Summary: The study evaluated the biscuit quality performances of a soft wheat variety, Karaduman, and a candidate wheat line (7) across multiple locations and years. Karaduman showed good yield potential and physical properties but weak gluten quality, while Line 7 had outstanding grain yield and physical properties but also weak gluten quality.

Summary: Little research has been done on the effect of Selenium (Se) on durum wheat yield and grain quality performances. This study found that the effect of exogenous Se foliar supply on grain yield and quality attributes was significant, with different effects in different environments. Advanced lines showed higher grain yield under specific conditions, while modern varieties utilized Se foliar application better.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the effects of two waterlogging durations on two durum wheat cultivars, finding that the impact of waterlogging on wheat varied depending on the duration, and differences in waterlogging tolerance between cultivars were discovered. Waterlogging during tillering impaired wheat's physiological activity, affecting crop growth and yield.

Summary: This study evaluated the mineral composition of different wheat varieties, finding higher concentrations of minerals in bran and whole grain flour, especially potassium and magnesium. The results suggest that some samples meet the conditions for approved health claims, potentially supporting the classification of wheat flour as functional foods.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of different concentrations of NaCl on the germination process of Triticum durum grains, and found that the optimal salinity level for maximizing the production of phytochemicals, particularly phenolic compounds, needs further investigation. The results showed that higher concentrations of NaCl significantly affected germination performance. Salinity induced the accumulation of phenolic compounds in both roots and shoots, with the highest accumulation observed at 200 mM NaCl.

Summary: This study investigated the response of durum wheat roots to different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and found that Cd colocalized with the phytosiderophore nicotianamine (NA) and was compartmentalized in the root thickened walls through vesicular trafficking, reducing Cd translocation to the aerial organs of the plant.

Summary: The study analyzed the diversity of root systems in six durum wheat accessions under drought conditions and evaluated root traits using a high-throughput phenotyping scanner. The results showed significant variability in root development, distribution, and architecture among the different genotypes. Interestingly, the two drought-tolerant genotypes exhibited different root system ideotypes and rooting patterns. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between the root angle of plants grown in greenhouse conditions and plants grown in the field.

Summary: This study investigated the yeast ecology of durum wheat and evaluated the interaction between kernel yeasts and commercial baker's yeast during dough leavening. It identified multiple yeast species and suggested potential candidates for co-inoculation with commercial starter S. cerevisiae to improve the sensory characteristics of bread.

Summary: In this study, the effects of drought and heat stress on thermotolerance in durum wheat were investigated. The results showed that drought priming could induce the acquisition of thermotolerance in most cultivars. Proline accumulation and activation of heat shock proteins expression were also correlated to thermotolerance.

Summary: Wheat kernel hardness affects the properties of starch, and annealing treatment has an impact on it. Starches from soft and hard wheat have higher amylose content, while medium-hard wheat starch has higher relative crystallinity. Annealing treatment increases the relative crystallinity of soft and hard wheat starch, and decreases pasting properties and swelling power.

Summary: This study analyzed 123 durum wheat accessions to understand the genetic evolution and provide detailed information about agro-morphological-quality traits of different groups. By comparing the differences in traits and heritability among different environments, this study can help to better manage and utilize the genetic diversity of durum wheat.

Summary: This study aimed to identify QTLs associated with flag leaf senescence in wheat. Bulked segregant analysis using the wheat 660K SNP array identified 3225 SNPs between extreme-phenotype bulks. Based on InDel markers and gene expression analysis, two major QTLs were identified. This study has potential for cloning key genes and marker-assisted breeding for flag leaf senescence.

Summary: The significance of yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis (Pst) has increased worldwide, including in Russia. The study aimed to explore the yellow rust resistance potential of modern common winter wheat cultivars included in the Russian Register of Breeding Achievements. The research found that some cultivars had multiple resistance genes, which can enhance genetic diversity and overall yellow rust resistance.

Summary: Bioactive peptides have diverse applications in pharmaceutical and food industries, and have been projected as allies in controlling and preventing certain diseases due to their antioxidant, antihypertensive, or hypoglycemic activities. In recent years, the use of supercritical fluid technology, particularly subcritical water, has emerged as an efficient and sustainable alternative for obtaining peptides from various protein sources.

Summary: This study focused on the hydrolysis of faba bean starch using acid and microwave energy to obtain a food-grade coating material. The resulting hydrolyzed starches had low viscosity, high solubility, and desirable thermal and structural properties to be used as a coating material. The severe conditions of microwave treatment resulted in high amylose content, solubility, and absorption indexes. These hydrolyzed starches have the potential to produce matrices for functional compound delivery.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of shock waves on Aspergillus niger and found that they did not significantly affect the viability and germination of conidia. However, increased aggressiveness of the treatment led to changes in certain genes and significant modifications to the cell wall. Under optimized conditions, shock waves could be used for various biotechnological applications.
