1974; Barlow et al., 1973; Rogers et al., 1993; Giroux and Morris, 1997, 1998; Bergman et al., 1998; Morris et A complete understanding of the physical–chemical mechanism al., 1999). and underlying genetic control of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) endosperm texture will contribute to defining optimal grain utilization Regarding the underlying molecular basis of grain while assisting the breeding ...

A 5 yr study in the semiarid wheat production region of eastern Washington documented the relative densities of pest aphids and their natural enemies in cereal production systems using on-farm replicated plots. The systems were reduced-tillage soft white winter wheat (SWW) (Triticum aestivum L.)—summer fallow rotation; no-till soft white spring wheat (SWS)— chemical fallow rotation; continuous ...

Solvent retention capacity (SRC) test is an effective method for quality evaluation of soft wheat. Ningmai 9 is a founder in soft wheat breeding. The SRC and genotype of Ningmai 9 and its 117 derivatives were tested. Association mapping was employed to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with SRCs. Ningmai 9 had the allele frequency of 75.60% and 67.81% to its first- and secon...

Spinosad is a commercial reduced-risk pesticide that is naturally derived. Spinosad's performance was evaluated on four classes of wheat (hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, and durum wheats) against adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.); red flour beetle, Tribolium...

Fusarium head blight (scab) is a problem for wheat production in high rainfall areas. This report of research examining the response varieties on disease susceptibility and yield quality. Hard red had more than soft 2021. Wheat was correlated with severity.

This is a summary of the winter wheat production conditions in southeast Kansas 2020-2021 and results variety testing. Wheat 2021 benefited from dry at planting harvest. Overall yields were above multi-year averages. As previous years, soft red out-yielded hard varieties.

Cereal Chem. 88(5):473–479 Whole-grain wheat flour is used in baking to increase fiber content and to provide vitamins from the bran layers of the kernel. We surveyed whole-grain soft flour samples from North America to determine the nutritional profile using recently revised fiber quantification protocols, Codex 2009.1. Standard compositional and vitamin analyses were also included in the surv...

The goal of this study was to determine the comparative properties of dry-formed medium density fiberboards (MDF) made from renewable biomass (wheat and soybean straw) and those from conventional soft wood fiber. The MDF properties evaluated were modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, internal bond strength, thickness swell, and screw holding capacity. The results show that MDF made from wh...
