Distribution of (1-3)(1-4)-β-d-glucans in kernels of selected cultivars of naked and hulled barley

Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Mixed Linkage (1,3;1,4)-β-Glucan and Starch Contents in Rice Whole Grain

“…The MLG content was reported to account for 20% of the total dietary fiber content in wheat (Prasadi and Joye, 2020 ). Wirkijowska et al ( 2012 ) reported that the content of (1–3) (1–4)-β- d -glucans in barley kernel ranged between 4.04 and 5.71% of dry matter, and Garcia-Gimenez et al ( 2019 ) expressed that barley has a considerably higher MLG content (4–10%) compared with wheat (1%) or rice (<0.06%), although (Fincher, 2009a ) reported that (1–3) (1–4)-β- d -glucans constitute up to 70% of starchy endosperm in barley. In all these reports, the amount of MLG was measured in a few samples/accessions.…”

The effect of the changed amylose and amylopectin ratio on the selected qualitative parameters in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain

“…Our results are in accordance with the claim that barley genotypes with altered ratio of the main starch polysaccharides (amylose and amylopectin) tend to higher BG contents in the grain (FAUSTNAUGHT et al, 1996, HANG et al, 2007BAIK & ULLRICH, 2008 and others). Numerous studies have also found a higher content of BG in hull-less barley compared to hulled barley (BHATTY, 1999;IZYDORCZYK et al, 2000;WIRKIJOWSKA et al, 2012).…”

Study of Dynamic Accumulation in β-D-Glucan in Oat (Avena sativa L.) during Plant Development

“…The accumulation of β-D-glucan is observed in the walls of endosperm cells of the developing grain and in the surrounding maternal tissues [18,19], although it has also been found in vegetative organs of the plant, namely, in the root, coleoptile, stem and leaf [20,21]. The rate of β-D-glucan accumulation was found to be higher in the initial phase of grain development and reached a maximum of about 25 days after the development of flower organs [22].…”
