... Field trials have shown that the extent of preharvest sprouting after rainfall can vary markedly between and within fields. Testing of grain from different fields or parts of fields before harvest would permit separate harvesting and binning of damaged grain from sound grain, and financial losses resulting from downgrading of the crop could be reduced. An immunochromatography method, based on dete ...
... A laboratory protocol was developed to assess glucose and ethanol yields from wheat. The impact of the analyzed wholemeal flour quantity and the saccharification on the amount of released glucose was estimated. The whole process including the analytical methods (glucose and ethanol) was repeatable and reproducible. This protocol was used to assess the glucose and ethanol yields of six varieties an ...
... In this study, the impact of the extent of field sprouting of wheat on bread making and bread quality was investigated. Wheat with a flour Falling number (FNflour) down to 200 s was still manageable during bread making on laboratory scale. In contrast, the use of severely sprouted wheat (FNflour below 200 s) resulted in sticky dough and bread with impaired crumb texture, high crumb stickiness, and ...
... Field experiments were conducted over 3 years to assess the effects of fungicides (F) containing strobilurins (alone and in mixture with morpholine, triazoles) and triazoles (epoxiconazole or propiconazole) on winter wheat ‘Zentos’ grain quality, incidence of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in the field, grain contamination with fungi and mycotoxins. The effect of strobilurins and triazoles on the para ...
... In this study, wheat grain and wheat spike with 12%, 14% and 16% moisture content were stored at 10, 20 and 30 °C for 0, 3, 6 and 9 months. After storage, wheat samples were investigated for hectolitre weight, gluten content, Zeleny sedimentation volume, enzyme activity, acidity, phytic acid and L colour value. Storage of wheat at different storage forms (spike and grain) and storage conditions sh ...
... In triticale, preharvest sprouting tolerance is important for yield stability and quality of the grain. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to estimate quantitative genetic parameters of preharvest sprouting tolerance in triticale using a diallel of eight modern triticale cultivars and breeding lines. The 28 F₁-hybrids and the parents were planted in the breeding nurseries in 2001 and 2002 at f ...
... The quality of wheat for baking is critically dependent on the level of α-amylase (1,4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1), which can be present as “late maturity α-amylase” (LMA), or due to pre-harvest sprouting due to high rainfall and humidity at the time of harvesting. The most commonly used method to measure α-amylase in wheat grain is the Hagberg Falling Number method, but values are al ...

Abstract:
... AAC Penhold, an awned hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar, yielded significantly more grain than check cultivar 5700PR while maturing 2 d earlier and was 7.5 cm shorter in stature. The seed size was significantly larger than 5700PR and 5701PR, with a test weight significantly heavier than both checks. AAC Penhold expressed resistance to prevalent races of leaf rust and common bun ...
... The advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) strategy was utilised to locate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for baking quality traits in two BC₂F₃ populations of winter wheat. The backcrosses are derived from two German winter wheat cultivars, Batis and Zentos, and two synthetic, hexaploid wheat accessions, Syn022 and Syn086. The synthetics originate from hybridisations of wild emmer (T. turgidum spp. dico ...
... The results from the assessed adaptability of 14 soft winter wheat varieties of domestic breeding and 29 breeding lines from the Lukyanenko Scientific Center of Agriculture are provided. The stress-resistant varieties with the maximum range of adaptive abilities—Spartak, Marafon, Esaul, Zhemchyuzhina Povolzhya, and L. 351-04 ya0-19-7 line—are marked. The following varieties were characterized by t ...

Abstract:
... Elevated level of late maturity α-amylase activity (LMAA) can result in low falling number scores, reduced grain quality, and downgrade of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) class. A mating population was developed by crossing parents with different levels of LMAA. The F₂ and F₃ hybrids and their parents were evaluated for LMAA, and data were analyzed using the R software package ‘qgtools’ integrated wi ...
... Sets of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) lines derived from the cv. Presto with HMW glutenin allele Glu-D1d (subunits 5+10) translocated from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosome 1D to chromosome 1R were evaluated for agronomic and grain quality characteristics in 2002-2005. Two different translocation types were used: (a) single translocation 1R.1D(5+10)-2 where the long arm of 1R ca ...
... This study investigated the variability of amino acid (AA) digestibility of rye grains in laying hens. Relationships between AA digestibility and physical properties (thousand seed weight, test weight, falling number, and extract viscoelasticity), chemical composition (proximate nutrients, non-starch polysaccharides, AA, minerals, and inositol phosphates), gross energy concentration, and in vitro ...
... Effect of heat-moisture treatment on quality properties of two bread wheats (cvs. Tosunbey and Bayraktar) were investigated by using response surface methodology (RSM). Temperature and moisture conditions in the experimental design were in the range of 55–95 °C and 13–19%. Heat-moisture treated grains were milled into flour and quality properties were determined. The optimum moisture-temperature c ...

Abstract:
... Our previous study on the use of low-intensity ultrasound for wheat variety discrimination showed the potential of ultrasound waves at 10 MHz for wheat screening and dough rheology evaluation. To further examine the reliability of the technique for wheat variety differentiation at 10 MHz, 23 hard red spring (HRS) wheat varieties with comparable bread making quality were studied. Wheat quality char ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE : A large genetic variation, moderately high heritability, and promising prediction ability for genomic selection show that wheat breeding can substantially reduce the acrylamide forming potential in bread wheat by a reduction in its precursor asparagine. Acrylamide is a potentially carcinogenic substance that is formed in baked products of wheat via the Maillard reaction from carbonyl ...
... We investigated associations between line per se and testcross performance in rye and suggested that selection for per se performance is valuable for several traits in multi-stage selection programs. Genotypic correlation between line per se and testcross performance is an important quantitative-genetic parameter for optimizing hybrid breeding programs. The main goal of this survey was to study th ...
... 1. The CHemistry of the Uplands Model (CHUM), driven by measured and estimated atmospheric deposition, was used to simulate the chemical compositions of three upland Lake District surface waters: Devoke Water (DW), Levers Water (LW) and Mosedale Beck (MB) over several hundred years. 2. ‘Natural acidification’ combined with human activities, notably forest clearance, was assumed to have brought abo ...
... The aim of this work was to test the potential of Mixolab II in the baking quality prediction of five Triticum spelta L. cultivars grown during growing periods with different climate conditions. Spelt cultivars varied in flour and dough properties examined by indirect baking qualm- indicators (wet gluten content. Falling number. Zelenv sedimentation, farinograph rheological properties, Mixolab par ...
... In this study the milling and baking characteristics of ten strains of spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) originated from Polish breeding were shown. Evaluation of the grain included test weight, vitreousness and hardness. White spelt flour with extraction rate of 65-70% was characterized through the analyses of ash, protein, wet gluten and starch contents as well as Farinograph test, Amy ...
