Disease relevance of Cereals

• Most interestingly, the T. timopheevi cytoplasm inducing male sterility in alloplasmic wheat, fails to generate the CMS phenotype in triticale [1].

High impact information on Cereals

• The aim of this work was to characterise the kinematic and dynamic attributes and their interrelations in freely swaying inflorescence-bearing stems of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Triticale [2].
• Importance of cereal phytase activity for phytate phosphorus utilization by growing pigs fed diets containing triticale or corn [3].
• The effect of Al on organic acid metabolism was investigated in two lines of triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmark) differing in Al-induced secretion of malate and citrate and in Al resistance [4].
• The levels of citrate (root apices and mature root segments) and malate (mature segments only) in roots increased during exposure to Al, but similar changes were observed in both triticale genotypes [4].
• The objectives of this study were to determine if biotin-labelled total genomic DNA of rye (Secale cereale L.) could be used to (i) preferentially label rye meiotic chromosomes in triticale and (ii) detect translocation stocks at interphase and/or early prophase by in situ hybridization [5].

Biological context of Cereals

• In the wheat x rye amphiploid triticale, containing 28 chromosomes of wheat origin and 14 from rye, rDNA of rye origin (on chromosome 1R) is not normally expressed, while the 1B- and 6B-origin rDNA from wheat shows strong expression [6].
• In antibiosis experiments, Stniism 3 and triticale 'H7089-52' (PI 611811) prolonged time to reproduction by R. padi compared with that on wheat accessions 'Arapahoe' (PI 518591), 'KS92WGRC24' (PI 574479), and 'MV4' (PI 435095), whereas time to reproduction on 8TA5L was intermediate and did not differ from that on the other five accessions [7].
• The relative band staining intensities of ADH isoenzymes in wheat and triticale suggest alloploid genome interactions [8].

Anatomical context of Cereals

• Seeds of Triticale contain a lectin that agglutinates rabbit erythrocytes whose activity is inhibited by N-Acetylglucosamine and its oligomers [9].

Associations of Cereals with chemical compounds

• Effect of organic matter and liming on the reduction of cadmium uptake from soil by triticale and spring oilseed rape [10].
• Supplementation of the diets containing the two corns and triticale with lysine failed to improve egg production and egg weight [11].
• Over the three crop years, the wheat and triticale averaged 11.3 and 11.0% crude protein, .36 and .38% lysine, and .36 and .37% threonine, respectively [12].
• These effects were partially reversed when either fat or procaine penicillin was added to the diet, and comppletely prevented with a high level of vitamin D3 (2,000 I.U./kg.). In another experiment, triticale depressed bone ash even though it did not affect body growth to the same extent as rye [13].
• Comparison between wheat, triticale, rye, soyabean oil and strain of laying bird on the production, and cholesterol and fatty acid contents of eggs [14].

Gene context of Cereals

• Two isoforms of glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), cytoplasmic (GS1) and chloroplastic (GS2) were isolated from shoots of 14-day-old Triticale seedlings, and purified 260-fold and 248-fold, respectively [15].
• Radioallergosorbent testing (RAST) of sera from subjects sensitized to wheat and rye flour indicated that there is significant reaction with seed extracts of 12 cereals (wheat, durum wheat, triticale, cereal rye, barley, rye grass, oats, canary grass, rice, maize, sorghum and Johnson grass) [16].
• Development-dependent inheritance of 5-azacytidine-induced epimutations in triticale: analysis of rDNA expression patterns [17].
• Sequences derived from a rye gamma secalin gene were used as primers in polymerase chain reactions using DNA obtained from a series of wheat and triticale genetic stocks [18].
• In experiment 2, Large White male turkeys were fed a basal diet composed largely of triticale and soybean meal from 12 to 20 weeks of age with different levels of added lysine [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cereals

• Crystalline lysine and threonine supplementation of soft red winter wheat or triticale, low-protein diets for growing-finishing swine [12].
• Purified Triticale lectin is a glycoprotein with 3% carbohydrate and migrates as a single band corresponding to Mr. 15000 on SDS-PAGE [9].
• ELISA technique can be applied using this monoclonal antibody in the detection of gliadin and avenin in samples from wheat or triticale [20].
