Improving salt stress resistance in cereals
Salinity is a complex environmental stress that affects growth and production of agriculturally important crops world-wide. Tolerance to salt stress is variable for different plants and involves integration of various physiological and biochemical mechanisms. This thesis investigates the role in …

Gene expression and signaling in Rxo1 governed innate immunity in cereals
Many maize lines carry Rxo1, an NB-LRR gene that confers a rapid hypersensitive response (HR) after infiltration with the rice streak pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) or the maize stripe pathogen Burkholderia andropogonis (Ba) carrying the effector genes avrRxo1 or avrRba1 …

Effects of Morphological Traits and Cultural Practices of Intercropped Soybeans and Cereals
Research on intercropping systems has become of importance because of the serious concern over increasing world population and the concurrent demand for more food. Intercropping and other types of multiple cropping are viewed as possible methods of increasing food production. In experiments …

Aphid movement and aphid-borne virus spread in mixed cropping systems of legumes and cereals
Growing legumes in combination with non-hosts of legume viruses is a cultural practice that has been observed to suppress aphid-borne virus epidemics in indigenous farming systems. This study was aimed at unraveling the physical and biological relationships that affect aphid dispersal and the …

Genetic Diversity And Evolution Of Disease Response Genes In Sorghum Bicolor L. Moench And Other Cereals
Several studies have shown that disease resistance genes diverge under recurrent positive selection as a result of a molecular arms-race between hosts and pathogens. However, these studies have been conducted mainly in animals and few plant genes have been shown to evolve adaptively. The study of …

The role of protein and starch of legumes and cereals on the formation of healthy snack products
… that play vital role in human metabolism. Cereals and Legumes are significant source of protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates and dietary minerals. They are also an excellent source of essential amino acid lysine. Unfortunately, legume seeds that grow in New Zealand are considered as a low …

Brachypodium distachyon as a genetic model pathosystem to study resistance against fungal pathogens of small grain cereals
… Fusarium diseases of wheat and other small-grain cereals cause yield reduction and grain contamination with harmful mycotoxins, mainly deoxynivalenol (DON). Little is known about the mechanistic basis of resistance to Fusarium in cereals due to the large, polyploid and unsequenced genome of wheat. …

Essays on food assistance program participation and demand for food
… of whole grains, demand for different types of cereals, both refined and whole grain is estimated. Bayesian methods are employed in the estimation accounting for the censoring of the dependent variables. Results show that demand for all types of cereals is inelastic to changes in prices. The …

The effect of varying mixtures of soybean and cereals on the landing rates of aphid vectors and spread of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV)
The goal of this study was to understand the influence of varying soybean/cereal mixtures on the incidence and spatial spread patterns of foregut-borne non-persistently transmitted plant viruses such as soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), and also on the landing rates of …

The role of plant-based foods and dietary fibre in school-aged children (5-12y) in Ireland
… Plant-based foods including wholegrains cereals, vegetables and fruit provide important nutrients in the diet and are particularly promoted in food based dietary guidelines (FBDG) for their high dietary fibre (DF) content. The aim of this thesis was to examine the role of ‘cereals, grains …

Effect of Enzymatic Treatments on the Physiochemical Properties of Different Corn Starches
… electron microscopy on the surface of the cereals coated with Hylon VII. After soaking in milk for 3 min, the peak force of the cereals coated with corn starches were higher than those of the controls. The cereals coated with Hylon VII were found to have an increase in dietary fiber …
