Triticum sativum

Several observations indicate the formation of starch-protein complexes. For instance, starch precipitates serum proteins of rabbit, horse, sheep, and chicken.962 This observation seemingly indicates that the complexation has a rather universal character. On the other hand, the type of bonding of proteins from Triticum durum and Triticum sativum is specific for each of these varieties.963 The observed effects may not be associated with complex formation, but they can instead be attributed to the destruction of micelles by dehydration, followed by agglomeration.964 As in the case of starch complexes with sugars, the effect of proteins and cellulose derivatives on starch gelation can be assumed to be the result of the competition for water in solution. As a consequence, swelling is perturbed.965-968... 

First, it is interesting to note that a deficiency or excess of one element does not directly induce a particular symptom in cultivated or wild plants. In this respect, it is necessary to examine the macro, trace and ultratrace element transfer from the different polluted and unpolluted soils into the plant. Indicator plants must be easy to identify, grown worldwide, and indicate the mineral transfer to the food chain. On cultivated soils in many parts of the world, these conditions are met by wheat Triticum sativum), rye Secale cereale), and red clover Trifolium pratense sativum) of the field and meadow varieties (TrifoUum pratense spontaneum). The green plants were harvested when the rye was in blossom, the wheat shooting, the field red clover in bud, and the meadow red clover in blossom.

The first reaction of isoprenoid biosynthesis that is specific for the carotenoids is the head-to-head condensation of two molecules of GGPP into phytoene, via the intermediate prephytoene pyrophosphate (PPPP Figure 4.2). The conversion of PPPP into phytoene involves the loss of a hydrogen atom to yield, in plants, the 15-Z isomer. This reaction has been demonstrated in several cell extracts, such as tomato plastids," chloroplasts of Triticum sativum, and plastids of Capsicum annuum," The alternative, all-F isomer of phytoene is not found in higher plants. 

Only four plant species, i.e., Vicia faba, Allium cepa, Pisum sativum and Triticum turgidum, responded adequately to the Feulgen procedure, and were considered for use in the successive experiments. These species, together with the corresponding mutagenic compounds used and the mutagenicity tests adopted (see below in Sect. 2.4.) are listed in Table 4.

Seeds from maize (Zea mays L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), pea Pisum sativum L.) and soybean Glycine max L. Merr.) were obtained from Chinese Agricultural University and surface-sterilized by soaking in a mixture of H2O2 (3%) and CaS04 (saturated) for 30 min. 

There are five classes of fructans inulin, levan, mixed levan, inulin neoseries, and levan neoseries [26]. Inulin is a linear polysaccharide composed of (2-l)-P-D-fructosyl units (Figure 2.5a). Levan is a linear polysaccharide composed of (2-6)-P-D-fructosyl units (Figure 2.5b). Mixed levan is a branched polysaccharide composed of (2-1) and (2-6)-P-D-fructosyl units. Inulin neoseries is a linear polysaccharide composed of two inulin polymers that are connected together by a sucrose molecule. Levan neoseries is a linear polysaccharide composed of two levan polymers linked together by the glucose unit of the sucrose molecule. The type of fructan produced varies with plant species. For example, plants such as chicory (Cichorium intybus) and Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) in the Asteraceae family produce inulin. Plants in the Liliaceae family such as garlic (Allium sativum) produce inulin neoseries. Plants in the Poaceae family such as wheat (Triticum spp.), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and oats (Avena sativa) produce mixed levan or levan neoseries.
