Effect of water stress on susceptibility of barley to aphids. Barley seedlings were subjected to water stress. These plants accumulated among other compounds proline and glycine-betaine (Table IV). Also, the more stressed plants were the most susceptible to aphids. The cultivar used in this experiment lacked gramine. However, when a gramine-containing cultivar was used gramine concentration was not affected by water stress. 

Barley seeds (cv F. Union) were germinated at 25°C and after 6 days were subjected to water stress. Four days later, plants were analyzed for proline and betaine content and the water potential of the leaves was measured. At this time, plants were infested with aphids and the insects were counted six days later. 

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disease, triggered in genetically susceptible individuals by ingested gluten from wheat, rye, barley, and other closely related cereal grains. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet for life. This paper presents a systematic review of the scientific literature on the safety of pure oats for individuals with celiac disease, which historically has been subject to debate. 

Kilmartin et al. (2006) 7 CD subjects Immune response of gliadin-reactive mucosal T cell lines to wheat, barley, rye, and oat-related cereals All 5 T cell lines demonstrated immunoreactivity to protein fractions from 4 related cereals Some cell lines reactivity to wheat, barley, and rye was evident only when cereal fractions were pretreated with tTG Confirms similar T cell antigenic reactivity of 4 related cereals... 

Figure 3. Distribution of C in plant tissues as a function of solubility. Barley, corn, cotton, peanut cell cultures, and soybeans were treated with V C] PCNB for 3 days. Lake water rich in blue green algae was treated for 9 h. Peanut plants were treated for 2 days and subjected to a 2-day post-treatment incubation.

Lung function. Exposure of six men to barley dust for 2 days decreased ventilatory capacity. Five volunteers not previously exposed to barley dust, when exposed to the dust for 2 hours, decreased the ventilatory capacity ranging from 200 mL to 800 mL, with recovery taking up to 72 hours. All of the subjects had decreases in flow at 50% vital capacity hut little or no change in flow at 75% vital capacity. In three subjects, there was a drop in specific conductance...

At Barley Canyon, budworm were placed on trees after all had burst bud. Consequently, most budworm were subjected to tissues that had developed for up to 10 days and which possessed more complete defensive systems. Therefore, the correlation we observed with budburst reflected the length of time the foliage was allowed to mature defensively before the budworm feeding occurred. It did not reflect an escape In time component as the Montana study did where natural populations were studied. 

The first unequivocal demonstration that environmental agents could produce mutations came with the work of H. J. Muller293 that showed that x rays are mutagenic in Drosophila. L. J. Stadler1 31 independently discovered x-ray mutagenesis in barley. In his earliest writings on this subject,...
