Some authors suggest that there is no clear relationship between grain size and DON levels (Lepschy, 1992). However, Perkowski (1998) reported that the fraction of smallest barley kernels contained more than 75% of the total DON. On the other hand, Chelkowsky and Perkowski (1992) determined...

Each branch terminates in an inflorescence which is a dense capitulum of florets (individual tubular corollas), commonly called a flower. Each floret flower protrudes from a conical head surrounded by layers of bracts. The leaves, which develop along the stalk and branches, and the outer layers of bracts usually are spiny, although the types of safflower grown for the production of dye or food coloring are spineless, or nearly so. The seeds of the safflower plant develop within the head in a concentric pattern and are oblate with a flattened top, usually white, and about the size of a barley kernel (Figure 1) (20). 

The greatest portion of the lipids in barley kernel is nonpolar lipids (67-78%). The compositions of lipids in the embryonic axis, bran endosperm, and hull fractions of hulless barley caryopses were determined by Price and Parsons (124) (Table 27). Neutral lipids were predominant in all fractions. Phospholipid content of barley hull was lower than that of the bran endosperm and embryonic axis. The hull fraction contained the highest glycolipid amount among the grain fractions.

III RIP accumulates in the barley kernel as an inactive precursor that, on germination, is processed into a two-chain RIP by removal of an internal peptide from the catalytic domain (Penmans et al., 2001). 

In this paper the induction of lipase activity during germination of barley was studied using a titrimetric assay, with which the substrate-dependent acidification is determined. Lipase activity was already present in the quiescent barley kernel and strongly increased (up to 80-fold) during germination at 25 °C. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in lipase activity in the embryo. Lipase activity in the embryoless grain was low and remained at a constant level. 

During steeping, the barley kernels absorb water and increase their volume by approximately 25%. The water rapidly penetrates through the hilum and husks. The germs hydrate rapidly, whereas the endosperm hydrates slowly. The absorbed water catalyzes respiration, synthesis of enzymes, and germination it also weakens the grain structure. 

After steeping, the soaked barley kernels germinate under special conditions so as to achieve the desired diastatic activity, cell division, and the development of the rootlets and coleoptiles or acrospires. The process is nsnaUy carried ont on malting beds placed inside special rooms with strict tanperature and relative hnmidity controls. This process lasts 4 to 6 days and is greatly affected by the malting honse temperature. The germination rate is controlled according to the initial moisture.
