The bread-making quality of wheat is strongly influenced by multiple low molecular weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) proteins expressed in the seeds. However, the organization, recombination and expression of LMW-GS genes and their functional mechanism in bread-making are not well understood. Here we report a systematic molecular analysis of LMW-GS genes located at the orthologous Glu-3 loci (Gl...

Although the vulnerability assessment of forest parks is used to determine the threats they face, a rapid and holistic framework has not been established well. The primary objective of this study is to adopt a framework for rapid assessment of forest parks vulnerability, examined in Lavizan forest park in Tehran (Iran) as the case study. The vulnerability assessment has been conducted, using th...

Three sets of hexaploid introgressive triticale lines, with Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum (cultivated einkorn wheat) genes and a bread wheat chromosome 1D substituted for chromosome 1A, and one set of secondary triticale lines were evaluated for grain and flour physicochemical and dough rheological characteristics in two generations (F7 and F8). Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and fl...

Volume 21, Number 9 " Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. It is finally here – Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.  A Scout works to pay his own way and ...

The term "normal values" is seriously afflicted by sylleptic ambiguities and conceptual problems, and it is gradually being discarded from the lexicon of clinical chemistry. The neutral term "reference values" preferable on semantic and scientific grounds, and its use in clinical chemistry is rapidly gaining acceptance. The term "discrimination value" has been added to the lexicon of clinical c...

current societies are not only faced with social, economic, political and cultural problems but also with environmental crises and this forced many social scientists to study environmental values. some previous studies have shown that environmental values and moral commitment toward the environment are rooted in a specific worldview and religious education. the purpose of this study is to inves...

Lasana-INIA is a spring bread wheat variety (Triticum aestivum L.) originated from cross carried out in the Wheat Breeding Project of Agricultural Research Institute (INIA), Quilamapu Regional Center, Chillan, 1996. It has semi-prostrate growth habit seedling stage. The adult plant medium height and varies between 85 100 cm. spike white with long awns along its full length. grain red, vitreous ...
