in other to evaluate grain yield, rate and effective grain filling period of four barley (hordeum vulgaris l.) cultivars in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design was conducted in the islamic azad university of ardabil research station in 2009. the treatments applied were: three levels of different planting dates (september, 23; october, 16 ...

The pottery vessels from the Mijiaya site reveal, to our knowledge, the first direct evidence of in situ beer making in China, based on the analyses of starch, phytolith, and chemical residues. Our data reveal a surprising beer recipe in which broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), and tubers were fermented together. The results indicate...

We present the complete genome sequence of Luteibacter rhizovicinus type strain LJ96T, a yellow-pigmented gammaproteobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of barley (Hordeum vulgare) Johansen et al. (2005) , a species with numerous potential applications. The genome sequence was deposited to NCBI GenBank with the accession number CP017480.

The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Homoptera: Aphididae), has been a major economic pest of small grains in the western United States since its introduction in 1986. Recently, a new Russian wheat aphid biotype was discovered in southeastern Colorado that damaged previously resistant wheat, Triticum aestivum L. Biotype development jeopardizes the durability of plant resistance...

Glycolate oxidase is loosely held by microbodies obtained from etiolated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves depleted of nitrate. Defined centrifugation conditions cause the complete detachment of the enzyme from the microbodies. Addition of nitrate to these plants brings about a greater retention of glycolate oxidase by the microbodies. Synthesis of a nitrate-induced protein seems to be respons...

Objectives of this study were to (1) determine the starch physicochemical properties of two commercial Tibetan hull-less barley varieties, Beiqing (BQ) and Kangqing (KQ); and (2) understand the relationship between unique properties of the starches, their structures, and impacts of growing conditions. The BQ barleys were grown at a location with lower temperature and less rainfall compared with...
