How leaf rust disease and its control with fungicides affect dough properties, gluten quality and loaf volume under different N rates in wheat by Fleitas, María Constanza, Schierenbeck, Matías, Gerard, Guillermo Sebastián, Dietz, Juan Ignacio, Golik, Silvina Inés, Campos, Pablo Eduardo, Simón, María Rosa

“…The specific balance between gluten fractions, together with grain protein content (GPC), defines nutritional and end-use properties. The leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.) and its control using succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides together with nitrogen (N) fertilization could alter the GPC and its composition during the grain-filling period, modifying dough properties. …”

Environmental Variation and Correlation of Seed Components in Nontransgenic Soybeans: Protein, Oil, Unsaturated Fatty Acids, Tocopherols, and Isoflavones by Carrera, Constanza Soledad, Martinez, Maria Jose, Dardanelli, Julio Luis, Balzarini, Mónica

“…The environment has a significant influence on the expression of traits contributing to soybean nutritional and/or industrial value. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the variability of nontransgenic soybean seed chemical components by investigating the environmental correlations among protein (Pr), oil (O), oleic (Ol), linoleic (La), and linolenic (Ln) acids, oleic to linolenic acid ratio (Ol:Ln) alpha- (AT), beta- (BT), gamma- (GT), delta- (DT), and total tocopherols (TT) and total isoflavones (TI) by means of principal component analysis. …”

Cl- homeostasis in includer and excluder citrus rootstocks: transport mechanisms and identification of candidate genes by Brumos, Javier, Talón, Manuel, Bouhlel, Rym, Colmenero-Flores, José M.

“…Genes CcCCC1, CcSLAH1 and CcICln1 putatively involved in the regulation of chloride transport were isolated and their expression analysed in response to both changes in the nutritional status of Cl- and salt stress. The previously uncharacterized ICln gene exhibited a strong repression to Cl- application in the excluder rootstock, suggesting a role in regulating Cl- homeostasis in plants.…”
