Abstract:
This work examines some of the factors that influence PHS in wheat, with particular emphasis on the premature production of alpha-amylase (PMAA) in the absence of visible sprouting. Field trials in 1989 and 1990 studied alpha-amylase activity in relation to grain development in four winter wheat cultivars. Weather conditions were generally warmer and drier than average in both years. Differences in drying rate were induced by covering and wetting treatments. Fenman had a slower rate of grain drying (40% - 23% moisture) than other varieties, but, within varieties, drying rate appeared not to be

Abstract:
Each genotype was exposed to controlled PHS conditions for evaluation of susceptibility or tolerance to sprouting, falling number, kernel color, test weight, and yield. The 24 genotypes were grown in replicated trials at three locations over three years, all data subjected to an analysis of variance. Over three years the genotypes were rated for visual PHS using a 1 to 9 scale, with 1 equivalent to no visual PHS and 9 equivalent to maximum visual PHS. The red genotypes exhibited a higher tolerance to PHS than white genotypes with a mean PHS score of 4.46 compared with 5.16 for white genotypes.

Wheat and wheat products represent a major food staple consumed around the world. Asian noodles account for the end-use of at least twelve percent of all wheat produced globally. Whereas there has been extensive research into the role and significance of enzymes in the utilisation of wheat flour in bread-making, less is known of their role in Asian noodles. Accordingly, this study has been based on the hypothesis that some enzymes will have a significant impact on the quality characteristics of at least some styles of Asian noodle products.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Wheat is the main crop in Australia and there are stringent quality requirements. Preharvest sprouting induced by rainfall between maturity and harvest lowers grain quality from premium to feed grades and reduces yield. Wheat production has expanded into the southern Western Australian region where preharvest sprouting occurs in ~1 in 4 seasons and development of more preharvest sprouting tolerant genotypes is required. The main mechanism for improving preharvest sprouting tolerance is grain dormancy. There is genetic variation for dormancy based in the embryo and seed coa

Abstract:
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and Pre-maturity amylase (PMA) are physiological defects in wheat grains that reduce their end-use quality. PHS is the precocious germination of grains before harvest while PMA is the accumulation of α-amylase in grains. Both traits are quantitative in their expression and are strongly influenced by the environment. In this project, I studied six Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) located on chromosomes 1A, 2D, 3A (2 loci), 4A and 7B, which confer resistance to PHS or PMA in UK wheat varieties. The aims of this project were to validate and characterise the effects of the

Abstract:
High pre-harvest rainfall in 2006 caused significant pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) and weathering throughout the mid-Atlantic soft red winter wheat (SRWW) (Triticum aestivum L.) growing region. Sprouting and weathering caused decreased flour quality due to lowered dough viscosity and decreased ability to withstand mixing and processing for baked goods. Due to its decreased quality, severely sprouted grain is sold for feed, at a lower price per bushel. Pre-harvest sprouting negatively affects the chain of production from the field to baking operations. The purpose of this research was to eval

Abstract:
Pre-harvest sprouting in wheat costs farmers millions of dollars every year. Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PST) has minimized this problem, but improvement of PST is still necessary. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (synthetics) have been used as sources of genes coding for many useful traits. Two studies evaluated the PST of a synthetic (Altar 84/Aegilops tauschii) and investigated its potential as a source of PST in crosses with wheat cultivars. The first study compared the synthetic with selected wheat checks for PST and with its parent Altar 84 for the germination response of these genotypes

Abstract:
Wheat is the world’s third largest food crop, and is relied upon as a food source by millions of people. Securing the supply of wheat is a problem because it is susceptible to many biotic and abiotic factors that limit production. One such factor, sprouting of the grain in the head, because of untimely rainfall prior to harvest, is a substantial problem worldwide. Pre-harvest sprouting has a significant impact on wheat growers, who suffer considerable economic hardship as a result of yield loss during harvesting and subsequent downgrading of their sprouted crops.

Abstract:
Wheat grain quality is defined by several parameters, of which insect and fungal damage and sprouting are considered important degrading factors. At present, Canadian wheat is inspected and graded manually by Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) inspectors at grain handling facilities or in the CGC laboratories. Visual inspection methods are time consuming, less efficient, subjective, and require experienced personnel. Therefore, an alternative, rapid, objective, accurate, and cost effective technique is needed for grain quality monitoring in real-time which can potentially assist or replace the ma
