The relationship between characterictics of flour of common wheat varieties and fresh pasta-making qualitites was examined, and the fresh pasta-making properties of extra-strong varieties that have extra-strong dough were evaluated. There was a positive correlation between mixing time (PT) and hardness of boiled pasta, indicating that the hardness of boiled pasta was affected by dough propertie...

Giacintucci V., Guardeño L., Puig A., Hernando I., Sacchetti G., Pittia P. (2014): Composition, protein contents, and microstructural characterisation of grains and flours of emmer wheats (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) of the central Italy type. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 115–121. The microstructural characteristics were evaluated of two types of Italian Farro (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) ...

The relationship between root morphological and physiological responses to variable P supply in different plant species is poorly understood. We compared root morphological and physiological responses to P supply in seven crop species (Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Brassica napus, Lupinus albus, Glycine max, Vicia faba, Cicer arietinum) treated with or without 100 mg P kg-1 in two soils (acidic ...

Winter wheat (Triticum spp.) varieties require long exposures to low temperatures to flower, a process called vernalization. The VRN2 locus includes two completely linked zinc finger-CCT domain genes (ZCCT1 and ZCCT2) that act as flowering repressors down-regulated during vernalization. Deletions or mutations in these two genes result in the elimination of the vernalization requirement in diplo...

Effects of Nigella sativa Allelochemical Substances on Growth-Inhibiting Flixweed Compared With Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

the applicability of rapds, aflps, and ssrs to examine genetic relationships in 36 populations of triticum boeoticum from west of iran was investigated. a total of 224 (135 polymorphic), 979 (429 polymorphic) and 246 (145 polymorphic) bands/alleles were detected using 14 rapd primers, 17 aflp primer combinations and 17 well distributed, mapped ssr markers, respectively. the polymorphic informat...

Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Spring Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars under Different Planting Dates

In order to address the hypothesis that seeds from ecologically and geographically diverse plants harbor characteristic epiphytic microbiota, we characterized the bacterial and fungal microbiota associated with Triticum and Brassica seed surfaces. The total microbial complement was determined by amplification and sequencing of a fragment of chaperonin 60 (cpn60). Specific microorganisms were qu...
