The Grain Protein Content of Polish Cereals Other than Wheat: Can It Be Increased by Combining a Crop Sequence System, Cultivar Selection, and Plant Protection?

Agriculture
After legumes, cereals are the most important source of protein for humans and livestock worldwide. One way to meet growing nutritional demands is to increase the grain protein content (GPC) of cereals.

Intra-plant variation in seed weight and seed protein content of cowpea

Plant Production Science, 2020
Seed size and protein content are the major breeding objectives for cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata). However, intra-plant variation in these traits causes heterogeneous seed quality and seed depreciation.

Hd1 Allele Types and Their Associations with Major Agronomic Traits in Korean Rice Cultivars

Plants, 2021
Optimizing flowering time in crop plants is critical for maximizing yield and quality under target environments. While there is a wide range of heading date variation in Korean rice cultivars, the underlying gene mechanisms are unclear.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Microtopography causes small‐scale variation in harvest and forage quality of high‐yielding silage grassland in northern Germany

Grassland Research
Background Local sward dieback, especially in grasslands on peat soil, in response to the extreme 2018/2019 drought demonstrates climate vulnerability of intensive grasslands in northern Central Europe. Methods We explore the influence of microtopography,

Variability in grain, flour, functional properties and protein profiling in newly developed wheat genotypes grown in temperate climate of Western Himalayas

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundSince wheat varieties and breeding lines developed by plant breeders in the western Himalayan region (Kashmir) have received limited attention with respect to their physical and protein quality characterization, the focus of the study is to ...
