A study of population growth of Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus granarius L. in single and mixed culture in wheat and rice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1983 Biological interactions between organisms which contend for the same resource, have been of interest to ecologists since the days of Darwin. Although this sort of association is evident for many animal-versus-animal and plant-versus-plant situations, one

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dual genetic strategies for improving wheat processing quality by regulating purothionin accumulation to modulate gluten quantity and quality. The first strategy involves targeting signal peptide (SP) cleavage sites (e.g., through mutation) to indirectly reduce gluten content, thereby disrupting gluten network formation.

Grain storage management : guide for keeping your grain in top condition (1989) [PDF]
, 1989 "New 1/89/2M."Storage fungi can cause serious losses in stored grain. They are the cause, not the result, of spoilage. Bin burning, mustiness and heating are often associated with storage molds. In wheat, germ damage or "sick" wheat can occur.
