Effect of arachidonic and jasmonic acid elicitation on the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.)
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2019Source: Food ChemistryAuthor(s): Urszula Złotek, Urszula Szymanowska, Anna Jakubczyk, Małgorzata Sikora, Michał ŚwiecaAbstractThe effect of elicitation with arachidonic and jasmonic acids on the production of phenolic compounds as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of phenolic extracts of wheatgrass was evaluated. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds carried out with the UPLC-MS technique indicated that luteolin and apigenin derivatives were the dominant flavonoids, while ferulic acid derivatives and syringic acid were the m...

Synergistic effect of selenium and UV ‐B radiation in enhancing antioxidant level of wheatgrass grown from selenium rich wheat
In this study, exposure of Se‐rich wheatgrass to UV‐B radiation has exhibited a significant increase in different ant ioxidant properties. Thus, wheatgrass naturally enriched with selenium can be an effective source of Se supplementation along with other nutritional benefits that it facilitates. (Source: Journal of Food Biochemistry)

Development and characterization of wheat-sea wheatgrass (Thinopyrum junceiforme) amphiploids for biotic stress resistance and abiotic stress tolerance.
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE: Development of a complete wheat-Thinopyrum junceiforme amphiploid facilitated identification of resistance to multiple pests and abiotic stress derived from the wild species and shed new light on its genome composition. Wheat production is facing numerous challenges from biotic and abiotic stresses. Alien gene transfer has been an effective approach for wheat germplasm enhancement. Thinopyrum junceiforme, also known as sea wheatgrass (SWG), is a distant relative of wheat and a relatively untapped source for wheat improvement. In the present study, we developed a complete amphiploid, 1...

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic, recurring, inflammatory skin disease. A number of researchers have been seeking safe AD therapies for a long time. Triticum aestivum sprouts (TAEE), known as wheatgrass, are one of the most widely used health foods worldwide. They show numerous beneficial effects, including antican...

The Agropyron cristatum karyotype, chromosome structure and cross-genome homoeology as revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization with tandem repeats and wheat single-gene probes.
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE: Fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes for 45 cDNAs and five tandem repeats revealed homoeologous relationships of Agropyron cristatum with wheat. The results will contribute to alien gene introgression in wheat improvement. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L. Gaertn.) is a wild relative of wheat and a promising source of novel genes for wheat improvement. To date, identification of A. cristatum chromosomes has not been possible, and its molecular karyotype has not been available. Furthermore, homoeologous relationship between the genomes of A. cristatum and wheat has n...

Rathayibacter agropyri (non O'Gara, 1916) comb. nov., nom. rev., isolated from western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii).
Abstract
Aplanobacter agropyri was first described in 1915 by O'Gara and later transferred to the genus Corynebacterium by Burkholder in 1948 but it was not included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names in 1980 and, consequently, is not recognized as a validly published species. In the 1980s, bacteria resembling Corynebacterium agropyri were isolated from plant samples stored at the Washington State Mycological Herbarium and from a diseased wheatgrass plant collected in Cardwell, Montana, USA. In the framework of this study, eight additional isolates were recovered from the same herbarium plant samples...

Growth, development, and biomass partitioning of the perennial grain crop Thinopyrum intermedium
Abstract
Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) is a perennial grass that is being domesticated and improved for use as a grain crop. As a perennial grain crop, intermediate wheatgrass has the potential to produce economically viable, food‐grade grain while providing environmental benefits such as reduced erosion and nitrate leaching. To guide agronomic activities for this new crop, more information on intermediate wheatgrass growth and development is needed. We sampled plants every 3–5 days throughout the growing season at three environments to measure growth and development in response to accumulating growi...

Production and Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of a Durum Wheat-Thinopyrum elongatum 7E Disomic Addition Line with Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight
Wheatgrass, Thinopyrum elongatum(2n = 2x = 14, EE), is an important wild relative of wheat with many excellent traits, including resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB), that can be used for durum wheat improvement. Through hybridization of the durum cultivar “Langdon” with the amphiploid 8801 (AABBEE), a disomic alien addition line (2n = 30) with a pair ofTh. elongatum 7E chromosomes was obtained and confirmed using chromosome-specific molecular markers ofTh. elongatum and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). This line is meiotically and reproductively stable, generally forming 15 bivalents at meiosis including 14 p...

Practical design of a diffusion-type time-temperature indicator with intrinsic low temperature dependency
In this study, a TTI design method was developed to avoid the undesired overprediction. A polydiacetylene/silica nanocomposite (PDA/SiO2 NC) was used as the color-developing substance, which was loaded on the diffusion path of a microporous strip, with Tween 20 as the moving substance. When the Tween 20 reached the test line of the PDA/SiO2 NC, the line transitioned from blue to red, indicating the TTI endpoint. A principal design factor was used to accurately locate the test line. Four TTIs (TTI5°C, TTI10°C, TTI15°C, and TTI25°C) were designed in combination with the various test line locations, by matching the TTI en...
