Rye (Secale cereale L.) is recognized as the most cold-tolerant winter cereal species. However, little is known of the genetic control of cold hardiness and its interaction with vernalization requirement in rye. In the present study, the modes of inheritance of cold hardiness and vernalization requirement were investigated in crosses among one spring and two winter rye cultivars that represented a wide range of winter survivability. Differences in growth habit were found to be determined by a single dominant gene for the spring growth habit. Multiple alleles, or modifiers, for this major gene may also have been present. Cold hardiness was controlled by genes with mainly additive effects, but other factors may also have been involved. Cytoplasmic effects were not detected. Broad-sense heritability estimates were generally high (48–82%), indicating that selection for cold hardiness should be effective in breeding programs.Key words: Secale cereale L., dominance, additive gene action, heritability, cytoplasmic effects.

An inbred genotype of cultivated rye was found that produces unreduced gametes in a very regular fashion. In the cross progeny of this line with another inbred line, which did not show unreduced gametes, the inheritance of this phenomenon was studied. The formation of unreduced gametes appears to be a recessive trait controlled by more than one gene. Chiasma frequency in 4n PMCs is exactly twice that in 2n PMCs. In first metaphase of 4n PMCs only bivalents (no multivalents) were seen. The possible mechanism leading to unreduced gametes and its evolutionary implications are discussed. Key words: rye, unreduced gametes, polyploidy, genetic control, chiasma frequency.

Le changement des habitudes alimentaires au cours de ces dernières années a abouti à l’apparition des maladies dites de civilisation, parmi elles le diabète sucré. Des approches diétothérapeutiques privilégient la consommation des produits céréaliers sous la forme la plus complète possible. Ce travail a pour but de tester l’efficacité des régimes expérimentaux préparés à base des grains complets des deux céréales, le sorgho (Sorghum bicolor L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.), sur la correction de l’hyperglycémie et des marqueurs du stress oxydant associés au diabète chez le rat mâle Wistar. Les résultats montrent que les rats diabétiques, soumis au régime seigle pendant quatre semaines, présentent une diminution significative de la glycémie qui atteint les 53,95 % à la fin de l’expérimentation, ce qui fait que leur taux en glycémie se rapproche de celui des normoglycémiques. Le sorgho blanc présente, d’une part, une diminution significative de la peroxydation lipidique intracellulaire et, d’autre part, une augmentation de l’activité de la glutathion peroxydase, la glutathion réductase ainsi que la vitamine C. Ces approches méthodologiques peuvent, en améliorant la connaissance de l’importance des céréales (fibres alimentaires solubles et des polyphénols) dans l’évolution du diabète, aboutir à des recommandations et à une éducation nutritionnelle du diabétique.

The study describes sulfuric acid pretreatment of straw from Secale cereale L. (rye straw) to evaluate the effect of acid concentration and treatment time on the efficiency of biofuel production. The highest ethanol yield occurred after the enzyme treatment at a dose of 15 filter paper unit (FPU) per gram of rye straw (subjected to chemical hydrolysis with 2% sulfuric acid (SA) at 121 °C for 1 h) during 120 h. Anaerobic digestion of rye straw treated with 10% SA at 121 °C during 1 h allowed to obtain 347.42 L methane/kg volatile solids (VS). Most hydrogen was released during dark fermentation of rye straw after pretreatment of 2% SA, 121 °C, 1 h and 1% SA, 121 °C, 2 h—131.99 and 134.71 L hydrogen/kg VS, respectively. If the rye straw produced in the European Union were processed into methane, hydrogen, ethanol, the annual electricity production in 2018 could reach 9.87 TWh (terawatt-hours), 1.16 TWh, and 0.60 TWh, respectively.
