The technological and baking traits of durum wheat

Зерновое хозяйство России, 2018
Durum wheat grain is the main raw material for pasta production, but some characteristics of the culture are promising for its use in baking. The flour from durum wheat in its pure form is of little use for bakery products. At the same time the use of 30%

Bridging the Gap Between Human Toxicology and Ecotoxicology Under One Health Perspective by a Cross‐Species Adverse Outcome Pathway Network for Reproductive Toxicity

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Cross‐species extrapolation of adverse outcome pathway network on reproductive toxicity under the One Health perspective using new approach methodologies. AOP = adverse outcome pathway. Abstract Although ecotoxicological and toxicological risk assessments are performed separately from each other, recent efforts have been made in both disciplines to ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Characterization of Semolina and Pasta Obtained from Hard Hexaploid Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Developed Through Selection Assisted by Molecular Markers

Foods
This study evaluates the potential of hard hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines, developed through marker-assisted selection (MAS), as an alternative to durum wheat for pasta production. Using hard hexaploid lines (SD lines) with targeted traits,

Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.): Origin, Cultivation and Potential Expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa

Agronomy, 2019
Durum wheat is an important food crop in the world and an endemic species of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In the highlands of Ethiopia and the oases of the Sahara this crop has been cultivated for thousands of years. Today, smallholder farmers still grow it

Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule‐bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability
