| acquisition and assimilation of nitrogen as peptide-bound and d-enantiomers of amino acids by wheat. | nitrogen is a key regulator of primary productivity in many terrestrial ecosystems. historically, only inorganic n (nh(4)(+) and no(3)(-)) and l-amino acids have been considered to be important to the n nutrition of terrestrial plants. however, amino acids are also present in soil as small peptides and in d-enantiomeric form. we compared the uptake and assimilation of n as free amino acid and short homopeptide in both l- and d-enantiomeric forms. sterile roots of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) pla ... | 2011 | 21541281 |
| calcium and magnesium enhance arsenate rhizotoxicity and uptake in triticum aestivum. | cations such as calcium (ca) and magnesium (mg) alleviate toxicities of cationic toxicants and increase those of anionic toxicants such as arsenic (as) present as arsenate under aerobic conditions. increasing evidence exists that these phenomena are related to the outer surface electrical potential (ψ 0°) of the root cell plasma membrane (pm). short-term (48-h) nutrient culture experiments with wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seedlings investigated ca and mg effects on arsenate rhizotoxicity and up ... | 2011 | 21538485 |

| active-site architecture of benzoxazinone-glucoside β-d-glucosidases in triticeae. | the β-d-glucosidases from wheat (triticum aestivum) and rye (secale cereale) hydrolyze benzoxazinone-glucose conjugates. although wheat and rye glucosidases have high sequence identity, they have different substrate preferences; the wheat enzyme favors dimboa-glc (2-o-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one) over diboa-glc (7-demethoxy-dimboa-glc), whereas the rye enzyme preference is the opposite. to investigate the mechanism of substrate binding, we analyzed crystal structu ... | 2011 | 21421370 |
| high temperature during grain fill alters the morphology of protein and starch deposits in the starchy endosperm cells of developing wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grain. | high temperature during grain fill reduces wheat yield and alters flour quality. starchy endosperm cell morphology was investigated in wheat ( triticum aestivum l. 'butte 86') grain produced under a 24/17 or 37/28 °c day/night regimen imposed from anthesis to maturity to identify changes in cell structure related to the functional properties of flour. the duration of grain fill decreased substantially under the 37/28 °c regimen, but, like the 24/17 °c regimen, endosperm cells in the mature grain ... | 2011 | 21417450 |
| pcr-based isolation and identification of full-length low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes in bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.). | low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (lmw-gss) are encoded by a multi-gene family and are essential for determining the quality of wheat flour products, such as bread and noodles. however, the exact role or contribution of individual lmw-gs genes to wheat quality remains unclear. this is, at least in part, due to the difficulty in characterizing complete sequences of all lmw-gs gene family members in bread wheat. to identify full-length lmw-gs genes, a polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based met ... | 2011 | 21830110 |
| intake and digestion of whole-crop barley and wheat silages by dairy heifers. | the effect of maturity at harvest on the digestibility and intake of large bale silage made from whole-crop barley and wheat when fed to growing heifers was evaluated. two crops of spring barley (hordeum distichum cv. filippa and kinnan) and 1 of winter wheat (triticum aestivum cv. olevin) were harvested at the heading, milk, and dough stages of maturity. the silage was fed to 36 dairy heifers in a balanced crossover experiment with 3 periods and 9 treatments (diets based on 3 crops and 3 stages ... | 2011 | 21821807 |
| differential effects of a post-anthesis fertilizer regimen on the wheat flour proteome determined by quantitative 2-de. | mineral nutrition during wheat grain development has large effects on wheat flour protein content and composition, which in turn affect flour quality and immunogenic potential for a commodity of great economic value. however, it has been difficult to define the precise effects of mineral nutrition on protein composition because of the complexity of the wheat flour proteome. recent improvements in the identification of flour proteins by tandem mass spectrometry (ms/ms) and the availability of a c ... | 2011 | 21816081 |
| redox changes during cold acclimation affect freezing tolerance but not the vegetative/reproductive transition of the shoot apex in wheat. | cold acclimation is necessary for winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) to achieve its genetically determined maximum freezing tolerance, and cold also fulfils the vernalisation requirement. chromosome 5a is a major regulator of these traits. the aim of the present study was to discover whether changes in the half-cell redox potential of the glutathione/glutathione disulphide (gsh/gssg) and ascorbate/dehydroascorbate (aa/dha) couples induced by cold acclimation are related to freezing tolerance an ... | 2011 | 21815980 |

| bac libraries from wheat chromosome 7d: efficient tool for positional cloning of aphid resistance genes. | positional cloning in bread wheat is a tedious task due to its huge genome size and hexaploid character. bac libraries represent an essential tool for positional cloning. however, wheat bac libraries comprise more than million clones, which makes their screening very laborious. here, we present a targeted approach based on chromosome-specific bac libraries. such libraries were constructed from flow-sorted arms of wheat chromosome 7d. a library from the short arm (7ds) consisting of 49,152 clones ... | 2011 | 21318113 |
| detecting ingested plant dna in soil-living insect larvae. | although a significant proportion of plant tissue is located in roots and other below-ground parts of plants, little is known on the dietary choices of root-feeding insects. this is caused by a lack of adequate methodology which would allow tracking below-ground trophic interactions between insects and plants. here, we present a dna-based approach to examine this relationship. feeding experiments were established where either wheat (triticum aestivum) or maize (zea mays) was fed to agriotes larv ... | 2011 | 21317975 |

| three-dimensional distribution of vessels, passage cells and lateral roots along the root axis of winter wheat (triticum aestivum). | the capacity of a plant to absorb and transport water and nutrients depends on anatomical structures within the roots and their co-ordination. however, most descriptions of root anatomical structure are limited to 2-d cross-sections, providing little information on 3-d spatial relationships and hardly anything on their temporal evolution. three-dimensional reconstruction and visualization of root anatomical structures can illustrate spatial co-ordination among cells and tissues and provide new i ... | 2011 | 21289027 |
| accurate inference of shoot biomass from high-throughput images of cereal plants. | with the establishment of advanced technology facilities for high throughput plant phenotyping, the problem of estimating plant biomass of individual plants from their two dimensional images is becoming increasingly important. the approach predominantly cited in literature is to estimate the biomass of a plant as a linear function of the projected shoot area of plants in the images. however, the estimation error from this model, which is solely a function of projected shoot area, is large, prohi ... | 2011 | 21284859 |
