    Identification of cereal remains from archaeological sites 2nd edition 2006 Spikelet fork of the “new glume wheat” (Jones et al. 2000) Stefanie JACOMET and collaborators Archaeobotany Lab IPAS, Basel University English translation partly by James Greig CEREALS: CEREALIA Fam. Poaceae /Gramineae (Grasses) Systematics and Taxonomy All cereal species belong botanically (taxonomically) to the large family of the Gramineae (Poaceae). This is one of the largest Angiosperm families with >10 000 different species. In the following the systematics for some of the most imporant taxa is shown: class: Monocotyledoneae order: Poales familiy: Poaceae (= Gramineae) (Süssgräser) subfamily: Pooideae Tribus: Triticeae Subtribus: Triticinae genera: Triticum (Weizen, wheat); Aegilops ; Hordeum (Gerste; barley); Elymus; Hordelymus; Agropyron; Secale (Roggen, rye) Note : Avena and the millets belong to other Tribus. The identification of prehistoric cereal remains assumes understanding of different subject areas in botany. These are mainly morphology and anatomy, but also phylogeny and evolution (and today, also genetics). Since most of the cereal species are treated as domesticated plants, many different forms such as subspecies, varieties, and forms appear inside the genus and species (see table below). In domesticates the taxonomical category of variety is also called “sort” (lat. cultivar, abbreviated: cv.). This refers to a variety which evolved through breeding. Cultivar is the lowest taxonomic rank in the domesticated plants. Occasionally, cultivars are also called races: e.g. landraces evolved through genetic isolation, under local environmental conditions whereas „high-breed-races“ were breed by strong selection of humans. Anyhow: The morphological delimitation of cultivars is difficult, sometimes even impossible. It needs great experience and very detailed morphological knowledge.

  • The Canadian Wheat Board, Warburtons, and the Creative
    The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re- constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history by André J. R. Magnan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by André Magnan 2010. Abstract Title: The Canadian Wheat Board and the creative re-constitution of the Canada-UK wheat trade: wheat and bread in food regime history Author: André J. R. Magnan Submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology University of Toronto, 2010. This dissertation traces the historical transformation of the Canada-UK commodity chain for wheat-bread as a lens on processes of local and global change in agrofood relations. During the 1990s, the Canadian Wheat Board (Canada‟s monopoly wheat seller) and Warburtons, a British bakery, pioneered an innovative identity- preserved sourcing relationship that ties contracted prairie farmers to consumers of premium bread in the UK. Emblematic of the increasing importance of quality claims, traceability, and private standards in the reorganization of agrifood supply chains, I argue that the changes of the 1990s cannot be understood outside of historical legacies giving shape to unique institutions for regulating agrofood relations on the Canadian prairies and in the UK food sector. I trace the rise, fall, and re-invention of the Canada-UK commodity chain across successive food regimes, examining the changing significance of wheat- bread, inter-state relations between Canada, the UK, and the US, and public and private forms of agrofood regulation over time.

Received: 2015.12.02; Accepted: 2016.02.15; Published: 2016.04.08 Abstract The dwarfing mechanism of Rht-dp in dwarf Polish wheat (DPW) is unknown. Each internode of DPW was significantly shorter than it in high Polish wheat (HPW), and the dwarfism was insensitive to photoperiod, abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin (GA), cytokinin (CK), auxin and brassinolide (BR). To understand the mechanism, three sets of transcripts, DPW, HPW, and a chimeric set (a combination of DPW and HPW), were constructed using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Based on the chimeric transcripts, 2,446 proteins were identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). A total of 108 unigenes and 12 proteins were considered as dwarfism-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), respectively.

Determined genetic relationship between the species or genera is very valuable for genetic improvement studies. The chloroplast matK gene sequences ranging from 730 to 1545 nucleotides were downloaded from the GenBank database. These DNA sequences were aligned using Clustal W program. We employed the maximum parsimony method for phylogenetic reconstruction using PAUP* program. Trees resulting from the parsimony analyses were similar to those generated earlier using single or multiple gene analyses, but our analyses resulted in strict consensus tree providing much better resolution of relationships among major clades. We found that gymnosperms (Pinus thunbergii, Pinus attenuata and Ginko biloba) were different from the monocotyledons and dicotyledons. We showed that Cynodon dactylon, Panicum capilare, Zea mays and Saccharum officiarum (all are in the C4 metabolism) were improved from a common ancestors while the other cereals Triticum Avena, Hordeum, Oryza and Phalaris were evolved from another or similar ancestors.

