Two pigmented wheat genotypes (blue and purple) two black barley were fractionated in bran flour fractions, examined, compared for their free radical scavenging properties against 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt cation (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, TEAC), ferric reducing power (FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC), acid composition, carotenoid anthocyanin content. The results showed that fractionation has a significant influence on the...
We evaluated genomic selection across five breeding cycles of bread wheat breeding. Bias within-cycle cross-validation and methods for improving the prediction accuracy were assessed. The prospect has been frequently shown by studies using same genetic material multiple environments, but investigating in applied are lacking. estimated grain yield, protein content yield 659 inbred lines independent assessed bias cross-validation. investigated influence outliers on predicted its components...
Early generation genomic selection is superior to conventional phenotypic in line breeding and can be strongly improved by including additional information from preliminary yield trials. The of lines that enter resource-demanding multi-environment trials a crucial decision every program as large amount resources are allocated for thoroughly testing these potential varietal candidates. We compared with various approaches across multiple years well the merit integrating into framework....
Abstract Camelina is an alternative oilseed crop species with limited information about the origin and diversity of available germplasm. Therefore, a set 130 camelina accessions from world collection was evaluated for oil content, protein content 1000‐seed weight in field experiments grown three macro‐environments Austria. Based on phenotypic data, were categorized into four groups different seed characteristics using k ‐means cluster analysis or principal component extraction. Subsequently,...
Sixty Aegilops tauschii accessions and 60 European hexaploid wheat varieties were analyzed with 14 microsatellite (WMS) primer sets to (i) study the phylogeny of Ae. tauschii, (ii) search for a specific genotype most closely related D genome wheat, (iii) narrow down presumed birthplace latter. An average 6.5 4.0 alleles per locus was detected in respectively. The highest genetic diversity found Transcaucasia southeast Caspian Sea. Distribution 87 (without null alleles) did not allow...
Abstract Due to their antioxidant activity, anthocyanins are of increasing interest for nutritionists, food scientists and plant breeders. Anthocyanins in wheat grains expressed either the pericarp or aleurone layer. Previous studies revealed that different present varieties carrying genes purple blue trait. Progeny from crosses between red‐, purple‐ blue‐grained were selected over several cycles grain colour by visual scoring. Bulked F 5 evaluated total anthocyanin content UV ‐ VIS...
In the present study we analyzed responses of wheat to mild salinity and drought with special emphasis on so far unclarified interaction these important stress factors by using high-throughput phenotyping approaches. Measurements were performed 14 genotypes different geographic origin (Austria, Azerbaijan Serbia). The data obtained non-invasive digital RGB imaging leaf/shoot area reflect well differences in total biomass measured at end cultivation period demonstrating that can be reliably...
Naked barley is an underutilized crop that suitable for the production of functional food: it contains remarkable amounts β-glucans, which are well known their blood cholesterol and short-time sugar regulating properties impact on weight regulation. The aim present work was to develop naked bread with satisfying sensory characteristics good baking qualities could augment intake dietary fiber, especially β-glucans therefore meet requirements EFSA health claim β-glucans. results multiple...
Controlling the digestibility of starch in cereals by enhancing content RS has attracted considerable attention because its health‐promoting properties. Main goal this research was to establish role different chemical and thermal processing methods on their potential enhance modulate composition barley grain. A combination 28 grain techniques, including water lactic (LA) tannic acid (TA) concentrations, steeping durations, with or without heat (55°C) post‐cooling conditions were compared...
Anthocyanins are abundant secondary metabolites responsible for most blue to blue-black, and red purple colors of various plant organs. In wheat grains, anthocyanins accumulated in the pericarp and/or aleurone layer. Anthocyanin pigmented grains can be processed into functional foods with potential health benefits due antioxidant properties anthocyanins. The grain anthocyanin content increased by pyramidizing different genes accumulation layers. Our objective was develop a high-performance...
