Centromeres are essential for correct chromosome segregation during cell division and are determined by the presence of centromere-specific histone 3 (CENH3). Most of the diploid plant species, in which the structure and copy number of CENH3 genes have been determined, have this gene as a singleton; however, some cereal species in the tribe Triticeae have been found to have CENH3 in two variant...

Ethylene evolution from etiolated barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and rye (Secale cereale) seedlings during coleoptile growth followed a rhythmic pattern, with a period of about 16 h for barley and wheat and 12 h for rye seedlings. Leaf emergence disturbed the established rhythm of ethylene evolution.

An experiment was carried out to evaluate effects of temperature, pH, and incubation time on the stability of intrinsic phytases. The experiment was conducted as a 3*4*3*3 factorial arrangement with 3 feed ingredients (rye, wheat, and barley), 4 temperatures (T) (20, 38, 55, and 80°C), 3 pH levels (3, 5.5, and 8), and 3 incubation times (30, 60, and 120 min), with 2 replicates per treatment. Af...

BACKGROUND Chromatin organizational and topological plasticity, and its functions in gene expression regulation, have been strongly revealed by the analysis of nucleolar dominance in hybrids and polyploids where one parental set of ribosomal RNA (rDNA) genes that are clustered in nucleolar organizing regions (NORs), is rendered silent by epigenetic pathways and heterochromatization. However, in...

In the southeastern United States, a cotton-peanut rotation is attractive because of the high value and extensive planting of both crops in the region. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of cotton-peanut rotations, rye, and soil chemical treatments on management of plant-parasitic nematodes, thrips, and soilborne fungal diseases and on crop yield. Peanut-cotton-rye ro...

BACKGROUND Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an economically important crop, exhibiting unique features such as outstanding resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and high nutrient use efficiency. This species presents a challenge to geneticists and breeders due to its large genome containing a high proportion of repetitive sequences, self incompatibility, severe inbreeding depression and tissue cu...

now a day winter cover crops planting has been attended to reduce herbicide application. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of agriculture faculty, bu- ali sina, university, in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. the trial included of five treatments consists of no cover crop, rye, winter oilseed rape, barley and triticale. the re...

in order to determine the practical method to predict economic production of wheat in competition with feral rye by using regression models, a factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in dargaz. iran. experimental factors were included wheat cultivars (sayson, alvand, chamran and sepahan) and feral rye densities (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80...

this research was carried out for evaluation of competitive ability of some wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) of recommended wheat in dargaz region with common weed of feral rye (secale cereale). experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010-2011 growing season. experimental factors were included four wheat cultivars of says...

Secale cereale L. has been used worldwide as a source of genes for agronomic and resistance improvement. In this study, a stable wheat-rye substitution line and 3 primary 1RS.1BL translocation lines were selected from the progeny of the crossing of the Chinese local rye Aigan variety and wheat cultivar Mianyang11. The substitution and translocation lines were identified by molecular cytogenetic...
