The phrase "a durum" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a type of wheat, specifically durum wheat, which is often used to make pasta and other products.
Example: "The recipe calls for a durum flour to achieve the perfect texture for the pasta."
Alternatives: "a type of durum wheat" or "a durum grain".
After that, they'll sample pickled green plums; a kale soup hailing from the Black Sea region; fried filets of sea bass; a durum, or wrap sandwich, of spicy grilled meat; a mouthwatering array of baklava; stewed quince; still more Turkish coffee and tavuk gogsu, or chicken-breast pudding.
The marker cfd48 reported by Pozniak et al. [ 46] in a durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf).
To isolate a wheat LKR/SDH gene, a durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) tetraploid 5× BAC library was screened.
To provide a global study of transcriptome changes in response to drought stress, a durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.
Somers et al. (2006) crossed an accession of T. carthalicum, showing a moderate Type II resistance to FHB, with a durum wheat cultivar 'Strongfield' to introduce new QTL into a cultivated background.
Using a PCR-based approach Cenci et al.[ 26] identified and mapped clones from a durum wheat BAC library thought to contain genes coding for important enzymes involved in carotenogenesis.
The large majority of the gamma-gliadin sequences available in Genbank are from tetraploid Triticum durum (A and B genomes) and hexaploid Triticum aestivum (A, B and D genomes), diploid Triticum monococcum (A genome) and diploid Aegilops species with S and D genomes (the B genome is closely related to the S genome of Aegilops speltoides, [ 11, 12]).
In this study we provide a comprehensive overview of cell wall composition of spikes at anthesis, a key developmental stage particularly susceptible to Fusarium infection, from a resistant common wheat and a susceptible durum wheat genotypes.
The objective of our research is to identify potential cell wall biochemical traits linked to Fusariosis resistance to be transferred from a resistant common wheat to a susceptible durum wheat line.
The T. durum A and B genomes were covered in their near totality based on the reference SSR hexaploid wheat map.
This technique has been widely used to transfer desirable traits from wild to cultivated species [ 1- 3] and to increase the genetic variation of the species by developing new synthetic hexaploid wheats [ 4- 6] or using Triticum urartu (donor of the A genome) for durum wheat breeding [ 7].
