The Relationship

A recently developed modified milling flow for a three-stand Allis-Chalmers laboratory mill that gives a semolina yield and semolina granulation similar to that of Canadian commercial mills was used to study the relationship between durum wheat test weight, 1000-kernel weight, protein content and semolina milling yield for a series of 174 durum wheat samples. All correlations except the correlation between protein content and 1000-kernel weight were significant. Maximum milling yield was obtained for samples possessing high test weight and high 1000-kernel weight. Increased protein content resulted in a tendency to lower milling yield. For a series of hand-picked samples it was found that as starchy kernel content increased, milling yield was not affected but the proportion of flour increased. Protein content and yellow pigment content decreased with increased starchy kernel content.

Linear Manner

SummaryGrain yield, plant height, spike length, grain weight per spike, 100-kernel weight, protein quantity and quality of Mexipak wheat grown with four rates of applied nitrogen (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg N/ha) and five rates of applied zinc (0, 1·25, 2·5, 5·0 and 7·5 kg Zn/ha) were measured. All these attributes were affected significantly by nitrogen fertilization in a linear manner. Differences among rates of applied zinc were significant for grain weight per spike, 100-kernel weight, grain yield and protein quantity and quality.

Two experiments were conducted in a Coto clay (Oxisol) at the Isabela Substation to determine the effect of foliar-applied nutrients on performance of two pigeonpea cultivars. The treatments consisted of foliar-applied Nutrileaf at a rate of 2.24 kg /ha at weekly, biweekly, triweekly, and monthly intervals; biweekly applications of equivalent amounts of N and P separately and combined as urea and triple su perphosphate, respectively; and a check without fertilizer. The data show that foliar-applied nutrients did not have significant effects on green pod yield, plant height, seed weight, protein content, or seed to pod ratio of the two cultivars. Cultivar Kaki yielded more green pods with heavier seeds and grew taller than the experimental line 2B- Bushy. The seed to pod ratio for 2B-Bushy was higher than that for Kaki, but in both protein content was almost the same.

Four year trials were undertaken to study the milling and baking rye quality, the hybrid variety Picasso and population varieties Dankowskie nowe and Selgo having been examined coming from three different locations of the Czech Republic. The variety significantly (<i>P</i> < 0.01) influenced the specific weight, grain size, amylograph maximum, and grain yield. The year of harvest significantly (<i>P</i> < 0.01) influenced the thousand grain weight, maltose content, protein content, amylograph maximum, and grain yield. The location significantly (<i>P</i> < 0.01) influenced the thousand grain weight, protein content, amylograph maximum, and grain yield. The highest pentosan content (average of the four years and three locations) was achieved by the hybrid variety Picasso (8.04%), which had the highest Falling number (232 s) as well as amylograph maximum (597 AU). The location Hradec nad Svitavou proved to be the best (8.02% pentosans) while the year 2005 (8.34% pentosans) was the most positive. A positive correlation (<i>P</i> < 0.05) was found between the pentosan content and the Falling number.

The relationship between farinograph dough breakdown and the proportion of flour protein insoluble in 0 . 0 5M acetic acid (residue protein) was investigated for a number of wheats each grown at six locations in the Mallee and Wimmera regions of Victoria. At each location a highly significant correlation was obtained (R ranging from 0.84 to 0.93), which indicated that the 'residue test' could be used as a selection tool in wheat-breeding programs. Regressions of flour milling yield, flour protein content, farinograph water absorption, dough development time and dough breakdown, and the proportion of residue protein were calculated for each parameter for the wheats grown at Dooen against those for wheats grown at each other location. Variables largely dependent on protein 'quality', viz. dough breakdown, dough development time and residue protein, ranked the wheats similarly at each location of growth. Rankings according to milling yield, farinograph water absorption and flour protein content differed more markedly between locations.

Simultaneous Immobilization

Deprivation of food caused significant changes in the weight, protein content, protein turnover and RNA concentrations of the extensor digitorum longus muscle. Simultaneous immobilization to render the muscle inactive did not make the tissue any more susceptible to the effects of starvation. In contrast, immobilization in a stretched state resulted in less muscle wasting after deprivation of food.

While uterotrophic effects of relaxin are well documented, the mechanism through which relaxin promotes uterine growth is incompletely understood. Studies in rats suggest that relaxin-stimulated uterine edema depends on estrogen receptor (ER) activation. Here, neonatal pigs were used to investigate the interaction between relaxin and ER signaling pathways. Gilts were treated either at birth (postnatal day (PND) 0) (study 1) before the onset of endometrial ERα expression, or on PND 12 (study 2) after the onset of ERα expression. In study 1, gilts were treated with estradiol-17β or porcine relaxin for two days and uteri were collected on PND 2. In study 2, PND 12 gilts were treated with a single injection of the ER antagonist ICI 182,780 (ICI) or vehicle. Two hours later, gilts were given either estradiol-17β or porcine relaxin for two days. When administered for two days from birth (study 1), neither estradiol-17β nor relaxin affected uterine weight or protein content. However, uterine luminal epithelial height was greater in relaxin- than in vehicle-treated gilts. In contrast, in study 2, both estradiol and relaxin increased uterine weight, protein content and uterine luminal epithelial height on PND 14. These effects were inhibited by pre-treatment with ICI in both estradiol- and relaxin-treated gilts. The results indicate that uterotrophic effects of relaxin in the neonatal pig are related to age and to both the relative presence and state of activation of the ER system in developing uterine tissues between birth and PND 14.
