Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation. [PDF]
More than ten years have passed since the first successful Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation experiment, however it is still quite challenging to establish a stably functioning agroinfiltration protocol.

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

History and Progress of Barley Breeding in Sládkovičovo
Study summarizes the results of agronomical and malting parameters of spring malting barley varieties bred in the Breeding Station Sládkovičovo in the period of 1938–2010. Progress in breeding was refl ected in the year-on-year increase in grain yield by

Reticulate evolutionary history of a complex group of grasses: phylogeny of Elymus StStHH allotetraploids based on three nuclear genes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elymus (Poaceae) is a large genus of polyploid species in the wheat tribe Triticeae. It is polyphyletic, exhibiting many distinct allopolyploid genome combinations, and its history might be further complicated by introgression and lineage ...

The effect of municipal waste composts on grass nutrient yields [PDF]
Field experiments with grass mixtures (Phleum pratense, Festuca pratensis) were established with a cereal cover crop (Hordeum vulgare) and fertilized with municipal waste composts on medium fine sand in Mikkeli in ...

Biology and Ecology of Melanoplus Borealis (Orthoptera: Acrididae) in Fairbanks, Alaska with Special Reference to Feeding Habits [PDF]
Overwintered Melanoplus borealis (subspecies, borealis Fieber) eggs hatched within 10-15 days in mid-June. The nymphs molted 5 times and became adults in about 45 days in nature.

Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,

Evolutionary plant breeding for low input systems [PDF]
Heritable variation is at the heart of the process of evolution. However, variation is restricted in breeding for uniform crop populations using the pedigree line approach. Pedigree lines are successful in agriculture because synthetic inputs are used to

Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 genes confer drought tolerance and post‐drought recovery in wheat
Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 transcription factor genes in wheat modulate growth traits and enhance drought tolerance by regulating the TaMADS56 transcription facto gene, cytokinin biosynthesis‐related genes, and nicotianamine synthase genes, revealing the critical role of tandemly duplicated genes in the coordination of stress responses and ...
