The popularity of wheat flour tortillas is spreading throughout the world and has become one highest-selling bread products. USDA Southern Regional Performance Nursery (SRPN) serves as largest wheat-growing region in USA, but tortilla quality germplasm SRPN remained unknown. This study investigated kernel traits, dough rheological properties, parameters, glutenin composition 131 lines from 1995...

Hexaploid triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is rarely used for human consumption because of its poor bread-making quality. To create the genetic potential for bread-making quality similar to that of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L), rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome 1R in triticale cv. Presto was cytogenetically engineered to remove secalin loci Sec-1 and Sec-3, and to introduce wheat stor...

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...

Rye (Secale cereale L.) serves as an alternative host of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (PTR) the cause of tan spot on wheat. Rye is cultivated as a forage or cover crop and overlaps with a significant portion of wheat acreage in the U.S. northern Great Plains; however, it is not known whether the rye crop influences the evolution of PTR races. We evaluated a global collection of 211 rye accessio...

The incorporation of a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop into the soil prior to planting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has been shown to restrict damage caused by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood). A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the duration of the effectiveness of rye decomposition in controlling root-knot nematode damage in relation to th...
