Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is an artificial hybrid of wheat (Triticum sp.) and rye (Secale sp.) first bred in laboratories during the late 19 century. In little more than a century, triticale has developed from a biological curiosity to a practical crop. Plant breeders have made efforts to overcome main problems of triticale: preharvest sprouting, susceptibility to diseases, sensitivi...

the new cereal, primary tritipyrum is a synthetic amphiploid derived from crossing between durum wheat varieties (triticum durum, 2n=4x=28, aabb) and wild coach grass species (thinopyrum bessarabicum, 2n=2x=14, ebeb). in this study the genotype × environment interaction effect containing change in rank and value for grain yield of seventeen genotypes including eight primary and combined primary...

Resistance to Fusarium head blight in 32 winter triticale and 34 winter wheat accessions was evaluated. Triticale and wheat were sown in field experiments in two locations. At the time of flowering, heads were inoculated with three Fusarium culmorum isolates. Fusarium head blight index was scored and after the harvest percentage of Fusarium damaged kernels was assessed. Grain was analysed for t...

Effects of triticale diets on pig performance and pork quality were evaluated in summer and winter. Diets were: corn-soy, 40% triticale, or 80% triticale. Pigs (72kg) were fed 49d. Loins were evaluated for meat and fat quality and sensory evaluation. Average daily gain decreased as triticale inclusion increased (P<0.01). Feed intake was similar. Pigs fed corn-soy had the greatest and those fed ...

Segregation distorters are curious, evolutionarily selfish genetic elements, which distort Mendelian segregation in their favor at the expense of others. Those agents include gametocidal factors (Gc), which ensure their preferential transmission by triggering damages in cells lacking them via chromosome break induction. Hence, we hypothesized that the gametocidal system can be adapted for chrom...

to better understanding of drought resistance features including tolerance to chemical desiccation and transient photosynthesis under soil moisture stress in triticale in comparison with wheat and barley, an experiment was conducted during year 2009-10 in grizeh agricultural research station located in sanandaj. effect of three soil moisture regimes including irrigation in soil water potential ...

Genetic diversity analysis of triticale populations is useful for breeding programs, as it helps to select appropriate genetic material for classifying the parental lines, heterotic groups and predicting hybrid performance. In our study 232 breeding forms were analyzed using diversity arrays technology markers. Principal coordinate analysis followed by model-based Bayesian analysis of populatio...

McCartney, D. H. and Vaage, A. S. 1994. Comparative yield and feeding value of barley, oat and triticale silage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 74: 91-96. The yield and feeding value of barley (Hordeum vulgare 'Johnson'), oat (Avena sativa 'Calibre') and triticale (Triticosecale 'Carmen') silages were compared in a field study, a heifer growth trial (1 19 d in length, with four pens of eight Charolais cros...

Wheat, rye and triticale samples were evaluated in terms of physicochemical and technological properties. The triticale samples had higher susceptibility of sprouting compared to rye. The milling value of wheat and triticale samples was over 70, suggesting good milling properties and the ability to provide flours with low extraction rates. Of all studied grains, triticale had the lowest dough d...
