Celiac disease (CD) is an inflammatory disorder of the small intestine. Gluten peptides are supposed to be responsible for reaction, best-researched which so-called ‘33-mer’. Analogous in secalins (rye) and hordeins (barley) have been described. This study presents degradation gliadins, glutenins, purified from respective flours using a prolyl endopeptidase Basidiomycete Flammulina velutipes (F...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects variety and plant environment on nutritional composition, phenolic contents antioxidant activities from commercial wheat cultivars grown in Pakistan. Chemical total were measured twenty-seven spring varieties for two cropping years. Preliminary assessment strength extracts carried out by evaluation (TPC), activity (AA) free radical scav...

Wheat gluten proteins, gliadins and glutenins, are of great importance in determining the unique biomechanical properties of wheat. Studies have therefore been carried out to determine their pathways and mechanisms of synthesis, folding, and deposition in protein bodies. In the present work, a set of transgenic wheat lines has been studied with strongly suppressed levels of γ-gliadins and/or al...

Wheat storage proteins of twelve winter wheat cultivars grown at the experimental field of the Agricultural Institute Osijek in 2009 were studied for their contribution to the baking quality. Composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) was analyzed by SDS-PAGE method, while the proportions of endosperm storage proteins were determined by RP-HPLC method. Regarding the proport...

The use of late nitrogen (N) fertilization (N application at late growth stages of wheat, e.g., booting, heading or anthesis) to improve baking quality of wheat has been questioned. Although it increases protein concentration, the beneficial effect on baking quality (bread loaf volume) needs to be clearly understood. Two pot experiments were conducted aiming to evaluate whether late N is effect...

A functional explanation for the regulation of grain nitrogen (N) accumulation in cereal by environmental and genetic factors remains elusive. Here, new mechanistic hypotheses of grain N accumulation are proposed and tested for wheat (Triticum aestivum). First, we tested experimentally the hypothesis that grain N accumulation is mostly source regulated. Four contrasting cultivars, in terms of t...
