mass spectrometric characterization of benzoxazinoid glycosides from rhizopus-elicited wheat (triticum aestivum) seedlings.	benzoxazinoids function as defense compounds and have been suggested to possess health-promoting effects. in this work, the mass spectrometric behavior of benzoxazinoids from the classes benzoxazin-3-ones (with subclasses lactams, hydroxamic acids, and methyl derivatives) and benzoxazolinones was studied. wheat seeds were germinated with simultaneous elicitation by rhizopus. the seedling extract was screened for the presence of benzoxazinoid (glycosides) using reversed-phase ultra-high-performan ...	2016	27431363
elucidation of the genetic basis of variation for stem strength characteristics in bread wheat by associative transcriptomics.	the current approach to reducing the tendency for wheat grown under high fertilizer conditions to collapse (lodge) under the weight of its grain is based on reducing stem height via the introduction of rht genes. however, these reduce the yield of straw (itself an important commodity) and introduce other undesirable characteristics. identification of alternative height-control loci is therefore of key interest. in addition, the improvement of stem mechanical strength provides a further way throu ...	2016	27423334
