Strategies to improve wheat for human health
Despite their economic importance and growing demand, concerns are emerging around wheat-based foods and human health. Most wheat-based foods are made from refined white flour... -
A Cytological Analysis of Wheat Meiosis Targeted by Virus-Induced Gene Silenc...
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and cost-effective reverse genetic technology that can be used to assess gene function in wheat. This chapter contains a detailed... -
Genetic Transformation of Common Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Using Biolistics
The following protocol describes the genetic transformation of wheat using the BioRad PDS/1000-He particle delivery system. Immature embryos are isolated 12–16 days... -
The Importance of Wheat
The history of wheat domestication and use is closely linked to the efforts of humans to protect themselves from hunger and gain control over their food supply. Now grown... -
FODMAPs in Wheat
The dietary intake of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) can promote gut health, but also trigger gastrointestinal disorders. Wheat as a staple... -
Health Hazards Associated with Wheat and Gluten Consumption in Susceptible In...
Wheat accounts for about 20% to over 50% of the total calorie intake of food in regions where it is grown. However, there is a clear perception that disorders related to the... -
Reducing the Acrylamide-Forming Potential of Crop Plants
Acrylamide is a food-processing contaminant formed from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high-temperature cooking and processing. It is a Group 2A carcinogen, and... -
Sequence-specific nucleases as tools for enhancing disease resistance in crops
Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas, have recently become valuable tools for plant reverse genetics as well as crop improvement, including enhancement of disease... -
A breeding strategy targeting the secondary gene pool of bread wheat: introgr...
The continued expansion of the world population and the likely onset of climate change combine to form a major crop breeding challenge. Genetic advances in most crop species to... -
Evaluation of the prebiotic potential of arabinoxylans extracted from wheat d...
Distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a low-value agro-industrial by-product, rich in arabinoxylans (AX), which is produced by commercial distillery and bioethanol... -
Development and characterization of wheat lines with increased levels of arab...
Improving the nutritional quality and health benefits of food has been of increasing interest globally over the last decade. Staple cereal foods are the major sources of dietary... -
The relationships between seedling root screens, root growth in the field and...
Background and aims We were interested to know if laboratory screens of root growth could be used to predict root performance and grain yield of wheat when grown in the field. A... -
A novel gibberellin promotes seedling establishment
A previously unknown biologically active gibberellin present in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana is formed by hydration of the gibberellin precursor GA12 through the action of... -
The uncertainty of crop yield projections is reduced by improved temperature ...
Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based crop... -
Wheat receptor-kinase-like protein Stb6 controls gene-for-gene resistance to ...
