The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the
possibility of developing high yielding wheat cultivars whose flour
would result in acceptable loaf volumes for non-traditional bread
wheat growing areas. Spring wheat germplasm employed included high
protein hexaploid derivatives from Triticum dicoccoides, and
selections from Argentina with good bread milling...
A set of genes which show developmental and tissue
specificity are expressed late in embryo maturation during
grain formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Two members
of this maturation gene set (MGS) are Em and triticin, a 7S
globulin. Results presented here show that during
embryogenesis, the expression of Em mRNA...
Yield reductions due to competition of weeds with crop plants
can be extremely important. Early weed competition can be as important
in reducing crop yield as weed competition for the entire
season.
The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the weed
control achieved by narrow row-cropping patterns, (2)...
