Drought is the main factor limiting cereal production in the Mediterranean basin and Climate Change will exacerbate its effects. Among the strategies …

We studied in two locations if fungal strains isolated from roots of a wild grass adapted to nutrient-poor soils could improve the field performance of tri

Boortmalt présente des nouveaux malts de Tritordeum, une nouvelle céréale hybride orge blé, issues de plusieurs années de recherches avec Vivagran

The lipid compositions of wheat, triticale, rye, and tritordeum straws were thoroughly analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The major lipophilic compounds identified included n-fatty acids (1185–3538 mg/kg), β-diketones (891–2043 mg/kg), steroid compounds (1358–1954 mg/kg), high molecular-weight esters (444–1560 mg/kg), and n-fatty alcohols (402–1825 mg/kg). Additionally, smaller amounts of n-alkanes (140–574 mg/kg), phytol and phytyl esters (106–358 mg/kg), 2-hydroxyfatty acids (77–155 mg/kg), acylglycerides (41–277 mg/kg), tocopherols and tocopheryl esters (21–67 mg/kg), and n-aldehydes (10–23 mg/kg) were detected. The abundance and wide diversity of lipophilic compounds present in these agricultural residues highlight their great potential as a rich source of valuable phytochemicals for various industrial applications, positioning cereal straws as highly attractive feedstocks in the context of the lignocellulosic biorefinery.

El tritordeum tiene potencial, pero su futuro depende del éxito en mejorar su rendimiento por parte de los criadores.

Tritordeum—a cross between wild barley and durum wheat—is generating a buzz in baking, brewing, and distilling, says Vivagran.
