Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science

Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions...

Comparative Effects of Hydropriming and Iron Priming on Germination and Seedling Morphophysiological Attributes of Stay-Green Wheat

Genetic variation for terminal heat stress tolerance in winter wheat

In many regions worldwide wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants experience terminal high temperature stress during the grain filling stage, which is a leading cause for single seed weight decrease and consequently for grain yield reduction. A...

Outcome of Microalgae Biomass Application on Seed Germination and Hormonal Activity in Winter Wheat Leaves

The present work aimed to test selected microalgae strains from the Mosonmagyaróvár Algae Culture Collection (MACC) on germination ability and certain physiological processes in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. Germination tests ...

Decreased photosynthetic rate under high temperature in wheat is due to lipid desaturation, oxidation, acylation, and damage of organelles

Abstract Background High temperature is a major abiotic stress that limits wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. Variation in levels of a wide range of lipids, including stress-related molecular species, oxidative damage, cellular orga...

Monitoring of <i>Fusarium</i> Species and Trichothecene Genotypes Associated with <i>Fusarium</i> Head Blight on Wheat in Hebei Province, China

To clarify the changes in field populations of Fusarium head blight (FHB) pathogens over a decade, Fusarium species and trichothecene genotypes associated with FHB on wheat were monitored in Hebei province during the periods 2005&#8722;2006...

Effects of Organic/Synthetic Fertilizers on Stimulated Biosynthesis of Polyphenol Compounds: Efficiency and Sustainability of Plants and Weeds in Monoculture and Competitive Conditions

Intensified use of fertilizers enhances crop yield; however, it can also make weed management more challenging. In addition to providing nutrients to crops, fertilizers also provide nutrients to weeds when they grow together with crops. All...

Sophorolipids Production from Oil Cake by Solid-State Fermentation. Inventory for Economic and Environmental Assessment

Biosurfactants are being proposed as a substitute for surfactants in the framework of a circular economy strategy. Sophorolipids (SL) are a type of biosurfactant produced by yeast that can be produced through submerged or solid-state fermen...

BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND THERMAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE BIRD CHERRY-OAT APHID, Rhopalosiphum padi (LINNAEUS), REARED ON WHEAT SEEDLINGS

The bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) was studied at 15, 20 and 25oC constant temperatures. Wheat seedlings were offered for feeding and maintaining the aphid, R. padi using the Punctured Ependorf Tube Technique. R. padi ...

PESTS ASSOCIATED WITH STORED WHEAT AT SHARKIA GOVERNORATE

The present work was surveyed pests found in wheat grain and wheat flour of Sharkia   Governorate in four districts namely, (Bilbeis, Minya El Qamh, Alsalhea and Zagazig) during two years 2016-2017. The Sitophilus granaries was abundant in ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi contribute to wheat yield in an agroforestry system with different tree ages

Intercropping achieved through agroforestry is increasingly being recognized as a sustainable form of land use. In agroforestry, the roots of trees and crops are intermingled, and their interactions and the production of exudates alter the ...

Development and quality evaluation of a fermented dessert made from donkey milk fortified with oat flour, wheat germ oil, and pomegranate extract

The dairy sector is constantly innovating in response to the critical issues connected to sustainability and healthiness and to the increasing consumer demand for products with nutritional benefits. This study aimed to develop an innovative...

Long-term fertilization enriches soil food web mainly through bottom-up regulation in a rice–wheat cropping system

Long-term fertilization shapes the size and community composition of the soil food web by altering resource quantity and quality. Previous studies have examined specific components; however, comprehensive effects on the entire food web and ...

Barley a nutritional powerhouse for gut health and chronic disease defense

Background: Digestive issues are recognized as significant contributors to various chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Barley, a traditional grain, offers considerable promise in addressing these healt...

Prospects for developing allergen‐depleted food crops

Abstract In addition to the challenge of meeting global demand for food production, there are increasing concerns about food safety and the need to protect consumer health from the negative effects of foodborne allergies. Certain bio‐molecu...

Evaluation of Population and Hybrid Varieties of Winter Rye in the Conditions of Eastern Siberia

Winter rye has a high adaptive capacity to abiotic and biotic stressors compared to other winter crops (wheat, triticale, barley, and oats). High resistance of winter rye to adverse environmental factors and a wide range of its uses increas...

Development of functional cookies form wheat-pumpkin seed based composite flour

To develop high quality cookies, even seemingly smallest changes depended on factors that can affect taste, texture, and nutritional value. In this light, this study aimed to investigate the upshot of refined wheat flour and pumpkin seed fl...

The Composition Analysis of Endophytic Bacteria Community and Genetic Investigation of Major Strains in Jimai 44 Seeds
