Identification of genes for yield components, plant height (PH), and yield-related physiological traits and tightly linked molecular markers is of great importance in marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding. In the present study, 246 F8 RILs derived from the cross of Zhou 8425B/Chinese Spring were genotyped using the high-density Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SN...

Quinoa is a plant seed well known scientifically as Chenopodium quinoa. It super food. In the present study white bold quinoa variety was analyzed for physical, functional, cooking and nutritional properties. Thousand kernel weight (2.24g), length (2.2125mm), hydration capacity (0.16g/1000 kernel) bulk density 0.74g/ml. Lightness of grains 87.56 L*. Grains had 157.3 per cent water holding capac...

Five commercial wheat varieties, namely C 306, HI 977, HW 2004, PBW 550 and WH 542 of diverse baking performances were examined for their physicochemical parameters, gluten quality and HMW-GS composition. All the varieties presented a broad spectrum of different quality parameters.Based on the kernel dimensions, thousand kernel weight and hectolitre weight, WH 542 was observed to have smaller a...

Recent increases of Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease caused by infections with F. poae (FP) and F. langsethiae (FL) have been observed in oats. These pathogens are producers of nivalenol (NIV) and T-2/HT-2 toxin (T-2/HT-2), respectively, which are now considered major issues for cereal food and feed safety. To date, the impact of FP and FL on oat grains has not yet been identified, and little...

The aim of the this study was to identify SNP markers associated with five important wheat quality traits (grain protein content, Zeleny sedimentation, test weight, thousand-kernel weight, and falling number), and to investigate the predictive abilities of GBLUP and Bayesian Power Lasso models for genomic prediction of these traits. In total, 635 winter wheat lines from two breeding cycles in t...

sepahan is a new bread wheat cultivar derived from progenies of a cross made between azadi cultivar and some high yielding and resistant to rust advanced lines. all selections were made in kelardasht and iranshahr stations and early evaluations in karaj. it was also studied in regional uniform yield trials in moderate stations including kaboutar abad. results revealed that this line is more tol...
