wheat (triticum aestivum l.) was grown in earthen pots containing soil of balkasar soil series (sandy loam) in green house at the department of soil science and swc, pir mehr ali shah arid agriculture university, rawalpindi during rabi season, 2007. the crop was treated with two levels of phosphorus (40 and 80 kg p ha-1 ) in the form of ssp, tsp, np and dap. a basal doze of 100 kg n and 60 kg k...

The Hardness (Ha) locus controls grain hardness in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) and its relatives (Triticum and Aegilops species) and represents a classical example of a trait whose variation arose from gene loss after polyploidization. In this study, we investigated the molecular basis of the evolutionary events observed at this locus by comparing corresponding sequences of diploid, ter...

Ethylene evolution from etiolated barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and rye (Secale cereale) seedlings during coleoptile growth followed a rhythmic pattern, with a period of about 16 h for barley and wheat and 12 h for rye seedlings. Leaf emergence disturbed the established rhythm of ethylene evolution.

Over 100 genes of resistance to rust fungi: Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici, (47 Lr - leaf rust genes), P. striiformis (18 Yr - yellow rust genes) and P. graminis f. sp. tritici (41 Sr - stripe rust genes) have been identified in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its wild relatives according to recent papers. Sixteen Lr resistance genes have been mapped using restriction fragments length polym...

Many eastern Arkansas producers who typically grow soybean (Glycine max L.) in a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-soybean double-crop system choose to burn wheat residue immediately after harvest as a means of seedbed preparation. Burning residue adds a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and prevents the return of much needed carbon (C) to the soil. Alternative wheat-resi...
