Identification and quality characterization of a putative novel 17x + 8y high‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunit recombination in bread wheat

Abstract BACKGROUND High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits ( HMW ‐ GSs ) are major determinants of dough rheological behavior and bread‐making quality in bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). Among wheat genomes, the Glu‐ B1 locus exhibits the highest allelic diversity; however,...

Hybrid Protection Against Ergot (Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul.) in Winter Rye (Secale cereale L.): Cultivar Susceptibility Under Artificial Inoculation and In Vitro Screening of Chemical, Biological and Botanical Agents

Ergot, caused by Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul., is a re-emerging disease that is particularly severe under wet weather during cereal flowering. It reduces grain quality and contaminates food and feed with toxic ergot alkaloids. Because no single measure reliably controls it, this...
