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 ...
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 ...
Yield and chemical composition of soybean seed under different irrigation regimes in the Vojvodina region
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, Prague, 2017)
The goal of the present research is to determine an effective sprinkler irrigation strategy for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in temperate climate conditions, in order to maximize yields and seed quality. A three-year ...
The polypeptide composition, structural properties and antioxidant capacity of gluten proteins of diverse bread and durum wheat varieties, and their relationship to the rheological performance of dough
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
The aim of this study was to compare five bread and five durum wheat genotypes for gliadins and glutenins profiles, the concentration of free sulphhydryl groups and disulphide bonds, antioxidant capacity of gluten proteins ...
Simulating of Top-Cross system for enhancement of antioxidants in maize grain
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2014)
Blue maize (Zea mays L.) is grown for its high content of antioxidants. Conversion of yellow and white to blue maize is time consuming because several genes affect blue color. After each backcross selfing is needed for ...
High grain quality accessions within a maize drought tolerant core collection
(Univ Sao Paolo, Cerquera Cesar, 2014)
Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces are an important source of genes for improving commercial germplasm. Today, drought tolerance and grain quality are major challenges in maize cultivation due to climatic changes and population ...
Grain characteristics and composition of maize specialty hybrids
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2011)
Improved nutritive and technological maize grain value is very important for its use in diets. In this work, the chemical composition and potential beneficial components, including total and soluble proteins, tryptophan, ...
Short communication. Effects of the duration of after-ripening period on seed germinations and seedling size in three fescue species
(Spanish Natl Inst Agricultural & Food Research & Technolo, Madrid, 2010)
After-ripening is a complex enzymatic and biochemical process resulting in the breakage of non-deep physiological dormancy. The experiment was set up to identify the minimum duration of storage after harvest for completion ...
Desiccation, postharvest maturity and seed aging of tall oat-grass
(Empresa Brasil Pesq Agropec, Brasilia Df, 2010)
The objectives of this work were to determine whether and at which seed physiological maturity stage the diquat desiccant affects the tall oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius) seed quality and yield, as well as the proper ...
Planting density impact on weed infestation and the yield of Miscanthus grown on two soil types
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, Prague, 2016)
The assessment of the weed infestation effect on biomass yield of Miscanthus x giganteus in the first year of its commercial yield was conducted on two types of soil with different productive ability Luvic Chernozem and ...
