Molecular markers were used to identify the allele/gene composition of complex loci Glu-A1 and Glu-B1 of high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunits in triticale cultivars. Forty-six Polish cultivars of both winter and spring triticale were analysed with 7 PCR-based markers. Amplified DNA fragments of HMW glutenin Glu-1 genes were separated by agarose slab-gel electrophoresis. Differences between all 3 alleles at the locus Glu-A1 [Glu-A1a (encoding Ax1), 1b (Ax2*), and 1c (AxNull)], 4 alleles at Glu-B1-1 [Glu-B1-1a (Bx7), 1b (Bx7*), 1d (Bx6), 1ac (Bx6.8)], and 5 alleles at Glu-B1-2 [Glu-B1-2a (By8), 2b (By9), 2o (By8*), 2s (By18*), and 2z (By20*)] were revealed. In total, 16 allele combinations were observed. Molecular markers are particularly helpful in distinguishing the wheat Glu-A1a and Glu-A1b alleles from the rye Glu-R1a and Glu-R1b alleles in triticale genotypes, respectively, as well as subunits Bx7 from Bx7* and By8 from By8*, which could not be distinguished by SDS-PAGE. Novel glutenin subunits By18* and By20* (unique to triticale) were identified. HMW glutenin subunit combinations of Polish triticale cultivars, earlier identified by SDS-PAGE analyses, were verified by PCR-based DNA markers. Rapid identification of wheat Glu-1 alleles by molecular markers can be an efficient alternative to the standard separation procedure for early selection of useful triticale genotypes with good bread-making quality.

Triticale grains and brewers' spent grain (BSG) can be new sources to develop food products. From a socio-economical point of view, this fact is important since triticale is easily adapted to the climatic changes and BSG is a low-cost material which may lead to a "zero-waste" desiderate. In this study, dough rheological properties obtained from different triticale cultivars (Ingen 33, Ingen 35, Ingen 54, and Ingen 93) cultivated in the Republic of Moldova and BSG in a fermented form (BSF) in an addition level of 10% and 17.

Background: Triticale and tritipyrum as a new artificial cereal were investigated as potential stress-resistant alternatives within the Triticeae tribe due to their notable adaptability to environmental stresses.

Objectives: The first purpose of this study was to determine the genetic variation of 14 genotypes on physiological traits in arid and semi-arid climate of Yazd province on primary trans chromosomal tritipyrum (PTCT) lines, promising triticale lines, and Iranian and Afghan bread wheat cultivars, and the second purpose was to investigate the genetic diversity and classification of genotypes using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers.

Materials And Methods: The photosynthesis pigments, proline, and catalase enzyme activity of 14 genotypes were determined.

Grain weight is one of the key phenotypic traits in crops, closely related to yield. However, the actual structure of grain weight distribution is often overlooked. In this paper, to analyze the characteristics of grain weight, we interpret the weight distribution and structure of individual grains of triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) from the perspective of a sum of normal distributions, rather than a single normal distribution, using the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM).

Triticale is a man-made crop produced by crossing wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rye (Secal cereal) with the aim of increasing the adaptability and potential production of its parental line (wheat) under environmental stresses and harsh conditions. Accordingly, the objectives of this study are as follow, a: compare different stability measurement methods regarding their suitability, b: identify most stable genotypes for cultivar release, and c: provide a freely available package in R programming language (named 'Stbidx') capable of exploiting all stability methods for similar studies. Accordingly, 30 triticale genotypes were evaluated for their stability and adaptability to changing environments during four consecutive years from 2016 to 2020 in different locations in Iran (one year in Zarghan, two years in Ghorveh, one year in Sanandaj) and under two different irrigation regimes (normal irrigation and water deficit stress conditions).

The aim of this research is to investigate the quality of different triticale cultivars (Ingen 35, Ingen 33, Ingen 93, Ingen 54, Ingen 40, Fanica and Costel) cultivated in the Republic of Moldova from the point of view of the flour, dough, and bread quality characteristics. This research may be of great importance for producers and consumers due to the high production capacity, wide adaptability, economic significance in human foods and nutritional value of triticale cultivars. The triticale flours were analyzed for moisture, ash, protein, wet gluten, fat, carbohydrates, acidity and color parameters (L*, a* and b* values).
