Wheat is one of the most economically important cereals for Department Boyacá; however, cultivated area sees low yields, phytosanitary problems, and a lack genetic materials with desirable agronomic characteristics. The present study aimed to morphoagronomically characterize 49 accessions from FENALCE germplasm bank using morphological yield descriptors multivariate cluster analyses. variables ...

The movement of water into harvest-ripe grains of dormant and non-dormant genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was investigated using Magnetic Resonance Micro-Imaging (MRMI). Images of virtual sections, both longitudinal and transverse, throughout the grain were collected at intervals after the start of imbibition and used to reconstruct a picture of water location within the different gra...

Starch grain, phytolith and cereal bran fragments were analyzed in order to identify the food remains including cakes, dumplings, as well as porridge unearthed at the Astana Cemeteries in Turpan of Xinjiang, China. The results suggest that the cakes were made from Triticum aestivum while the dumplings were made from Triticum aestivum, along with Setaria italica. The ingredients of the porridge ...

wheat (triticum aestivum l.) is a major staple food crop for more than one third of the world population and is the main staple food of asia. over 800 million hectares of land throughout the world are salt affected. salinity is a major obstacle to food production because it substantially reduces the average yield of major crops. this study was conducted to evaluate the response of 24 cultivars ...

Exposure of six wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and one rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivar to 40% relative humidity for 24 hours induced the same degree of freezing tolerance in seedling epicotyls as did cold conditioning for 4 weeks at 2 degrees C.Frost hardiness varietal relationships were the same in desiccation-stressed and cold-hardened seedlings. Drought stress could, therefore, be used as a r...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/faba bean (Vicia faba L.) intercropping shows significant overyielding and high nitrogen (N)-use efficiency, but the dynamics of plant interactions have rarely been estimated. The objective of the present study was to investigate the temporal dynamics of competitive N acquisition between intercropped wheat and faba bean with the logistic model. Wheat and faba bean w...
