The effects of transglutaminase (TG) on the pasting and rheological properties of different wheat cultivars ('Sharpshooter', 'Russ', and 'AcAriss') blended with barley (40%) or soy (20%) flour were investigated. In the rapid visco-analyzer (RVA) pasting profile, the addition of barley or soy flour to wheat flour samples induced a decrease in peak, trough, final viscosity, breakdown and setback values. However, TG treatment of these blends significantly increased peak viscosity and breakdown (p<0.05). In particular, TG treatment greatly increased the breakdown of wheat flour blended with soy flour, indicating that the cross-linking of proteins through TG may somehow be related to an increase in starch granule rupturing in pastes. Storage (G') and loss (G") moduli of the sample pastes increased with an increase in frequency ($\omega$), while complex viscosity (${\eta}*$) decreased. In all wheat cultivars, G', G", and $\eta$ were decreased by the addition of barley or soy flour, or TG treatment. Results suggest that protein cross-linking by TG can produce unique and improved properties in wheat flours blended with barley or soy flour.

Winter wheat is susceptible to several fungal pathogens throughout the growing season and foliar fungicide application is one of the strategies used in the management of fungal diseases in winter wheat. However, for fungicides to be profitable, weather conditions conducive to fungal disease development should be present. To determine if winter wheat yield response to fungicide application at the flowering growth stage (Feekes 10.5.1) was related to the growing season precipitation, grain yield from fungicide treated plots was compared to non-treated plots for 19 to 30 hard red winter wheat cultivars planted at 8 site years from 2011 through 2015. At all locations, Prothioconazole + Tebuconazole or Tebuconazole alone was applied at flowering timing for the fungicide treated plots. Grain yield response (difference between treated and non-treated) ranged from 66-696 kg/ha across years and locations. Grain yield response had a positive and significant linear relationship with cumulative rainfall in May through June for the mid and top grain yield ranked cultivars ($R^2=54%$, 78%, respectively) indicating that a higher amount of accumulated rainfall in this period increased chances of getting a higher yield response from fungicide application. Cultivars treated with a fungicide had slightly higher protein content (up to 0.5%) compared to non-treated. These results indicate that application of fungicides when there is sufficient moisture in May and June may increase chances of profitability from fungicide application.

Wheat is one of the most important grains. Its consumption is increasing globally. Many countries are making efforts to increase the extent of wheat harvest. It is known that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) have beneficial effects on various plants. Two PGPRs including Paenibacillus pabuli strain P7S (PP7S) and Pseudomonas nitroreducens strain IHB (PnIHB) were employed to investigate effects of PGPRs on early growth of three wheat cultivars (Koso, Seakumkang, and Jokyung). While PP7S had adverse effects on Seakumkang and Jokyung, PP7S had positive effects on Koso except root length compared to control group having no treatment of PP7S. However, all treatments with PnIHB had adverse effects on germination rate, root/shoot lengths, vigor index, and dry root/shoot weights of all three wheat cultivars. These positive effects with PP7S on Koso might be related to the earlier emergence of wheat seed above soil which is known to be an indicator of increased yield. Results of the present study suggest that if proper PGPR strains are selected, they could have positive effects on early growth rate of a wheat cultivar.

Cookie baking properties and relationships between cookie baking properties and flour characteristics were evaluated for two years, 1997 and 1998, and at two locations, Suwon and Deokso, with Korean winter wheat cultivars and lines. Cookie baking parameters, except for cookie diameter and top grain score, were influenced by locations and years. Chokwang, Suwon 274, Suwon 275, Suwon 277 and Urimil showed larger cookie diameter and excellent top grain score compared to the other Korean winter wheat cultivars and lines. Among the flour characteristics, protein content, damaged starch content, alkaline water retention capacity and flour swelling volume showed high positive correlation coefficients with cookie baking parameters. Friabilin-present lines showed larger cookie diameter, suitable surface structure of cookie and softer snapping force than the friabilin-absent lines.

In order to find if a ferulic acid (FA) can be used as a selection index in cereal breeding for resistance to head blight and mycotoxin production, we analyzed FA in the grains of 80 cultivars of barley, rice, and wheat. FA content ranged 1.66-2.77 mg/g in barley (n=20), 0.56-1.53 mg/g in wheat (n=40), and 0.91-2.13 mg/g in rice (n=20). Among these, 7 cultivars each of barley and wheat with different FA content were tested for head blight and mycotoxin production by 2 Fusarium graminearum and 2 F. asiaticum strains. Mean pathogenicity of the wheat cultivars was significantly less than that of barley with higher FA and among wheat cultivars, there was no correlation between FA content and pathogenicity. Mycotoxin production was also lower in the wheat than in the barley as pathogenicity. However, pathogenicity and toxins produced by F. asiaticum were negatively correlated with FA content in barley. These results indicate that FA is not a resistance factor to head blight by F. asiaticum and F. graminearum or its mycotoxin production in barley and wheat.

