  1. Proteomics Study of Pre-Harvest Sprouting in Wheat

    Khadka, Pramod2016

    <p>Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a condition characterized by the early germination of spikes during moist environmental conditions. PHS lowers yield, degrades the quality of grain and thus limits the profits of wheat producers groups. During this investigation, …

  4. A Genetic Approach towards Modulating Pre-Harvest Pod Shatter in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape)

    Wood, ThomasUniversity of East Anglia2010

    Pre-harvest pod-shattering in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape) is a serious agricultural and economic problem, with losses of 11-25% reported (Price et al., 1996) resulting in lost revenues of an estimated £66 million per annum for the U.K. alone. Reductions in this loss will provide benefits for both …

  9. Understanding the genetic and physiological control of pre-harvest sprouting and pre-maturity amylase in UK wheat

    Shorinola, OluwaseyiUniversity of East Anglia2015

    Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and Pre-maturity amylase (PMA) are physiological defects in wheat grains that reduce their end-use quality. PHS is the precocious germination of grains before harvest while PMA is the accumulation of α-amylase in grains. Both traits are quantitative in their expression …

  12. Evaluating Methods of Screening for Pre-Harvest Sprouting in Soft Red Winter Wheat and the Effect of Delayed Harvest on Flour Properties

    Burt, Kelly R.Virginia Tech2008

    High pre-harvest rainfall in 2006 caused significant pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and weathering throughout the mid-Atlantic soft red winter wheat (SRWW) (Triticum aestivum L.) growing region. Sprouting and weathering caused decreased flour quality due to lowered dough viscosity and decreased …
