Wheat is the primary cereal grain used for food in most Western countries, while rice provides about half the food calories for up to half of the world's population.
Wheat is the primary cereal grain with about three-quarters of grain products made of wheat flour and many dishes use indigenous ingredients, such as turkey, venison, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, squash, and maple syrup which were consumed by Native Americans and early European settlers.
Zimmermann and Werr (2007) reported that even at very early stages of monocot embryogenesis the cell division patterns are variable and unpredictable, further they report that primary root of cereals is formed endogenously deep inside the embryo which is a major difference with the dicots.
Grain weevils Sitophilus spp. (Dryophthoridae, Curculionoidea) are well-known as major primary pests of stored cereal grains causing damage and rendering the grain more susceptible to attack by secondary insect pests such as Tribolium.
Starch is the primary component that makes cereal crops economically and commercially important.
This study has identified that a series of mutations in the Arabidopsis homoserine kinase gene DMR1 confers resistance in silique tissue to the primary causal agents of cereal FEB disease, a source of crop yield losses and grain contamination.
In a survey done by a research firm hired by General Mills, nearly half of those questioned thought bread was their primary source of whole grain, not cereal.
In contrast, the standardized products purchased during "primary shopping" (beverages, dairy, cereals, etc).
The gap between regional supply and demand in 2000, for meat as well as for cropland products, was assumed to be balanced by international trade: for example, regions where the demand for primary products (e.g., cereals) exceeded regional supply were assumed to import; regions, where biomass supply was larger than regional demand were assumed to export.
In keeping with Canadian tradition [ 8], the primary first food is infant cereal (Table 4) and parents are not waiting until six months to start solids.
All grains ended at a slight net decline, assisted by the rush of cereals to the primary markets, which last week for the third successive week broke records.
