frost tolerance of winter wheat depends primarily on a strong vernalization requirement, delaying the transition to reproductive phase. the responses of four bread wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) to low-temperatures were examined in controlled environment and field conditions. prolonged cold treatment accelerated the transition to reproductive development in winter wheats (cv. norstar an...

Water stress effects on winter and spring leaves anatomy were investigated in experiments conducted at the experimental field of SB University of Kerman using five wheat cultivars.Xylem and phloem elements diameter and mesophyll, bundle sheath and epidermal cells area were measured in transverse sections prepared from middle parts of the leaves. Results showed that significant difference exists...

Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Erikks. is an economically important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Hexaploid spring wheat landrace PI 480035 was highly resistant to stripe rust in the field in Washington during 2011 and 2012. The objective of this research was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for stripe rust resistance in PI 480035. A sprin...

Stripe rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a global concern for wheat production, and has been increasingly destructive in Ethiopia, as well as in the United States and in many other countries. As Ethiopia has a long history of stripe rust epidemics, its native wheat germplasm harbors potentially valuable resistance loci. Moreover, the Ethiopian germplasm has ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The ω-gliadin storage proteins of wheat are of interest in relation to their impact on grain processing properties and their role in food allergy, particularly the ω-5 sub-group and wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The ω-gliadins are also known to be responsive to nitrogen application. This study therefore compares the effects of cultivar and nitrogen availabili...

Low grain protein in hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a serious challenge for rainfed growers, particularly years with elevated yield. Proper nitrogen (N) management adequate N rate and application timing critical optimizing yield content. This 2-yr experiment evaluated the effects of different rates timings (fall, spring, split) on two HRW cultivars. Field studies were con...

The main growing regions for winter wheat in the Russian Federation are North Caucasian, Central Black Earth, and agroecological regions. Spring crops dominate Urals, Volga region, Western Siberia. Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is an important disease, impacting greatly on production. In Russia, disease was annual problem until 2010 but has since been more effectively controlle...

Predicting the rate of leaf appearance, or phyllochron, aids in understanding and modeling grass development and growth. Nine equations predicting the phyllochron of wheat (Tria'cum aesfivurn L.) were evaluated using field data from a variety of locations, cultivars, and management practices. Each equation is referred to by the last name of the first author; if there is more than one equation b...

fusarium head blight (fhb) is an important disease in wheat worldwide that reduces grain yield, quality as well as contaminates grains to the mycotoxins. thirty spring wheat genotypes including 28 bread wheat and two durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for fhb under a randomized complete block design with three replications. grain yield and its components were evaluated by using two environmen...
