Production of bioethanol from agricultural residues and hays (wheat, barley, and triticale straws, and barley, triticale, pearl millet, and sweet sorghum hays) through a series of chemical pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation processes was investigated in this study. Composition analysis suggested that the agricultural straws and hays studied contained approximately 28.62-38.58%...

The timing and rate of genomic variation induced by allopolyploidization in the intergeneric wheat-rye (Triticum spp. - Secale cereale L.) hybrid triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses with 2 sets of primers, EcoRI-MseI (E-M) and PstI-MseI (P-M), which primarily amplify repetitive and low-copy sequences, respectively. The re...

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short 8-30 amino-acid oligopeptides that act as effective transducers of macromolecular cargo, particularly nucleic acids. They have been implemented in delivering dsDNA, ssDNA, and dsRNA into animal and plant cells. CPPs and nucleic acids form nano-complexes that are often 100-300 nm in size but still effectively transit the cell membrane of animal cells, b...

In this present study, crude oil, fatty acid and mineral compositions of wheat (Triticum sp. L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), triticale (Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus.), rye (Secale cereale L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars, respectively, from Turkey were investigated. Both the distribution of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), and the mineral contents of ...

Application of rapid and time-efficient health diagnostic and identification technology in the seed industry chain could accelerate required analysis, characteristic description and also ultimately availability of new desired varieties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of multispectral imaging and single kernel near-infrared spectroscopy (SKNIR) for determination of seed healt...

Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack), developed by crossing rye and wheat, is increasingly applied in food production. The aim of this paper was to study the grinding process eight new triticale grain (TG) varieties harvested 2020 2021. TG tempered 12% moisture a knife mill used for size reduction. following parameters characterizing were determined: specific energy, Sokołowski index, particle ...

The harvest index of grain can be used as indicator for the potential yield crop. aim this study was to determine variation wheat and triticale differences in monocrops intercrops systems cultivation under different field environmental conditions. experiment, carried out conditions two consecutive years, designed according a randomized block system so that each species sown single crop combined...

The study pertained to environmentally-friendly methods in the cultivation of cereal, and aimed manage quality rye triticale seeds determine impact seed conditioning using effective microorganisms (EM), red light (RL), a combination two (RL × EM) on yield grain straw. Moreover, were sown into soil with without EM conditioning, designated as 0 PEM. fluctuations depended mostly studied cultivars....

Many biologically and agronomically important traits are dynamic and show temporal variation. In this study, we used triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) as a model crop to assess the genetic dynamics underlying phenotypic plasticity of adult plant development. To this end, a large mapping population with 647 doubled haploid lines derived from four partially connected families from crosses amon...
