Uptake kinetics and distribution of flupyrimin by rice (Oryza sativa L.): Effects of subcellular fractionation and soil factors by Xugen Shi, Min Wang, Zhenyu Jiang, Ruqiang Cui, Baotong Li, Xianpeng Zhang, Lianhu Zhang, Duantao Cao

“…The hydroponic experiment indicated that flupyrimin was easily taken up by rice roots via a symplastic passive diffusion process and was mainly distributed in the cell soluble fractions (50.6 %－88.0 %). Compared with transportation from the roots to the stems, flupyrimin was ultimately transported from the stems to the leaves with a greater translocation factor (TF) (TFLeave/Stem = 27.8 > TFStem/Root = 3.1). …”

Problems and possibilities of studying malting quality in barley using molecular genetic approaches by N. V. Trubacheeva, L. A. Pershina

“…The main parameters of malting quality (artificially germinated and dried barley grains) are malt extract, diastatic power, Kolbach index, viscosity, grain protein, wort β-glucan, free amino nitrogen, and soluble protein content. Most of these components are under the control of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and are affected by environmental conditions, which complicates their study and precise localization. …”
