Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is the major cereal crop in the Horn of Africa, especially in Ethiopia where it is a staple food for over 60% of its 90 million population. The crop performs better than other cereal crops under extreme environmental conditions. The grain of tef is not only nutritious but also gluten-free, the cause for celiac disease, which affects humans world wide. The ob...

Characterisation of bamboo (Bambusa tuldoides) culm flour and its use in cookies | Crislayne Vasques, Maiara Pereira Mendes, Denise de Moraes Batista da Silva, Claudia Cirineo Ferreira Monteiro, Antonio Roberto Giriboni Monteiro Agricultural Journals

Bamboo is a natural material widely used in buildings and bridges that has good mechanical properties. However, the longitudinal connection of bamboo culms major problem for industry. In this study, sleeve-nailed specimens were produced, which contained three pieces. Two pieces with similar diameters longitudinally joined by inserting short culm smaller diameter, fixed nails. The flexural perfo...

the genus aegilops is one of the wheat relatives which comprise the main part of its gene pool.the identification of the aegilops species is difficult due to their vast morphological similarities and geneflow among different species of aegilops and cultivated wheat. some morphological characters are used todistinguish different species in aegilops. in this study, we evaluate all these character...

Resistance to lodging, an important problem in rice production, has three types: low plant height, strong culm, and high strength of the lower part plant. The determinants remains unclear, compared with height culm strength. This study identified a new genetic factor involved part, as assessed by pushing resistance, using chromosomal segment substitution lines (CSSLs) clarify functional analysi...
