Rye contains high concentrations of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), leading to reduced digestibility. Since poultry have little or no endogenous enzymes capable of hydrolyzing these NSP, exogenous carbohydrases as feed additives are used in an attempt to reduce the anti-nutritional effects of these polysaccharides. Previously, an in vitro study conducted in our laboratory showed that inclusi...

The 0AL[0RS wheatÐrye chromosomal translocation originally found in {Amigo| wheat possesses resistance genes for stem rust\ powdery mildew and greenbug biotypes B and C\ but also has a negative e}ect on wheat processing quality[ Recently\ a second 0AL[0RS translocation carrying Gb5\ a gene conferring resistance to greenbug biotypes B\ C\ E\ G and I\ was identi_ed in the wheat germplasm line {GR...

Comparisons between cereal species have shown that wheat starch is fermented more rapidly in the rumen than starch from maize, barley, potato or sorghum, probably due to the protein matrix surrounding the starch granules, but there are few comparisons of starch digestion from different cultivars of wheat. Although wheat varieties are classi®ed as being hard or soft, genetic factors affecting nu...

the 1rs chromosome segment derived from petkus rye carries genes for resistance to three wheat rust diseases, namely lr26 for resistance to leaf rust (caused by puccinia triticina), yr9 for resistance to stripe rust (p.striiformis f. sp. tritici) and sr31 for resistance to stem rust (p. graminis f. sp. tritici). since sec-1 is tightly linked with the three rust resis-tance genes electrophoresis...

The wheat line PF 839197 and six hybrid derivatives from a cross between PF 839197 and Thinopyrum ponticum were cytologically characterized by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Probes for the 5S and 45S rDNA genes (pTa794 and pTa71, respectively), a highly repetitive rye sequence (pSc119.2), the synthetic oligonucleotide (AAG)5, and total genomic DNA from Th. ponticum and rye were used....

in order to compare forage and grain production of rye with barley, triticale and vetch under dry farming conditions, an experiment was conducted with eight treatments (including rye, wild rye, triticale, barley, as well as hungarian vetch mixed with rye, wild rye, triticale and barley) in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in 3 years. in the first year, the highest forage a...
