BACKGROUND Although increased consumption of dietary fiber and grain products is widely recommended to maintain healthy body weight, little is known about the relation of whole grains to body weight and long-term weight changes. OBJECTIVE We examined the associations between the intakes of dietary fiber and whole- or refined-grain products and weight gain over time. DESIGN In a prospective ...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum lines, is an artificial hexaploeid wheat (2n=6x=42, aabbebeb) from crossing between triticum durum (2n=4x=28, aabb) and thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n=2x=14, ebeb) species. in this study the salt tolerant potencial of new primary tritipyrum lines for nacl (0, 100, 200 mm) in an hydroponic experiment was studied in a completely randomized split plot design with th...

Grain weight is one of the most important components of grain yield and is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) derived from natural variations in crops. However, the molecular roles of QTLs in the regulation of grain weight have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of GW2, a new QTL that controls rice grain width and weight. Our data show that GW2...

in order to determine the best traits related to indirect increasing of grain yield, five wheat genotypes (zagros, tajan, durum cul., kohdasht and n-81-18 line) were evaluated by using randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural recourses. the studied traits included leaf area index (lai), crop growth ra...

this experiment was done to evaluate the effect of nano iron oxide on some morphophysiological traits  of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) at  shahr-e qods region  in years of 2013 and 2014. experimental design, was factorial in a randomized complete block with four replications. treatments included, treatment of date of nano iron sparaying in milky  and pasty stage and another treatment was, conce...

Cereal Chem. 86(2):239–246 Test weight and groat proportion are two very important quality characteristics of oat grain. In this study, we pose the hypothesis that these two characteristics are related through characteristics of grain density. Test weight is defined as the product of kernel density and packing proportion. Groat proportion, in theory, is the ratio of the groat mass to the kernel...
