Diploid einkorn wheat (2n = 14) is an ancient crop that people cultivate for 10 thousand years. The grain of this a valuable product healthy diet, which determines the increasing interest in by scientists and agricultural producers. Meanwhile, wide use hindered several shortcomings complicate usage modern technologies: low yield, ear fragility, tendency to lodging, difficult threshing. Neverthe...

1. Introduction In 1989, I argued that the response latency of face-selective visual responses in high order visual areas such as the primate inferotemporal cortex poses severe problems for almost all models of visual processing that rely on iterative processing (Thorpe & Imbert, 1989). Such neurones start firing 80-100 ms after stimulus onset, which leaves only about 10 ms for processing at ea...

SpikeNet is an image-processing system that uses very large-scale networks of asynchronously -ring neurons. The latest version allows very e0cient object identi-cation in real-time using a video input, and although this speci-c implementation is designed to run on standard computer hardware, there are a number of clear implications for computational neuroscience. Speci-cally, SpikeNet demonstra...

Several cultivars and pure lines of Triticum monococcum, T. dicoccon, T. polonicum, T. spelta and T. aestivum were inoculated with Fusarium culmorum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight in wheat. During the three-year study, the infection decreased the values of the analyzed yield components: spike weight (by 5.6% to 15.8%), number of kernels per spike (by 2.8% to 11.8%) and one kernel wei...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of plant density on growth and seed yield of wheat (kodasht cultivar) under saline soils and rainfed condition inanbarolum region of golestan province in 2008-09. an experiment was conducted in three fields with different salinities (6.73, 9.34 and 11.63 ds m-1) based on randomized complete blocks design. treatments were four plant densi...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop traditionally used in animal feed, malting, and food production. In Kazakhstan, barley the second most cultivated grain. However, despite long history of cultivation traditional breeding methods prevail here. The introduction marker-assisted selection (MAS) process may improve adaptation productivity local cultivars, as well help developme...

This study determined the population structure and genome-wide marker-trait association of agronomic traits of wheat for drought-tolerance breeding. Ninety-three diverse bread wheat genotypes were genotyped using the Diversity Arrays Technology sequencing (DArTseq) protocol. The number of days-to-heading (DTH), number of days-to-maturity (DTM), plant height (PHT), spike length (SPL), number of ...

The narrow genetic variation of bread wheat is one of the limitations to improve it for drought-tolerance. The research carried out to study the responses of different genotypes and traits to imposed moisture stress. The plant material comprised of 10 Aegilops tauschii accessions as well as a tolerant (BW2) and a susceptible (BW1) bread wheat cultivar. To assess the root and shoot-traits, two s...

in order to study the effect of mallow weed competition and nitrogen (n) rates on grain yield and yield components of wheat cv. chamran, a field experiment was conducted in 2009. the experiment was designed as a split-plot with three replications and additive series. the n application rates were assigned in the main-plots (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg.n.ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of target common...
