The concentration and composition of wheat gluten proteins and the presence, concentration and location of cysteine residues therein are important for wheat flour quality. However, it is difficult to identify gluten proteins, as they are an extremely polymorphic mixture of prolamins. We here present methods for cysteine labeling of wheat prolamins with 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) and iodoacetamide (...

The interaction of glycoproteins of rough and smooth microsomal and Golgi membranes with Sepharose-bound lectins has been studied. One of these lectins was a crude preparation from wheat germ lipase which was found to bind primarily to N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Rough microsomes, smooth microsomes and Golgi membranes contain glycoproteins which bind to Concanavalin A (Con A specific for mannose ...

Agricultural residues such as corn fiber, rice hulls and wheat straw can be used as abundant low-cost feedstock for production of fuel ethanol. However, the cost of cellulase enzymes to saccharify cellulose to glucose is a major hindrance. As an alternative, a novel process to obtain industrially important cellulose acetate from these by-products after removing hemicellulosic sugars was develop...

Decomposition influences carbon and nutrient cycling from crop residues. The nylon-mesh-bag technique was implied to study the decomposition N-release dynamics different residues under field conditions. four types of were: maize (lower than 50% below cob), wheat 25% stubbles), a whole mung bean residue, mixture + residue (1:1 ratio) put on soil surface in sub-surface. N release both at-surface-...

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a hexaploid species with A, B, and D ancestral genomes. Most bread wheat genes are present in the genome as triplicated homoeologous genes (homoeologs) derived from the ancestral species. Here, we report that both genetic and epigenetic alterations have occurred in the homoeologs of a wheat class E MADS box gene. Two class E genes are identified in wheat, whea...

Weed behaviour in crop fields has been extensively studied; nevertheless, limited knowledge is available for particular cropping systems, such as no-till systems. Improving weed management under conditions requires an understanding of the interaction between residues and seedling emergence process. This study aimed to evaluate influence maize wheat residues, applied three different quantities (...

Apolipoprotein AI of rats has been synthesized in a cell-free wheat germ system and cotranslationally translocated into dog pancreas microsomal vesicles. Translocation is accompanied by cleavage of a signal sequence of 18 amino acid residues and is dependent on the recently purified signal recognition protein.

Solving traction force and energy consumption problem in crop production, the use of strategically selected bioproducts can change physical properties soil influence changes during tillage technological operations. The aim this work was to investigate different biopreparations on soil, winter wheat residues machine shallow tillage. In spring, after resumption vegetation, seven their mixtures we...

ABSTRACT Strain L324-92 is a novel Bacillus sp. with biological activity against three root diseases of wheat, namely take-all caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Rhizoctonia root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG8, and Pythium root rot caused mainly by Pythium irregulare and P. ultimum, that exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activity and grows at temperatures from 4 to 40 degree...

Wheat gliadin has been found by two different methods to contain three N-terminal histidine residues for each molecular weight of 27,000. Trace amounts of N-terminal aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, and serine were also detected in the preparation used. Hydrolysis in boiling hydrochloric acid partially destroyed the di-2,4-dinitrophenyl derivative of histidine. Losses of from 5% t...
