Abstract excerpt
The effects of environment on the content and composition of phytosterols were examined in 26 wheat genotypes grown at four locations in Europe during a single year and at one location over three consecutive years. Total phytosterol contents varied among the locations, whereas no effect was found for the harvesting year. A significant genetic variation was observed in total sterol contents (700-928 microg/g of...