  • 179 RICE HUSK USED AS a BREAD INGREDIENT Matheus Francisco
    Revista Brasileira de Produtos Agroindustriais, Campina Grande, v.20, n.2, p.179-184, 2018 179 ISSN: 1517-8595 RICE HUSK USED AS A BREAD INGREDIENT Matheus Francisco da Paz1, Roger Vasques Marques2, Camilo Bruno Fonseca3, Lauren Andrade Vieira4, Luciara Bilhalva Corrêa5, Érico Kunde Corrêa6 ABSTRACT The rice husk corresponds to approximately one fifth of the grain mass and is usually a devalued byproduct. However, it presents a significant amount of insoluble fibers, which may favor its use as a source of fiber in the human diet. On the other hand, the insertion of these fibers into baking may drastically affect the technological characteristics of the breads. In this context, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the loss of cooking mass, the color of the crust and the crumb, and the specific volume of bread with inclusion of different rice husk contents in its formulation. For this, the rice husk was previously dried, milled with a gram weight fixed at 0.5 mm and mixed in bread formulations with substitution of wheat flour by rice husk in the following proportions, respectively: T1 (100: 0), T2 (95: 5), T3 (90:10), T4 (85:15) and T5 (80:20). The experiment was performed in triplicate and the data processed statically. The results demonstrated that there was no difference of specific volume and loss of mass between the formulations. However, in relation to color, the parameter of luminosity was largely affected, with a marked decrease in both crust and crumb, since there was greater substitution of wheat flour by rice husks.

  • Triticeae Biodiversity and Conservation, a “Genebanker” View
    Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 41, 2005 (Special Issue) Triticeae Biodiversity and Conservation, a “Genebanker” View V. H������ Department of Gene Bank, Research Institute of Crop Production, 161 06 Prague-Ruzyně, Czech Republic, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Wild Triticeae are important genetic resources for cultivated cereals. While wild and primitive wheats are well preserved, other genera are rather neglected. Most of Triticeae have a large area of distribution, many occupy secondary habitats, or are weedy. However, there are also species with a limited distribution and those need primary attention in conservation. Annuals can be easily stored ex situ as easily as cultivated cereals; peren- nials have their longevity shortened. For successful conservation of genetic diversity one sample of a species is not enough. It is necessary to collect samples from the whole distribution area. Geographically distant popula- tions differ not only morphologically, but can have different spectra of genes. Even within a population there are large differences. For species scattered in distribution or restricted to a certain small area, it is reasonable to consider their in situ conservation. The basic requirement is to protect the locality/ies and to ensure that they are managed for sustainable reproduction of the Triticeae. Basically, this requires maintaining acceptable levels of use by man (grazing and disturbance), acceptable levels of plant competition from other species, and controlling allochtonous invasive species. Localities with in situ conservation require instant monitoring. A detailed docu- mentation (so called passport data) is prerequisite for both ex situ and in situ conservation. The taxonomic system must be conservative, without frequent nomenclatoral changes.

  • Khorasan (Kamut® Brand) Wheat
    Khorasan (Kamut® Brand) Wheat Introduction Khorasan wheat (Triticum turgidum, ssp. turanicum) is an ancient wheat variety that originated in the Fertile Crescent in Western Asia. It is a relative of durum wheat and is believed to have come to North America from Egypt, following World War II. It was rediscovered in 1977 by a Montana farmer who spent the next few years propagating the small supply of original seed. In 1990, khorasan wheat was first sold under the trademark KAMUT® in the United States. The trademark was implemented to preserve minimum standards for the khorasan wheat variety and to ensure consistent quality and market supply. KAMUT® wheat is currently only grown as KAMUT® wheat has larger heads, awns and kernels than an organic certified grain and hard red spring wheat and durum. marketed to various countries Photo courtesy T. Blyth, Kamut International around the world. Plant Adaptation KAMUT® wheat production is well suited to growing conditions found in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan, similar to durum. Northern regions with cooler, wetter conditions are less favorable for KAMUT® wheat production as disease risk may be greater and the crop requires about 100 days to mature after seeding or approximately one week later than spring wheat. KAMUT® wheat will grow well in any soil that is suitable for other cereal grain production. KAMUT® wheat has a growth pattern similar to spring wheat varieties. Each sprouted kernel produces one or two stems per seed, and each stem produces a large head with long black awns. It has moderate straw strength and grows to approximately 127 cm (4.2 ft) tall.
