Whole wheat and germinated wheat flour were extruded in a laboratory co-rotating twin screw extruder with die temperatures (90 and 130°C), screw speeds (150 and 200rpm) and CO2 injection. The effects of germination and extrusion process on specific mechanical energy (SME) input, expansion ratio, specific length, piece density, elastic modulus, breaking strength, colour, water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI) and microstructure were determined. The study showed that the use of germinated wheat flour increased the specific length, lightness and the WSI. When CO2 was injected, the expansion ratios (only 90°C die temperature for extruded germinated wheat) and lightness were significantly increased (p<0.05). The chemical properties (crude protein, fat, ash, reducing sugar, γ-aminobutyric acid, soluble arabinoxylans, β-glucan and phytic acid) were also investigated. The germination step and extrusion process mainly affected the chemical properties. However, the difference of die temperatures, screw speed and CO2 injection had slight effect on the chemical properties.

Background: Improving the germination performance of bread wheat is an important breeding target in many wheat-growing countries where seedlings are often established in soils with high salinity levels. This study sought to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying germination performance in salt-stressed wheat. To achieve this goal, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on 292 Iranian bread wheat accessions, including 202 landraces and 90 cultivars.

Antibiotic residues cause water contamination and disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Herein, we reported the fabrication of a novel Z-scheme heterojunction, MIL-88A(Fe)/TiC/MoO (MTO), for safe and efficient removal of antibiotics. TiC was introduced into the MIL-88A(Fe)/MoO (MO) heterojunction as an electronic mediator to accelerate charge separation.

In our previous study, three genes highly expressed in the roots of wheat were screened. To explore the effects of adverse stresses on the wheat root phenotype and the expression of , and , we measured the phenotypic parameters of the JM22 root system at the seedling stage after treatment with different concentrations of NaCl and PEG6000. Additionally, the relative expression levels of TaPSK3, TaPSK9, and TaPSK10 were analyzed via RT-qPCR within 72 h of treatment with 150 mM NaCl and 30% PEG6000.

Static magnetic field (SMF), an innovative and eco-friendly technology, has attracted widespread attention in the field of modified starch physicochemical properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SMF treatment on the structural and digestive properties of germinated corn (GC) starch. In vitro digestibility examination of GC starch revealed that SMF treatment (30 mT, 2 h) led to a 12.

Phytotoxicity Study of (Amino)imidazo[1,2-]pyridine Derivatives Toward the Control of , , and Weeds.

In this work, several imidazo[1,2-]pyridines were synthesized through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three-component reaction (GBB-3CR), and their phytotoxicity was evaluated by the influence on the growth of wheat coleoptiles and three important agricultural seeds (, , and ) at test concentrations of 1000, 300, 100, 30, and 10 μM. A structure-activity relationship was established, showing the importance of halogen groups at the position of the attached aromatic ring and the presence of a cyclohexylamine group for greater activity. Post-modification of some GBB-3CR adducts was carried out, leading to imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-tetrazole hybrids, which were also evaluated in these bioassays.
