Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Selenium treatment did not significantly affect grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sulphur treatment did not significantly affect grain yield.
- Association Variety explained 86.05% of total protein concentration variation.
- Intervention effect Sulphur had no significant effect on total protein.
- Intervention effect Sulphur decreased gliadin content.
- Intervention effect Sulphur increased glutenin content.
- Intervention effect Sulphur shifted the gliadin-to-glutenin ratio.
- Association Dough strength and tenacity to extensibility ratio depended primarily on genotype.
- Intervention effect Sulphur caused variety-specific responses in dough properties.
- Intervention effect Increasing selenium significantly reduced phytic acid.
- Intervention effect Selenium reduced Phy:Se, Phy:Fe and Phy:Zn molar ratios.
- Association Sulphur treatment explained 82.5% of free asparagine variation.
- Intervention effect Sulphur fertilization reduced free asparagine in wheat grain.
- Intervention effect Selenium further reduced free asparagine, especially with adequate sulphur.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combined targeted selenium and sulphur foliar fertilization to improve wheat quality.
