Polymorphism of the storage proteins in Portuguese rye (Secale cereale L.) populations.

Currently, due to the abandonment of traditional agricultural practices and the decline of rye production in Portugal, there is a need to assess the genetic diversity of rye in order to preserve its biodiversity. Furthermore, a greater knowledge of rye secalins is important for rye bread‐making quality and other crop breeding purposes. The genetic variation...

Towards allelic diversity in the storage proteins of old and currently growing tetraploid and hexaploid wheats in Portugal

Using sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), the different alleles encoded at the 6 glutenin loci and 3 ω-gliadin loci were identified from a set of 134 hexaploid and 128 tetraploid wheat accessions mainly grown in Portugal. in Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution volume 58, pages1051–1073 Leia o trabalho completo aqui.

Zonal responses of sensitive vs. Tolerant wheat roots during Al exposure and recovery.

Aluminium (Al) irreversibly inhibits root growth in sensitive, but not in some tolerant genotypes. To better understand tolerance mechanisms, seedlings from tolerant (‘Barbela 7/72’ line) and sensitive (‘Anahuac’) Triticum aestivum L. genotypes were exposed to AlCl3 185 μM for: (a) 24 h followed by 48 h without Al (recovery); (b) 72 h of continuous exposure....

Differential aluminium changes on nutrient accumulation and root differentiation in an Al sensitive vs. tolerant wheat. Environmental and Experimental Botany 68 91–98

Investigation of the uptake of Al and transport to shoots in one wheat line and one cultivar differing in their tolerance to Al: ‘Barbela 7/72’ (Al-tolerant) and ‘Anahuac’ (Al-sensitive). in Environmental and Experimental Botany 68 91–98 Leia o artigo completo aqui.

Differential Physiological Responses of Portuguese Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes under Aluminium Stress

The major limitation of cereal production in acidic soils is aluminium (Al) phytotoxicity which inhibits root growth. Recent evidence indicates that different genotypes within the same species have evolved different mechanisms to cope with this stress. With these facts in mind, root responses of two highly Al tolerant Portuguese bread wheat genotypes—Barbela 7/72/92 and Viloso...
