Induction of an NO3- efflux system in intact barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots was demonstrated. Since the measurement of NO3- efflux is dependent on its accumulation, experiments were devised to facilitate accumulation under noninducing conditions. This was accomplished by incubating seedlings in 10 mM NO3- in the presence of RNA and protein synthesis inhibitors. Under these conditions NO3- up...

Morphological studies and phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS sequence data showed that there is considerable differences within the Puccinia striiformis complex on members of Triticeae(Triticum and Hordeum), Dactylis glomerata and Poa pratensis. Based on the above molecular and morphological data, we suggest dividing P. striiformis as follows: - P. striiformis s. str. mainly on Triticeae. -...

Barley is integrated with other crops to inhibit weed growth, through allelopathic interactions. Effects of barley on growth of other crops, weeds and autotoxicity among cultivars result primarily from allelopathy mediated by allelochemicals released from plant components and/or exuded from living roots. A limited number of allelochemicals are identified that contributes to allelopathic effecti...

abstract recent interest in describing the spatial distribution patterns of weeds through using interpolation methods has increased to estimate weed seedling density from spatially refferenced data and evaluation of applicable to site-specific weed management. in this research, a multi layer perceptron neural network (mlpnn) model was developed to predict the spatial distribution of h. glaucum ...

Sterile embryos of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and cultures of Lemna perpusilla have been labeled with (32)Pi and the chromatin proteins prepared and separated by acid-urea and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Under these conditions chromatin proteins became labeled and the gel radioactivity profiles which were complex indicated a probable minimum of 15 to 20 proteins phosphorylated wit...
