Effect of barley chromosomes on the β-glucan content of wheat
2020-03-01
Abstract excerpt
In wheat, β-glucan (BG) content represents an important component of dietary fibre with important health benefit. Among cereals, barley, oats and rye have the highest BG content in the grain (from 3 to 10%), while bread and durum wheat contain percentages lower than 1%.
