Environmental stress during grain filling may affect wheat protein composition, thus influencing its final quality. A proteomic approach was used to evaluate changes in storage composition under water of two Italian durum (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) cultivars, Ciccio and Svevo. The high-molecular-weight glutenin region increased progressively both cultivars regimens. L48-35 region, corresponding low-molecular-weight (LMW) subunits, slightly development decreased cultivars. In particular,...
Seawater stress effects on mitochondrial ATP synthesis and membrane potential (ΔΨ) were investigated in germinating durum wheat seedlings under moderate (22% seawater osmolarity, -0.62 MPa) severe (37% -1.04 stress. To estimate the osmotic component of salt stress, mannitol solutions (0.25 0.42 m) iso-osmotic with saline ones used. Moderate intensity only delayed mean germination time (MGT), whereas higher osmolarity reduced percentage as well. In contrast, Na+ Cl- accumulation showed a...
The gluten protein composition and expression level influence dough properties are cultivar environment dependent. To broaden the knowledge of durum wheat proteome, three cultivars were compared in two different growing seasons by a proteomic approach. Cultivar-specific differentially expressed spots years identified mass spectrometry. Significant differences observed among cultivars: Ofanto showed lowest spot volumes high molecular weight (HMW) low (LMW) <35,000 regions highest LMW...
The important role of plant mitochondria in the adaptation to environmental stresses at subcellular level has recently emerged. In particular, an mitochondrial mechanism involved resistance is inhibition proline oxidation. order study this physiological mechanism, we used both washed and purified durum wheat ( Triticum ) (DWM) isolated from early seedlings germinated two different NaCl solutions leading either moderate or severe damage growth. To assess contribution osmotic component stress,...
The reduction of atmosphere emission SO2 and the massive use fertilizers high in nitrogen phosphorus resulted a decrease sulphur content soil. In durum wheat cultivation, supply plays key role not only for plant growth, but also grain quality. Sulphur is an essential macronutrient primarily used to synthesize methionine cysteine it involved establishing protein structures by disulphide bonds. aim this study was evaluate effect nutrition on quality composition cultivars grown under water...
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) is one of the major crops in Mediterranean basin, where water stress often occurs during grain filling which represents a critical stage for synthesis and accumulation storage proteins (gliadins glutenins). The aim study to evaluate, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE SDS-PAGE), composition two durum cultivars (Ciccio Svevo) cultivated growth chamber under different regimes (control deficit). At milk physiological maturity, gluten have...
The use of fuels derived from vegetable oils represents a potential opportunity to meet EU Commission guidelines promoting renewable energy utilization. This is particularly true for Mediterranean countries where farmers are well familiarized with oil crops. Sunflower one the most adapted crops dry conditions typical environments. oleic acid content in sunflower seems be suitable character biofuel production regard fuel oxidative stability. For same reason, high varieties considered...
