Le varietà di grano duro per le semine 2014: Sicilia.
2014
La rete di prove di confronto varietale di grano duro, condotta in Siclia con il coordinamento del CRA-ACM, ha previsto nell’annata 2013-2014 l’allestimento di 4 campi in differenti ambienti: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, Cammarata e S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento). Fra le sette varietà al primo anno di valutazione, emergono le performance di Antalis, che ha manifestato ottima capacità produttiva, precocita’ di spigatura, buone caratteristiche merceologiche, contenuto proteico medio e buona resistenza alle malattie.
Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis in Durum Wheat Pasta by Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Quadrupole Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry.
2017
A simple and rapid multi-mycotoxin method for the determination of 17 mycotoxins simultaneously is described in the present survey on durum and soft wheat pasta samples. Mycotoxins included in the study were those mainly reported in cereal samples: ochratoxin-A (OTA), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), zearalenone (ZON), deoxynivalenol (DON), 3-and 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3-AcDON and 15-AcDON), nivalenol (NIV), neosolaniol (NEO), fusarenon-X, (FUS-X), T-2 toxin (T-2) and HT-2 toxin (HT-2), fumonisin B1 and B2 (FB1 and FB2), and four emerging mycotoxins: three enniatins (ENA, ENA1, and ENB), and beauvericin (BEA). Twenty-nine samples were analyzed to provide an overview on…
Identification and characterization of durum wheat microRNAs in leaf and root tissues.
2017
MicroRNAs are a class of post-transcriptional regulators of plant developmental and physiological processes and responses to environmental stresses. Here, we present the study regarding the annotation and characterization of MIR genes conducted in durum wheat. We characterized the miRNAome of leaf and root tissues at tillering stage under two environmental conditions: irrigated with 100% (control) and 55% of evapotranspiration (early water stress). In total, 90 microRNAs were identified, of which 32 were classified as putative novel and species-specific miRNAs. In addition, seven microRNA homeologous groups were identified in each of the two genomes of the tetraploid durum wheat. Differenti…
Grano duro 2019: Italia divisa in due per rese e qualità. Dettaglio regionale dei risultati 2019: Sicilia.
2019
Nell’annata agraria 2018-2019 la Rete nazionale di valutazione delle varietà di frumento duro, coordinata dal CREA, ha previsto l’allestimento in Sicilia di quattro campi sperimentali, realizzati nei seguenti ambienti: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento) e Caltagirone (Catania). Irisultati di quest’annata agraria hanno mostrato risposte produttive interessanti di diverse nuove varietà che, al primo anno di valutazione nella Rete nazionale, si affacciano sul mercato sementiero del frumento duro. Tali risultati andranno verificati nelle successive stagioni colturali.
Conservation tillage in a semiarid Mediterranean environment: results of 20 years of research
2014
Conservation tillage techniques are becoming increasingly popular worldwide as they have the potential to generate environmental, agronomic, and economic benefits. In Mediterranean areas, studies performed on the effects of conservation tillage [in comparison with the conventional tillage technique (CT)] on grain yield of cereal crops have reported contradictory results as well as considerable year-to-year variation, demonstrating how the impact of different soil tillage techniques on crop productivity is strongly site-specific. The present paper summarises the main results from a set of experiments carried out in Sicily during the last 20 years in which we compared no tillage (NT) to CT in…
Le varietà di grano duro per le semine 2020: Sicilia
2020
Nonostante le difficoltà operative dovute alla pandemia da Covid-19, anche nel corso del 2019-20 sono state condotte in Sicilia le prove di confronto varietale di frumento duro, allestite in 5 località della Sicilia: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento), Caltagirone (Catania) e Ciminna (Palermo). La sperimentazione ha riguardato 30 varietà, di cui 5 al primo anno di valutazione, 9 cultivar al secondo anno di prova e 16 genotipi testati da oltre due anni. La resa media dell’areale siciliano è stata pari a 6,11 t/ha e i risultati produttivi registrati nei diversi ambienti di prova appaiono sensibilmente influenzati dall’andamento termo-pluviometrico. Despite the dif…
Amino acid profile of four varieties of durum wheat grown in Sicily
2015
The major use of durum wheat is for pasta products, particularly in the European and North American countries, whereas in other areas (Middle East and North Africa) also it is used as couscous and for various types of bread. The durum wheat is therefore a staple food in the Mediterranean and is one of the commodities that characterize the dietary pattern of the Mediterranean diet. During the year 2012 were made in Ciminna (Palermo) in Sicily, four fields of experimental cultivation using four different varieties of durum wheat cultivated in Sicily: Simeto, Iride, Duilio and Saragolla. For each variety were set up two different kinds of cultivation tecniques, in order to verify the influence…
Microbial dynamics in durum wheat kernels during aging
2020
In the present work the microbial dynamics in wheat kernels were evaluated over time. The main aim of this research was to study the resistance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts associated to unprocessed cereals used for bread making during long term conservation. To this purpose four Triticum durum Desf. genotypes including two modern varieties (Claudio and Simeto) and two Sicilian wheat landraces (Russello and Timilia) were analysed by a combined culture-independent and -dependent microbiological approach after one, two or three years from cultivation and threshing. DNA based MiSeq Illumina technology was applied to reveal the entire bacterial composition of all semolina samples. T…
A novel alpha-amylase-lipase formulation as anti-staling agent in durum wheat bread
2016
The aim of this work has been to evaluate the anti-staling effect exerted by a novel α-amylase-lipase enzyme formulation on durum wheat bread, in comparison with four different commercial amylase preparations and with control without added enzymes. Bread-making trials were carried out at industrial level. Sliced bread, packed under modified atmosphere, was analyzed for texture profile, moisture content, and water activity during 90 days. Crumb sections were submitted to environmental scanning electron microscopy at the end of the storage period. The α-amylase-lipase enzyme preparation showed synergistic interactions in preventing staling. In particular, bread added of these two enzymes in m…
