Cytoplasm affects grain weight and filled-grain ratio in indica rice [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2011 Abstract Background Cytoplasmic effects on agronomic traits -involving cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes of either different species or different cultivars - are well documented in wheat but have seldom been demonstrated in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Understanding the components of specific weight in barley grains: opportunities for improving grain quality and processing efficiency. [PDF]
, 2020 Spring barley is the primary cereal crop grown in Scotland, 35% of the crop is used for malting and 55% for animal feed. There is a clear distinction between barley destined for malting or feed, this is a result of the higher quality grain demanded for

ENVIRONMENTALAND CHEMICAL STUDIES ON SOME EXTRACTED ACTIVE COMPONENTS OF BARLEY [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Science, 2016 β-Glucan is the effective naturally occurring compound that exists in the grains of Hordeum vulgaris L (barley). β-Glucan is a rich fiber fraction found as glucose polymer in the endosperm cell walls of barley and usually at a level of 2-8 of grain ...

The Role of Whole Grains in Body Weight Regulation [PDF]
Advances in Nutrition, 2012 Whole grain (WG)-rich diets are purported to have a variety of health benefits, including a favorable role in body weight regulation. Current dietary recommendations advocate substituting WG for refined grains (RG), because many of the beneficial bioactive components intrinsic to WG are lost during the refining process.

Loss of function of the IAA-glucose hydrolase gene TGW6 enhances rice grain weight and increases yield [PDF]
, 2013 Increases in the yield of rice, a staple crop for more than half of the global population, are imperative to support rapid population growth. Grain weight is a major determining factor of yield.

High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain transcriptome during early grain-filling [PDF]
, 2020 Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures significantly reduce mature grain weight in wheat and other cereals. However, the mechanisms through which this reduction occurs are not entirely known. It has been suggested that the pericarp may control

Variability of grain weight per spike in wheat grown in different ecological conditions [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae Serbica, 2015 Variability of grain weight spike-1 was studied in 10 wheat genotypes: 'Ana Morava', 'Julija Mono', 'Gruža', 'Kuna', 'Lasta', 'Balkan', 'Rodna', 'NS Rana 2', 'Partizanka', 'Pobeda', grown over three experimental years under different environmental ...

Final grain weight in wheat is not strongly influenced by sugar levels or activities of key starch synthesising enzymes during grain filling [PDF]
, 2018 We investigated the extent to which final grain weight in wheat is limited by starch synthesis capacity during grain filling under field conditions. A total of 54 wheat genotypes including elite varieties and landraces was grown in two successive years ...
