Black point of barley: doesn’t mean Guinness!

, 2005
The major end use of malting barley is for the production of beer. The malt can have a significant influence on brewing efficiency and final beer quality. Black pointed barley grain is considered unacceptable by maltsters because of the assumption it may

How Crop Forecast Similarity, Government Policies, and Macroeconomic Conditions Affect WASDE Forecast Accuracy

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) play a central role in how agricultural commodity markets process information about supply, demand, and prices. This study examines how global and domestic shocks, as well as policy interventions, are reflected in the similarity of WASDE ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Towards isolation of the Barley Green Revolution gene [PDF]

, 2005
Development of semi-dwarf crop varieties has significantly increased the world food production, which is referred as 18Green Revolution 19. The semi-dwarfing varieties had better lodging resistance, higher harvest index, and more efficient utilization ...

Mapping adaptation of barley to droughted environments [PDF]

, 2008
Identifying barley genomic regions influencing the response of yield and its components to water deficits will aid in our understanding of the genetics of drought tolerance and the development of more drought tolerant cultivars. We assembled a population

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Finding proteins involved with black point of barley using proteomics

, 2005
Black point of barley refers to the discolouration of the embryo end of the grain. Downgrading of malting barley to feed grade due to black point results in significant economic loss to the Australian barley industry.

Revisiting Securidaca longipedunculata Seed Oil: Applying NMR and Mass Spectroscopy to Confirm the Presence of 2‐Acetyl‐1,3‐Diacyl–sn‐Glycerols and Conjugated Hydroxydienoic Fatty Acids

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The manuscript confirms and expands on previous reports concerning the presence of unusual conjugated hydroxydienoic fatty acids and acetyl‐TAG in the seed oil of Securidaca longipedunculata. The location of acetate only at sn‐2 of TAG was conclusively shown by high resolution NMR and hydroxy seed fatty acids are characterized.

Marker-assisted backcross breeding to develop wheat lines with stable yellow rust resistance without yield penalties

Frontiers in Plant Science
Wheat production faces severe yield threats globally and regionally in India from rust diseases caused by Puccinia species. Genetic resistance breeding is the most sustainable approach to mitigate these losses, but traditional phenotypic selection is ...