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating wheat disease with a significant economic impact. Fhb1 is the most important large effect and stable QTL for FHB resistance. A pore-forming toxin-like (PFT) gene was recently identified as an underlying gene for Fhb1 resistance. In this study, we developed and validated a PFT-based Kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) marker for Fhb1. The KASP marker, PFT_KASP, was used to screen 298 diverse wheat breeding lines and cultivars. The KASP clustering results were compared with gelbased gene specific markers and the widely used linked STS marker, UMN10. Eight disagreements were found between PFT_KASP and UMN10 assays among the tested lines. Based on the genotyping and sequencing of genes in the Fhb1 region, these genotypes were found to be common with a previously characterized susceptible haplotype. Therefore, our results indicate that PFT_KASP is a perfect diagnostic marker for Fhb1 and would be a valuable tool for introgression and pyramiding of FHB resistance in wheat cultivars.

This study was performed to compare the processing aptitudes of the rice muffins produced from the seven rice varieties, including Goami, Goami 2, Deuraechan, Baegjinju, Seolgaeng, Haiami and Hanareum, along with the use of hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses (HPMCs) as a replacement for the egg white. The water binding capacity of rice flours was significantly higher than that of wheat flour, but its fat binding capacity was lower than that of wheat flour (p<0.05). In the viscosity of the batter, Goami and Baegjinju were lower than that of the wheat flour. There was no significant difference in the specific gravity of Seolgaeng and the batter of wheat flour. The pH of all varieties except Goami 2 was higher than batter of wheat flour(p<0.05). Haiami flour produced higher muffin volume and specific volume compared with the wheat flour muffin. The textural characteristics, the muffins produced by Haiami and Hanareum flours had significantly lower hardness than the wheat flour muffin after 30 hours. All rice varieties except Gaomi 2 showed no significant difference compared to the wheat flour muffin in color, taste and texture (p<0.05). Furthermore, flavor of muffins produced from the Seolgaeng, Haiami and Hanareum flours tested higher than the wheat flour muffin. It was concluded that the rice varieties of Seolgaeng, Goami, Haiami and Hanareum were considered to be the most suitable rice cultivars for the rice muffins.

This study was carried out to find major factors affecting the color of wheat flour and noodles and develop simple analysis method for the breeding of wheat cultivars suitable for producing flour and noodles with bright color which are preferred by consumers. Customers who buy white noodle or flour prefer bright-colored food to dark-colored products. We evaluated grains of 25 Korean wheat cultivars for chemical composition, grain characteristics, and color change of noodle dough sheets during storage. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has been connected to discoloration of white salted noodles and other wheat end products. The grain PPO activity was reduced as the 1,000 grain weight, grain ash content, and protein content decreased. The grain PPO activity was positively correlated with the total polyphenol content ($r=0.609^{**}$) and iron content ($r=0.655^{**}$). Lightness, protein, polyphenol and Fe content of flour were positively correlated with PPO activity of grain. Cultivars with higher grain PPO activity showed darker noodles and were more easily discolored during the storage (from 2 hr to 48 hr). Thus, PPO activity can be used as a selection index in a breeding program for wheat cultivars of bright-colored flour.

This study was done to determine the optimum sowing time for spring sowing wheat in the southern region of the entire Korean peninsula. Jokyoung and Keumkangmil were sown four times at one-week intervals starting from Feb. 14, 2013. The thousand grain weights of the two wheat varieties were the highest on February 14 with the seed weights ranging from 36.6 to 40 g and significantly decreasing as the seeding time was delayed. The unmatured grain percentage increased sharply when both cultivars were sown starting on March 7. The grain yields were the highest for Keumkangmil with 3.07 MT/ha when sowed on February 21 and 3.37 MT/ha for Jokyoung when sowed on February 14. In both cultivars, the grain yield decreased drastically when they were sown on March 7. Ash content did increase when the sowing date was delayed. The flour gluten index was the highest at 96.2 in Keumkangmil with a February 28 sowing, and the sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) segmentation was the lowest ranging from 63.8 to 65.3 mL with the February 28 sowing. The falling number tended to increase with the delay of the sowing period. The flour milling rate was gradually decreased with the delay of sowing, and the bran gradually decreased. When both cultivars were sown after February 28, the grain and flour yields sharply decreased. In the southern region, the optimum time for the spring sowing of wheat is from February 14 to February 21.

In Bangladesh, increases in the tropospheric ozone ($O_3$) concentration and in soil salinization may lead to crop damage. To clarify the effects of $O_3$ and/or soil salinity on Bangladeshi wheat cultivars, BAW1059 (salt-tolerant) and Shatabdi (salt-sensitive) were exposed to 70-day treatments with $O_3$ (charcoal-filtered air (CF), $1.0{\times}O_3$, and $1.5{\times}O_3$) and different levels of soil salinity (0, 4, and $8dS\;m^{-1}$). In both cultivars, the whole-plant dry mass and grain yield were significantly reduced by exposure to $O_3$. Increased soil salinity caused significant reductions in whole-plant growth and yield in Shatabdi, but the reductions were negligible in BAW1059. No significant interactions between $O_3$ and salinity were detected for growth, yield, and leaf gas exchange parameters in both cultivars. We concluded that the effects of $O_3$ are not ameliorated by soil salinity in two Bangladeshi wheat cultivars, regardless of their salinity tolerance.
