Investigation of Protein and Epitope Characteristics of Oats and Its Implications for Celiac Disease.

The use of pure oats (oats cultivated with special care to avoid gluten contamination from wheat, rye, and barley) in the gluten-free diet (GFD) represents important nutritional benefits for the celiac consumer. However, emerging evidence suggests that some oat cultivars may contain wheat gliadin analog polypeptides. Consequently, it is necessary to screen oats in terms of protein and epitope composition to be able to select safe varieties for gluten-free applications.

Utilization of in Vitro Anther Culture in Spelt Wheat Breeding.

The efficiency of in vitro anther culture was screened in a full diallel population of four spelt wheat genotypes and ten F hybrids. Genotype dependency was observed based on the data of embryo-like structures (ELS), green-, albino plantlets. In the diallel population and ten F hybrids, the green plantlets production ranged from 13.
