In this study, a total of 244 wheat and wheat-based products collected from Romania were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in order to evaluate the presence of four enniatins (ENs; i.e., ENA, ENA1, ENB, and ENB1) and beauvericin (BEA). For the wheat samples, the influence of agricultural practices was assessed, whereas the results for the wheat-based products...

Wheat grain protein content (GPC) is a key component when evaluating wheat nutrition. It is also important to determine wheat GPC before harvest for agricultural and food process enterprises in order to optimize the wheat grading process. Wheat GPC across a field is spatially variable due to the inherent variability of soil properties and position in the landscape. The objectives of this field ...

ABSTRACT A total of 78 isolates of Puccinia triticina from durum wheat from Argentina, Chile, Ethiopia, France, Mexico, Spain and the United States and 10 representative isolates of P. triticina from common wheat from the United States were tested for virulence phenotypes on seedling plants of 35 near-isogenic lines of Thatcher wheat. Isolates with virulence on lines with leaf rust resistance g...

We previously found red wheat more effective than white wheat in reducing colon cancer risk in rats when fed during initiation and postinitiation stages. Here we examine the effect of wheat on colon cancer risk in early and late postinitiation stages in carcinogen-treated rats. Four groups were fed a basal diet, 1 group a red wheat diet, and 1 group a white wheat diet. After 6 wk, 1 basal, the ...

Wheat (729.8 million tons) is second to rice as the main human food crop (FAO, 201415). In India, wheat is cultivated extensively in North-Western and Central zones. The area, production and productivity of wheat in India and Haryana during 2014-15 is 31.46 mha, 86.53 mt, 2749 kg ha -1 and 2.60 mha, 10.35 mt, 3980 kg ha -1 , respectively (Anonymous, 2014-15). Late sowing of wheat is a major pro...

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune and multisystem gluten-related disorder that causes symptoms involving the gastrointestinal tract and other organs. Pathogenesis of CD is only partially known. It had been established that ingestion of gluten proteins present in wheat and other cereals are necessary for the disease and develops in individuals genetically predisposed carrying the DQ2 or DQ8 h...

a study of physiological responses of different wheat cultivars to saline conditions can lead to an identification of the main mechanisms in salt tolerance. seven bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance with varying ability of sodium accumulation in their different tissues were employed to assess ion distribution and sodium accumulation under saline conditions. ion distribution and na...

Abstract This study provides a comparative assessment of the effectiveness active ingredients fungicidal preparations and in mixture with organomineral fertilizers on reducing infection seed germination spring wheat plants initial phases ontogenesis. For research, 8 different combinations fungicides pure form fertilizer. The application fungicide did not affect growth energy, but most cases rat...
