Grain hardness and slow dry matter disappearance rate in barley
Barley grain is an important source of energy and protein for ruminant animals. However, feeding must be carefully managed to avoid maladies caused by the rapid breakdown of barley starch in the rumen. The development of slower degrading barley for ruminants may alleviate health problems associated …

Comparative Resistance of Maize populations to the maize weevil,Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky
… A study was conducted to identify maize cob and grain characteristics conferring resistance to the maize weevil in selected maize genotypes. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted using 52 maize genotypes of varying resistance to the pest. Field experiments looked at husk cover length …

Inheritance of Weevil Resistance in Maize
… maize weevils were placed in each jar containing grain and the jars were closed with cotton cloth securely tied with the rubber bands to prevent the insects from escaping. After 21 days the jars were opened and all the insects were removed. The jars were left standing in this environment for 42 …

Importance of zein composition in quality protein maize (QPM) to microstructural and chemical modifications of proteins during extrusion and their impact on texture of corn-based extrudates
… importance of endosperm corn proteins in corn grain hardness and vitreousness, the role that protein compositional differences plays on the physical properties of texturized corn-based products is still poorly understood. Considering that protein has been shown to have an important impact in …

THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES FOR USING CHEMICAL OXIDIZING AND REDUCING AGENTS IN FLOURS AS A MEANS OF CONTROLLING GLUTEN STRENGTH PRIOR TO DEVELOPING DOUGH
… the inter-relationships between wheat quality, grain and flour composition, and dough rheology. The cultivars varied in proximate composition which in turn directly impacted their dough handling. MicrodoughLAB absorption was found to be positively correlated with protein content, grain hardness, …
