Amylase–Trypsin Inhibitors in Wheat and Other Cereals as Potential Activators of the Effects of Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity
2018
Nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a gluten-related gastrointestinal disorder distinct from celiac disease (CD) and gluten allergy that is not easy to diagnose due to the lack of biomarkers. It is characterized by intestinal symptoms and extraintestinal manifestations with the consumption of gluten-containing foods. In contrast to CD, NCGS patients do not present a genetic predisposition or intestinal villi atrophy. Recent studies question the proinflammatory triggering activity of α-gliadin fraction contained in wheat, since it has been demonstrated that the amylase-trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) exert a strong activating effect on the innate immune response. We aimed to analyze the role of…
Seed germination under osmotic stress across different wild populations of mountain rye (Secale strictum (C.Presl) C.Presl))
2020
The selection of resilient cultivars could help stem the losses in forage production due to a changing climate. Secale strictum is a wild grass with interesting potential as a forage crop. We studied the germination requirements of six wild S. strictum populations, representative of the whole species distribution range in Italy and occurring under different osmotic conditions (0 MPa, −0.8 MPa, −1.0 MPa, −1.2 MPa, −1.4 MPa and −1.6 MPa). Our aim was to find beneficial seed and germination traits for the possible use of this species as a crop. Different accessions of domesticated Secale cereale and ×Triticosecale were used as comparison. Some populations of S. strictum were drought tolerant a…
The impact of wood-derived biochar on the survival of Trichoderma spp. and growth of Secale cereale L. in sandy soil
2018
The interrelations between biochar (BC) and soil microbiota remain unclear. Addressing this will be important for understanding how BC affects soil properties and plant growth. Here, we tested the ...
Alkylresorcinol Metabolites in Urine and Plasma as Potential Biomarkers of Rye and Wheat Fiber Consumption in Prostate Cancer Patients and Controls
2015
Alkylresorcinols (ARs) are phytochemicals mainly associated with rye/wheat bran. Plasma ARs and their plasma and urine metabolites are considered as biomarkers for whole-grain rye/wheat intake. However ARs metabolite day and night variations have not been studied in prostate cancer patients yet. We investigated ARs metabolites 3, 5-dihydroxy-benzoic acid (DHBA), and 3-(3, 5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid (DHPPA) in urine and plasma in prostate cancer patients and in control group. DHPPA in 12-h overnight urine correlated with the intake of rye bread and bread fiber across short time periods (3 days). Plasma DHPPA concentration was significantly greater in the prostate cancer group than i…
The effects of woodchip- and straw-derived biochars on the persistence of the herbicide 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) in soils
2014
Sorption and degradation are the primary processes controlling the efficacy and runoff contamination risk of agrochemicals. This study assessed the influence of two biochars, made from woodchips and straw at a pyrolysis temperature of 725°C and applied to a loamy sand and a sandy soil in the concentration of 5.3 g 100 g(-1) sandy soil and 4.1 g 100 g(-1) loamy sand soil, or 53 t ha(-1) for both soil types, on degradation of the herbicide 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). Soils were spiked with 50 mg MCPA kg(-1) soil. In the sandy soil, significantly more MCPA remained after 100 days if amended with straw-derived biochar in comparison to wood-derived biochar. Both biochars types si…
The Synapse-Like Interaction between Chloroplast, dictyosome, and Other Cell Compartments during Increased Ethylene Production in Leaves of Rye (Seca…
2000
Rye (Secale cereale L.) plants were treated with an ethylene releaser ethephon (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) in concentration of 4×10−2 M. We studied electron microscopically, if and how chloroplasts interact with well-documented sites of ethylene production/binding, i.e., with endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes, mitochondria, plasma membrane, and tonoplast. During the sharp increase of ethylene synthesis in mesophyll cells of rye leaves, the direct local continguity of chloroplast envelope or envelope protrusions with the above mentioned cell compartments was typical. Moreover, a large number and diversity of versatile chloroplast-dictyosome associations were conspicuous, in which both th…
Vermicompost from municipal sewage sludge affects growth and mineral nutrition of winter rye (Secale cereale) plants
2015
ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to investigate sewage sludge vermicompost application effects on growth and mineral nutrition of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) plants as compared to two initial levels of mineral nutrient availability, pure sand and sand enriched with inorganic nutrients at the optimal level. Addition of sewage sludge vermicompost significantly inhibited rye seed germination at 20 to 50% sand substitution independently on mineral nutrient supplement. Growth inhibition was evident at early stages of plant development. However, at the later stages, sewage sludge vermicompost acted both as mineral fertilizer and plant growth-promoting agent. Significant stimulation of mineral …
Testing safety of germinated rye sourdough in a celiac disease model based on the adoptive transfer of prolamin-primed memory T cells into lymphopeni…
2014
The current treatment for celiac disease is strict gluten-free diet. Technical processing may render gluten-containing foods safe for consumption by celiac patients, but so far in vivo safety testing can only be performed on patients. We modified a celiac disease mouse model to test antigenicity and inflammatory effects of germinated rye sourdough, a food product characterized by extensive prolamin hydrolysis. Lymphopenic Rag1−/− or nude mice were injected with splenic CD4+CD62L−CD44high-memory T cells from gliadin- or secalin-immunized wild-type donor mice. We found that: 1) Rag1−/− recipients challenged with wheat or rye gluten lost more body weight and developed more severe histological…
Rye doubled haploids : production and use in mapping studies
2009
Teija Tenhola-Roininen kehitti väitöskirjatyössään rukiin jalostusta helpottavia työkaluja rukiin laadun parantamiseksi ja suomalaisiin olosuhteisiin sopeutuneiden uusien ruislajikkeiden kehittämiseksi. Näiden työkalujen, ns. DNA-merkkien avulla voidaan valita lyhytkortisia ja korkean sakoluvun omaavia eli tähkäidännänkestäviä rukiita jalostusaineistosta.Rukiinviljely on vähentynyt Suomessa erityisesti huonojen satojen ja alentuneiden EU-tukien myötä. Tästä syystä yli puolet rukiista tuodaan ulkomailta. Suurin osa suomalaisessa ruisleivässä käytettävästä ruisjauhosta on siis ulkomaista alkuperää.Viljelijöille ruis on riskialtis vilja, koska sen laatu riippuu sääolosuhteista. Syksyllä kylvet…
Nātrija un kālija sāļu salīdzinošā ietekme uz dažādu sugu augu augšanu un jonu uzkrāšanos
2019
Sāļums ir viens no abiotiskajiem faktoriem, kam ir būtiska ietekme uz jūras piekrastes, sāls mitrāju, pasaules sauso reģionu augu augšanu un attīstību. Augu sugām, kas dabiski izplatījušās biotopos ar augstu vides sāļumu, raksturīga ievērojami lielāka sāls izturība nekā sugām, kas izplatījušās biotopos ar zemu sāļu koncentrāciju, tai skaitā kultūraugiem. NaCl ir izplatītākais sāļu veids, tāpēc tā ietekme uz augiem tiek visvairāk pētīta. Par citu sāļu veidu ietekmi un to salīdzinājumu ar NaCl ir samērā neliels skaits pētījumu. Uzskata, ka Na+ izraisītais osmotiskais stress, jonu toksiskums un jonu disbalanss izraisa dažādu fizioloģisko procesu neoptimālu norisi augā, kā rezultātā novēro sāļu…
