Maize inbreds from different heterotic groups as favorable sources for increased potential bioavailability of magnesium, iron, manganese and zinc
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2016)
Malnutrition, as a global problem, is mainly caused by low level of mineral elements in staple food (deficient soil). Biofortification is based on selection of genotypes with enhanced concentration of mineral elements in ...
Seed germination and seedling vigour of Italian ryegrass, cocksfoot and timothy following harvest and storage
(Univ Federal Lavras-Ufla, Lavras, 2011)
During post-harvest maturation, different species vary in the length of dormancy breaking or germination increases. Seed dormancy and slow seedling development often limit establishment of forage grass stands. Seed germination ...
Bioaccumulation process and health risk assessment of toxic elements in tomato fruit grown under Zn nutrition treatment (vol 190, 508, 2018)
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in the author group, affiliation and funding information sections as well as the omitted acknowledgment section.
UPOV morphological versus molecular markers for maize inbred lines variability determination
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2016)
In maize (Zen mays L.) breeding programs, it is very important to define a genetic distance of inbred lines and to establish criteria and biometric methods for the satisfactory germplasm classification. A total of 29 inbred ...
Numerical Classification of Western Balkan Drought Tolerant Maize (Zea mays L.) Landraces
(Tarbiat Modares Univ, Tehran, 2015)
Global warming and predictions of climatic changes additionally put breeding for drought tolerance in the focus of breeding programmes for maize. Extensive studies on the existing gene bank collection of the Maize Research ...
Formation of alpha-dicarbonyl compounds in cookies made from wheat, hull-less barley and colored corn and its relation with phenolic compounds, free amino acids and sugars
(Springer, New York, 2016)
Cookies are baked at elevated temperatures to obtain a desirable browning and flavor development, which are provided by Maillard reaction and caramelization. The drawback here is the formation of alpha-dicarbonyl compounds, ...
Water-soluble carbohydrates accumulation in peduncle of wheat and its relationship to morpho-anatomical and productive traits
(Lithuanian Research Centre Agriculture & Forestry, Kedainiu R, 2017)
Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) accumulating in internodes of the wheat stem can be a consequential contributor to grain filling, especially under stress conditions. In this study the WSC content and the WSC specific ...
Modification of antioxidant systems in cell walls of maize roots by different nitrogen sources
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2016)
Antioxidant systems of maize root cell walls grown on different nitrogen sources were evaluated. Plants were grown on a medium containing only NO3- or the mixture of NO3-+NH4+, in a 2:1 ratio. Eleven-day old plants, two ...
Response of wheat plants under post-anthesis stress induced by defoliation: II. Contribution of peduncle morpho-anatomical traits and carbon reserves to grain yield
(Cambridge Univ Press, New York, 2017)
Assimilated carbon during vegetative and early reproductive growth in wheat is temporarily stored in stem internodes and leaf sheaths (LSs), and can later be remobilized and transported to developing grain. The present ...
ESTs analysis in maize developing kernels exposed to single and combined water and heat stresses
(Univ Sao Paolo, Cerquera Cesar, 2011)
Molecular and metabolic response of plants to a combination of two abiotic stresses is unique and cannot be directly extrapolated from the response of plants to each of the stresses individually. cDNA macroarray has become ...
