phytic acid is a major storage form of phosphorous in cereals that acts as food inhibitor by chelating micronutrients and prevents it to be bioavailabe for monogastric animals, including humans. ninety three wheat (triticum aestivum l.) germplasms, including cultivars from india, were characterized for phytic acid and fe contents. phytic acid contents ranged from 0.59 (iitr 92) to 2.08% (iitr 2...

septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph: septoria tritici), is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide that has been intensified recently in some regions of iran including moghan plain. in this study reaction of 23 bread and durum wheat cultivars to 10 isolates of the pathogen collected from moghan region during 2007 and 2008, were evaluated u...

Cereal Chem. 79(3):418–422 The percentage of dark hard vitreous (DHV) kernels in hard red spring wheat is an important grading factor that is associated with protein content, kernel hardness, milling properties, and baking quality. The current visual method of determining DHV and non-DHV (NDHV) wheat kernels is time-consuming, tedious, and subject to large errors. The objective of this research...

Common and dwarf bunt of wheat are recognized as being caused by three closely related species, Tilletia caries and T. laevis as common bunt, and T. controversa as dwarf bunt. The morphological characteristics of two species including T. controversa and T. caries were studied from wheat grown in two provinces of Iran, Lorestan and Chaharmahal–o-Bakhtiari duri...

in order to study the consequences of the application of mycorrhiza and azospirillum inoculants on yield and yield components of wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the research station of shahid chamran university of ahvaz, iran in 2012-13. the experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the treatments including of mycorrhiz...

a three-year field experiment (2004-2007) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at tajarak research station of hamedan to determine proper grain drill for wheat in hamedan dryland areas. in this study, three grain drills including: hamedani barzegar; sahalan kesht; and kesht gostar with wheat seed broadcasting and disking were used. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with f...

in order to study the response of wheat (triticum aestivum) cv. chamran and wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) to different herbicides, a pot dose response experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replication at research greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. different doses of herbicides including clodinafop propargyl, pinoxaden, sulfosulfuron, and met...
