Through mutagenesis with gamma rays, mutants characterized by reduced plant height, square head, awnless ear, amber seed colour, bold seeds and storage capacities were induced in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L) cv. Kharchia 65. The were isolated in M generation; derived from 10, 20, 30 and 40 kR of gamma 2 rays treated M population. In the M generation, some, progenies with morphological muta...

Wheat kernels contain fructans, fructose based oligosaccharides with prebiotic properties, in levels between 2 and 35 weight % depending on the developmental stage of the kernel. To improve knowledge on the metabolic pathways leading to fructan storage and degradation, carbohydrate fluxes occurring during durum wheat kernel development were analyzed. Kernels were collected at various developmen...

Drought stress is a significant abiotic stress factor that affects wheat yield and quality. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in regulating caryopsis development in response to drought stress. However, little is known about the expression characteristics of miRNAs and how they regulate protein accumulation in wheat caryopsis under drought stress. To address this, two small RNA libraries ...

this research studied the addition of hull-less barley and wheat malt flour on the qualitative parameters of semi-voluminous bread (form, softness, porosity, upper and under surface characters, chewing capability, aroma, taste, hardness). a completely randomized design was used with 3 treatments (control, use of malted wheat, use of barley flour) in 4 replications. a sensory evaluation and the ...

High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are important seed storage proteins in wheat (Triticum aestivum) that determine wheat dough elasticity and processing quality. Clarification of the defined effectiveness of HMW-GSs is very important to breeding efforts aimed at improving wheat quality. To date, there have no report on the expression silencing and quality effects of 1Bx20 and 1By...

A study was performed to study the effect of drought stress on protein changes of five wheat genotypes. Wheat genotypes were planted in early November, growing season of 2008-2009. The experiment was carried out in a factotial design with three replications. Two drought stress levels (irrigated and Non irrigated) and five genotype of wheat (F103-L-1-12//PONY/OPATA, F1.158/FDL//BLO/3/SH14414/CRO...

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of some containers, chemicals and indigenous materials for protection of wheat seed in storage at the Entomology Laboratory of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka. Wheat seeds were stored in four types of containers (Tin kouta, earthen pot, plastic container and gunny bag) with two types of chemicals (Naphthalene and camphor) an...
