The use of oats for human consumption is increasing every day due to the health benefits of oat products. With the objective to study relationships among factors affecting oat grain quality, two Recombinant Inbred Lines (RIL) mapping populations (`ND030299' x `ND991151' and `ND030299' x `Souris') have been used in this study. The two populations with their parents and three check cultivars were evaluated in a square lattice design in 2008 and 2009 at two North Dakota locations. Data were recorded on the following agronomic traits: grain yield, test weight, 1000 kernel weight, thin kernels, hea

Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is a high-yielding and vigourous interspecific hybrid between wheat and cereal rye. The crop is known for tolerance of abiotic stresses and high biomass production, and thus it has the potential to increase the profitability and productivity of growers in marginal environments and to help address the food production challenges of the 21st century. The original cultivars from the 1960s and 1970s usually produced grain with flour properties in between triticale’s progenitor species, and thus produced dough inferior to wheat and unsuitable for a range of food

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] is the second major cereal crop in Southern Africa after maize. Despite its importance as a cereal crop it is underutilised in Southern Africa because of insufficient characterisation and development of end-use quality evaluation methods for available cultivars, and the unattractive colour of some products from sorghum. This research aimed at developing simple methodologies for determination of important parameters of sorghum end-use quality, namely kernel hardness and kernel colour.

Abstract:

<p> Field corn, <i>Zea mays</i> L., has been introduced to the market with pyramided <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (Bt) corn technologies. These technologies reduce kernel damage from ear feeding caterpillar pests, including corn earworm, <i>Helicoverpa zea</i> (Boddie). The first generation Bt traits in field corn demonstrated limited activity on corn earworm feeding on grain in ears. The pyramided corn technologies have greater cumulative protein concentrations and improved expression throughout the plant, so these corn traits should provide an effective management tool against these pests.

Abstract:

Wood is a major construction material that is used in many contexts, and for different purposes. Serious problems may arise, however, when moisture related deformations as twist occur in wood used in different types of building structures, joinery and furniture. Twist can be explained to a great degree by the helical deviation of the grain angle in relation to the longitudinal direction of the log or the sawn board. Wood fibres form a spiral within the tree, and this is a natural occurrence that is named spiral grain. The wood fibres close to the pith in Norway spruce form a left-handed spiral

For the computer recognition algorithms, we extracted common features from each corn kernel, and classified them to measure the grain quality.

Australia is the fourth largest wheat (Triticum aestivum) exporter around the world,exporting about18 million tonnes annually.

However, due to the negative correlation between wheat GY and GPC,this is a challenging task. Apart from complex genetic approaches, modifyingnitrogen and sulphur fertilizer regime is a strategic method to achieve this goal.

Abstract:

Expenditure on wheat importation in sub-Saharan African countries is increasing greatly arising from the region’s rapidly expanding human population, urbanisation, and unfavourable conditions for wheat cultivation. Adoption of composite flours is encouraged to reduce wheat importation and promote local agriculture. Barley brewer’s spent grain (BSG), a high-fibre by-product of the brewing industry, is relatively inexpensive and available at large quantities. Sorghum, which is well-adapted to cultivation in sub-Saharan Africa, is an underutilized grain-crop. BSG and sorghum are potential vehicle

Abstract:

Dans un contexte de changement global et d'exigence d'une alimentation saine, sûre et durable, la qualité des protéines végétales constitue un enjeu majeur. Les protéines du grain de blé couvrent près de 20 % des apports azotés chez l'adulte. Leur qualité santé repose notamment sur une richesse en acides aminés essentiels, l'absence de précurseurs de molécules néfastes telles que l'acrylamide, et un gluten plus digeste. Les stress abiotiques liés aux changements climatiques et à l'évolution des pratiques agronomiques sont autant de facteurs environnementaux impactant la teneur et la compositio

Abstract:

[Abstract]: This dissertation investigates how an independent Australian grain exporting SME has been able to access the Japanese market for food quality soybeans and corn. This firm has succeeded in entering this market despite entrenched competition from traditional suppliers in the USA and Canada and in the face of rigorous food safety and quality standards as required in this particular market. The research in this dissertation focuses on outlining the critical ‘enabling competencies’ that the firm and its suppliers developed in order to enter the Japanese market. A single case methodology

Abstract:

Master of Science<br>Department of Agronomy<br>Ramasamy Perumal<br>Tesfaye Tesso<br>Grain mold (GM) is an important biotic constraint limiting yield and market value of sorghum grains. It results in kernel discoloration and deterioration. Such kernels have reduced seed viability, low food and feed quality. Breeding for grain mold resistance is challenging because of the complex nature of host-pathogen-environment interactions. This complex task could be made simpler by utilizing molecular markers. Utilization of marker resources may help to find genomic regions associated with grain mold resis
