Ergot alkaloids (EAs), mycotoxins produced mainly by fungi of the Claviceps genus, have been frequently reported in rye, while their increasingly frequent occurrence other cereals is likely related to weather conditions, with incidence ergot sclerotia winter grains being heavy rainfall and moist soils at critical periods. However, compared regulated mycotoxins, data about prevalence EAs major minor harvested Mediterranean growing areas are still scant. In this regard, current study 18...
In a context of climate change, barley can play key role in cereal cropping systems, but the competitiveness crop requires introduction system innovations to increase its yield potential and make use agronomic inputs more efficient. A hybrid genotype was compared with conventional three-year study. The treatments involved factorial comparison four combinations per seed density (medium vs high rate for each genotype), two soil tillages (conventional CT minimum tillage MT) N fertilization...
Twelve pigmented wheat genotypes, one tritordeum, and common were grown in three field experiments under varying nitrogen (N) fertilization rates to investigate the contributions of genotype, environment, on levels phenolic acids, anthocyanins, carotenoids antioxidant capacity grains. Soluble acids increased significantly (+16%) environment with high soil N content, while bound anthocyanins decreased (−16 −57%). affected agronomic qualitative traits but had limited effects some bioactive...
