INTERATrigo – Avaliação do rendimento e qualidade em trigo mole, em função das interações água-azoto.
1) Avaliar os efeitos combinados de diferentes estratégias de fertilização azotada com diferentes volumes de rega nas respostas produtivas de uma variedade de trigo melhorador (Antequera); 2) Definir um conjunto de itinerários técnicos que sejam potenciadores de eficiência de uso do azoto em trigo regado; 3) Utilizar o conhecimento adquirido para encontrar as melhores opções...
Biofortificação de trigo mole em zinco para produção de farinha. Grupo Operacional.
Tem como objetivo fundamental aumentar os níveis em zinco em trigo mole através de adubação em fundo e/ou foliar. A biofortificação realiza-se em ambiente controlado (fitoclima) e em ambiente real (campos de ensaio). Contacto: Fernando Lidon Saiba mais sobre o projeto aqui.

Unravelling the nutriproteomics of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) seeds.
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an essential grain for human consumption owing to its high protein content, nutritional quality and energy-efficient production. The aim of this study was to compare the protein extracts of 24 chickpea genotypes by biochemically characterising the storage proteins. in Crop & Pasture Science, 68:1041–1051.

Sequential zinc and iron biofortification of bread-wheat grains: from controlled to uncontrolled environments.
The development of knowledge on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) biofortification in zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), related to its potential agronomical use and the nutritional and technological implications, is becoming important to strategies for improving human nutrition. In this context, we studied the accumulation of Zn and Fe in grains, considering potential uptake and...
How microwave treatment of gluten affects its toxicity for celiac patients? A study on the effect of microwaves on the structure, conformation, functionality and immunogenicity of glúten.
In order to better understand the effect of the microwave treatment on gluten structure, conformation, functionality and celiac-immunotoxicity, a central composite design with two factors, power level, and treatment time, was used to investigate a possible quadratic and interaction effects between both factors. in Food Chemistry, 297:124986.

Next-generation therapies for celiac disease: The gluten-targeted approaches.
Based on increasing knowledge of the pathogenesis of celiac disease, some gluten-targeted approaches have been devised, such as down-regulation of gliadin expression, proteolysis of immunodominant peptides, transamidation of glutamine residues and sequestering of gliadin proteins. The present work critically discusses these experimental therapies, their usefulness, and the results obtained, in order to infer what the...
Wheat glutenin: The “tail” of the 1By protein subunits.
Gluten-forming storage proteins play a major role in the viscoelastic properties of wheat dough through the formation of a continuous proteinaceous network. The high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits represent a functionally important subgroup of gluten proteins by promoting the formation of large glutenin polymers through interchain disulphide bonds between glutenin subunits. Here, we present evidences that y-type...
