The effect of high temperatures (above 25°C) on starch concentration and the morphology of starch granules in the grains of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were studied. Wheat plants of cultivars Yangmai 9 (weak-gluten) and Yangmai 12 (medium-gluten) were treated with high temperatures for 3 days at different times after anthesis. The results showed that the starch concentration of grains given a ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crop protection strategies, based on preventing quantitative crop losses rather than pest outbreaks, are being developed as a promising way to reduce fungicide use. The Bastiaans' model was applied to winter wheat crops (Triticum aestivum) affected by leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and Septoria tritici blotch (STB; Mycosphaerella graminicola) under a range of crop management...

source limitation during grain filling is important for both management and breeding strategies of grain crops. there is little information on the sensitivity of grain yield to various source-sink ratios in various wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars. the objective of the current study was to evaluate the response of grain yield as well as yield components to different source-sink ratios during...

Grain development in cereals depends on synthesis and remobilisation compounds such as water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs), amino acids (AAs), minerals environmental conditions during pre- post-anthesis. This study analyses the impact of water stress metabolite (WSCs, AAs nitrogen) dynamics between source (leaves stems) sink (grain) organs triticale, bread wheat, durum wheat barley. Plants were ...

The present work aims at testing the hypothesis that carbon use efficiency (CUE) of sunflower, grain sorghum, wheat and chickpea crops, having different photosynthetic pathways (C3, C4) and yield composition (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), will hold constant over the natural thermal regime occurring during the entire crop cycle in the open field. All crops were well watered. Sunflower and so...

terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the semiarid mediterranean regions, where wheat (triticum aestivum) is grown as an important winter cereal crop. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of terminal drought stress on grain yield, gas exchange variables, and some physiological traits of nine bread wheat cultivars. an experimen...

Winter wheat production is threatened by drought stress under rainfed conditions; thus, screening high- and stable-yielding varieties to ensure the sustainable development of food security in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain (HHHP) vital. In this research, four-year field experiments with twelve winter were conducted during wheat-growing seasons between 2016 2020 order to: (1) screen conditions, (2) invest...
