sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in iran. identification of resistantcultivars is an effective integrated pest management (ipm) strategy. to identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lin...

In Central and Southern Italy, where durum wheat represents one of the most widely cultivated crops, grain filling occurs during Spring, a period characterized by sudden increases in temperature. Wheat grain proteins are classified into albumins, globulins, and prolamins. The nonprolamin fractions include proteins with metabolic activity or structural function. In order to investigate the conse...

Rice is arguably the most important food source on the planet and is consumed by over half of the world’s population. Considerable increases in yield are required over this century to continue feeding the world’s growing population. This meta-analysis synthesizes the research to date on rice responses to two elements of global change, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) and ...

of North America. A total of about 1.5 million ha of durum is planted annually in the USA, with about 80% The accumulation of Cd in edible crops is undesirable because of concentrated in northern North Dakota. In some locapotential risks to human health. Agronomic efforts to lower Cd in foods will be more effective if we understand the extent and causes of spatial tions, durum wheat grain may e...

abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

Cadmium accumulation in grain of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) represents a concern to consumers. In an effort to understand the regulation of Cd accumulation in maturing grain, the remobilization of 109Cd applied to stem and flag leaves was examined in two near-isogenic lines that differ in grain Cd accumulation. Absorbed 109Cd was primarily retained in the labelling flap (50-5...
