Survival of floret primordia initiated seems critical for the determination of grain number and yield in wheat, and understanding what determines floret mortality would help in the development of more robust physiological models of yield determination. The growth of the juvenile spikes has been frequently considered the determinant of grain number, implying that floret development would depend ...

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a syndrome characterized by intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms related to the ingestion of gluten-containing food in subjects who are not affected by either celiac disease (CD) or wheat allergy Published online: November 26, 2015 Prof. Carlo Catassi Via F Corridoni 11 IT–60123 Ancona (Italy) E-Mail c.catassi @ univpm.it © 2015 S.

Specific IgE to gliadin was proposed as a marker for wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis, while Tri a 14 was found to induce IgE response in baker's asthma. We evaluated whether these components could be used for discriminating phenotypes of wheat allergy. Twenty-nine patients who were wheat-induced anaphylaxis and/or urticaria (n=21, group I) and baker's asthma (n=8, group II) were en...

We consider the general behaviour of cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory where the dilaton is self-interacting via a potential V (Φ). We show that the general radiation universe is a two-dimensional dynamical system whereas the dust or false vacuum universe is threedimensional. This is in contrast to the non-interacting dilaton which has uniformly a two-dimensional phase space. We find the phase ...

The data presented are related to the research article entitled "Comparison of the dietary fibre composition of old and modern durum wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. durum) genotypes" (De Santis et al., 2018) [1]. This article provides details of the structures of the major dietary fibre components, arabinoxylan and β-glucan, in semolina and wholemeal flour of old and modern Italian durum wheat ge...

Wheat is a common cause of food allergy. Wheat-induced anaphylaxis (WIA) and wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) are severe forms of immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated allergic reaction to wheat protein. As the diagnosis of WIA or WDEIA is not easy because of the risk of oral challenge, identification of specific IgE of various wheat proteins is helpful for diagnosis. In Korea, th...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a main component of the daily diet but can cause three distinct forms of wheat allergy: Baker’s asthma, wheat food allergy and wheat pollen allergy. The panel of wheat allergens is still incomplete. The aim of the study was to identify and characterize wheat allergens for the development of improved diagnostic tests and allergen-specific forms of treatm...

BACKGROUND The natural history of wheat allergy varies among different countries. OBJECTIVE To study the age of resolution from IgE-mediated wheat allergy and to define the predictors of wheat tolerance. METHODS Patients with a history of immediate reactions after wheat ingestion were enrolled. Skin prick test (SPT) and measurement of serum specific IgE (sIgE) to wheat and ω-5 gliadin were ...
