This issue of Diabetes Care contains an article by Jenkins et al. (1) with a surpris ing, perhaps counterintuitive result. The authors studied 23 type 2 diabetic volunteers in a randomized cross-over design with 3 months consumption of wheat bran contributing 19 g fiber per day, compared with 3 months consumption of refined grain with 4 g fiber per day. The wheat bran supplement had no discerni...

Root traits influence the amount of water and nutrient absorption, and are important for maintaining crop yield under drought conditions. The objectives of this research were to characterize variability of root traits among spring wheat genotypes and determine whether root traits are related to shoot traits (plant height, tiller number per plant, shoot dry weight, and coleoptile length), region...

Stem rust has become a renewed threat to global wheat production after the emergence and spread of race TTKSK (also known as Ug99) and related races from Africa. To elucidate U.S. winter wheat resistance genes to stem rust, association mapping was conducted using a panel of 137 lines from cooperative U.S. winter wheat nurseries from 2008 and simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence tagged site...

Rodents are one of the most important vertebrate pests which directly and indirectly distress to the production of crops and storage of grains. Rodents especially under the Family Muridae can cause serious damage to cereal crops of all kinds including wheat. The present investigation was conducted to observe the pattern of damage by rodent (Rrodentia: Muridae) pests in wheat in conjunction with...

Wheat is one of the three major agricultural crops worldwide. The yield any crop, including spring soft wheat, largely depends on compliance with regional requirements during its cultivation, while variety decisive factors. current research aims to identify difference in structure and grain quality wheat varieties Altai foreign selection for Tyumentsevsky district (Altai Krai) first time.

Cereal Chem. 67(l):10-13 The performance of a soy polysaccharide blend in soft wheat products regarding volume, color, and crumb grain. Japanese udon noodles enwas evaluated; AACC soft white wheat bran was used as a reference riched with 8% soy polysaccharides were slightly yellowish and not gritty, fiber source. In Chinese steamed breadmaking, up to 10% soy polywhereas 8% bran imparted a brown...

The effect of allelopathy in the joint germination winter soft wheat with alfalfa changeable and galega orientalis is studied. influence on indicators early growth processes vice versa was evaluated. In experiment alfalfa, laboratory root length decreased by 4-21% 3-10%, number roots sprout increased to 22% 8-29%, respectively. galega, germination, 7-15%, 7-16% 4-6%, incidence fungal diseases s...
