planting system with four N levels at Regional Wheat Research Station, Rajshahi (latitude 28°75′ N and longitude 92°58′ E), during November to March in 2002 and 2003 to study N content in grain and straw, uptake of total nitrogen, N use efficiency, fertilizer recovery percentage and grain yield. The highes...

BACKGROUND Lipids are minor components of flours, but are major determinants of baking properties and end-product quality. To the best of our knowledge, there is no single solvent system currently known that efficiently extracts all non-starch lipids from all flours without the risk of chemical, mechanical or thermal damage. This paper compares nine ambient solvent systems (monophasic and bipha...
