Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance of a synthetic hexaploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L. x Aegilops tauschii Coss.)

Creator:

Rosa, Andre Cunha

Abstract:

Pre-harvest sprouting in wheat costs farmers millions of dollars every year. Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PST) has minimized this problem, but improvement of PST is still necessary. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (synthetics) have been used as sources of genes coding for many useful traits. Two studies evaluated the PST of a synthetic...

Two Studies Addressing Practical Needs of Wheat Farmers, Processors, and Breeders : Changes in Falling Number and Alpha-amylase During Grain Storage, and Improved Predictions of Wheat-flour Dough Properties

Creator:

Adams, Mike R.

Abstract:

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally traded staple food crop. The diverse and pleasing nature of wheat-derived products is a result of the complex interactions of the polymeric components from the wheat endosperm. Changes in the functionality of these polymeric components, as a result of changes in growing conditions or...
