No Brasil, a produção nacional de cevada não atende à demanda interna, sendo a região Sul a principal produtora. O Cerrado apresenta grande potencial para o cultivo desse cereal, entretanto, deve ser combinado com uma boa a adubação e, devido à baixa disponibilidade de informações e falta de recomendação de adubação fosfatada para a região, este tr...
Pearl millet is largely cultivated in Brazil, but poorly known as food. From their grains, bran can be extracted which a great source of minerals, phitochemicals (bioactives) and dietraty fiber. This work investigated the effect of debraning time on starch content and paste properties. Millet grain debranning for 20 min showed the highest percentag...

Crop models are the primary means by which agricultural scientists assess climate change impacts on crop production. Site-based and high-quality weather and climate data is essential for agronomically and physiologically sound crop simulations under historical and future climate scenarios. Here, we describe a bias-corrected dataset of daily agro-me...

Background Mutants have had a fundamental impact upon scientific and applied genetics. They have paved the way for the molecular and genomic era, and most of today’s crop plants are derived from breeding programs involving mutagenic treatments. Results Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most widely grown cereals in the world and has a long ...

Background Interspecific hybridisation is a powerful tool for increasing genetic diversity in plant breeding programmes. Hexaploid wheat ( Triticum aestivum , 2 n = 42) × barley ( Hordeum vulgare , 2 n = 14) intergeneric hybrids can contribute to the transfer of agronomically useful traits by creating chromosome addition or translocation lines as w...
Understanding crop domestication provides a basis for ongoing genetic improvement of crops, especially in the utilization of wild crop relatives as a source of new variation and may guide the domestication of new crops. The Asia Pacific region is home to most of the world's human population and is a region in which many important crops were domesti...

Cereal is an essential source of calories and protein for the global population. Accurately predicting cereal quality before harvest is highly desirable in order to optimise management for farmers, grading harvest and categorised storage for enterprises, future trading prices, and policy planning. The use of remote sensing data with extensive spati...

Background Wheat grains are susceptible to mycotoxins, toxic natural secondary metabolites generated by certain fungi on agricultural produce in the field during growth, harvest, transportation, or storage. Therefore, wheat flour can be contaminated with mycotoxins, which seriously threaten human health. Methods A rapid method for screening seven m...
