This study investigated the effect of drought stress on the amount of phenolic and flavonoid
compounds as well as H 2 O 2 and malondialdehyde (MDA) in Achillea pachycephala. The …

Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites that contribute to the adaptation of plants to
environmental stresses, including resistance to abiotic and biotic stress. Flavonoids are also …

The present study was designed to evaluate water-induced alterations in non-enzymatic
antioxidants as evidenced by the qualitative and quantitative properties of polyphenols and …

The coloration of several wheat organs has an adaptive significance. Coloration
characteristics are widely used in taxonomy and for certification of wheat varieties; they are …

The grain color of wheat affects not only the brightness of flour, but also tolerance to
preharvest sprouting. Grain color is controlled by dominant R-1 genes located on the long …

The flavonoid biosynthesis pathway yields a large family of phenolic compounds which are
involved in many biological activities including plant defense response to a broad spectrum …

Optimal spike characteristics are critical in improving the sink capacity and yield potential of
wheat even in harsh environments. However, the genetic basis of their response to nitrogen …

Wheat genetic improvement by integration of advanced genomic technologies is one way of
improving productivity. To facilitate the breeding of economically important traits in wheat …

The commercial interest in pigmented wheat grain flows from an understanding that they are
nutritionally superior to white kernels. The pigment of purple coloured bread and durum …

Background As the global population continues to expand, increasing yield in bread wheat
