Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) that combines novel and elite genes from the tetraploid
wheat Triticum turgidum L. and wild ancestor Aegilops tauschii Coss., has been used to …

Improvements in self-pollinated crops rely on crosses between different genotypes. It has
been suggested that the repeated use of “the best” genotypes may lead to the restriction of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physicochemical properties of wheat
proteins in relation to functionality. One of the major obstacles to the characterization of …

Genomic in situ hybridization was used to identify alien chromatin in chromosome spreads
of wheat, Triticum aestivum L., lines incorporating chromosomes from Leymus multicaulis …

A new, improved version of the catalog of 182 alleles at the six Gli loci of common wheat (T.
aestivum L.) shown in electrophoregrams of 128 standard genotypes was used for analysis …

Abstract Analysis of gliadin electrophoretic (APAGE) patterns made it possible to identify 79
alleles at six Gli-1 and Gli-2 loci (from 9 to 18 per locus) and 173 gliadin genotypes in the …

Two propositions have become common assumptions in the development literature: With
regard to the first proposition, no causal relationship between the Green Revolution and …

Over 7,600 durum wheat accessions belonging to 22 country gene pools were evaluated in
Syria, during the seasons 1985–86 through 1987–88 under semi-arid Mediterranean …

The pattern of crop diversity in the fields of the develo** world has changed fundamentally
over the past 200 years with the intensification and commercialization of agriculture. The …

The extent of genetic diversity in food crops is important as it affects the risk of attack by
pathogens. A drop in diversity increases this risk. Farmers may not take this into account …
