Nutritional quality of einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L.) kernels
No full textEinkorn (Triticum monococcum L.) is a hulled wheat, widely cropped and eaten in prehistoric times but largely neglected today. Current trends towards low-impact and sustainable agriculture as well as an increase in the consumption of
healthy and functional food suggest that it may still play a role in human consumption. Therefore, einkorn potential for human consumption was assessed by analysing the chemical composition of several T. monococcum accessions, as
well as T. turgidum and T. aestivum controls, grown at S. Angelo Lodigiano, Italy.
A broad within-einkorn variation for all the traits analysed was observed. Compared to the controls, on average einkorn seeds had high protein content (18.2 ± 1.48%), high ash content (2.35 ± 0.165%), low total starch (65.5 ± 2.56%) and average amylose (25.7 ± 1.23% of total starch). Carotenoids and tocols (lipophilic antioxidants) were more concentrated in T. monococcum than in T. turgidum and T. aestivum: carotenoids, mostly lutein, averaged 8.4 ± 1.40 mg/kg, and several accessions showed significant amounts of carotenes (above 25% of total carotenoids); tocols, mainly btocotrienol, averaged 78.0 ± 8.73 mg/kg dm. Einkorn had also high contents in fructan (1.90 ± 0.19 g/100 g) and
microelements: Zn (69 ± 9 mg/kg), Fe (49 ± 4 mg/kg), Mn (43 ± 4 mg/kg) and Cu (8 ± 0.4 mg/kg). Furthermore, lipid content was abundant (4.2 ± 0.40 g/100g) and 14 compounds were identified, mainly linoleic (50.8%) and oleic (24.8%)
acids; 80.6% of total fatty acids were unsaturated.
The analysis of several chemical parameters across a representative sample of T. monococcum, T. turgidum and T.
aestivum confirmed the superior nutritional value of einkorn
Space-limited mitosis in the Glazier–Graner–Hogeweg Model
No full textThe <i>Glazier–Graner–Hogeweg</i> (GGH) model is a cellular automata framework for representing the time evolution of cellular systems, appealing because unlike many other individual-cell-based models it dynamically simulates changes in cell shape and size. Proliferation has seen some implementation into this modelling framework, but without consensus in the literature as to how this behaviour is best represented. Additionally, the majority of published GGH model implementations which feature proliferation do so in order to simulate a certain biological situation where mitosis is important, but without analysis of how these proliferation routines operate on a fundamental level. Here, a method of proliferation for the GGH model which uses separate cell phenotypes to differentiate cells which have entered or just left the mitotic phase of the cell cycle is presented and demonstrated to correctly predict logistic growth on a macroscopic scale (in accordance with experimental evidence). Comparisons between model simulations and the generalised logistic growth model provide an interpretation of the latter’s ‘shape parameter’, and the proliferation routine used here is shown to offer the modeller somewhat predictable control over the proliferation rate, important for ensuring temporal consistency between different cellular behaviours in the model. All results are found to be insensitive to the inclusion of active cell motility. The implications of these simulated proliferation assays towards problems in cell biology are also discussed
Towards the construction of an interspecific introgression line library in einkorn using Triticum urartu
No full textAmong Triticum species two different Au and Am genomes derived from Triticum urartu and Triticum monococcum,
respectively, were recognized. Au and Am genomes share similar chromosomal organization, notwithstanding, significant
molecular divergences have been assessed using sequence data and AFLP markers, supporting chimeric Au /Am
chromosomes as a tool to dissect their genetic differences.
Interspecific introgression line (IL) libraries have been used extensively in plants as their power to detect QTLs with small
effects is higher compared to mapping populations having whole genome fragments segregating. In addition,
interspecific ILs are a valuable tool for adding foreign DNA in "elite" varieties to improve their agronomic traits. Sterility as
well as low levels of viability can affect the development of intespecific ILs despite that, they were successfully obtained
for tomato, watermelon and barley.
Offsprings obtained from crosses between T. urartu and T. monococcum were reported to be sterile, but rare fertile F1
plants were obtained by crossing the "elite" einkorn accession L118 with T. urartu ID388. From these fertile genotypes,
ILs were developed backcrossing F1 hybrid lines for several times with T. monococcum L118 as recurrent parent.
Hundreds of mapped codominant markers in einkorn are currently used to characterize the exotic DNA fragment in each
IL and to construct a panel of ILs carrying overlapping chromosome fragments of T. urartu.
As T. monococcum L118 and T. urartu ID388 differ in the grain content of Zn, Ca, carotenoids, tocols as well as in other
important agronomic traits, the panel of ILs will be a valuable tool to gain insights on the key loci controlling micronutrient
content of kernel in diploid wheats.
The phenotyping of the IL panel for some important traits associated with micronutrient content in kernel as well as
statistical analyses to identify contingent or transgressive QTLs are currently underway
