SSR markers and seed quality traits revealed genetic diversity in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.).

Genetic diversity and differences among durum-wheat cultivars evolved in various regions of the world are important for sustainable production in the current climate change scenario. Information regarding genetic differences was also important for the correct choice of parental material for the selection of high quality cultivars. Two elite and six obsolete cultivars of durum-wheat were characterized with 25-simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers.

High Reserve in δ-Tocopherol of Seeds Oil and Antifungal Activity of Oil against Ten Plant Pathogenic Fungi.

This investigation included the chemical analysis of () seed oil and its antifungal properties against 10 fungal species. Seed oils of six populations were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The HPLC analysis indicated that .
