Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Epigenetic control on transcription of vernalization genes and whole-genome gene expression profile induced by vernalization in common wheat

Plant Diversity
Vernalization is necessary for winter wheat to flower. However, it is unclear whether vernalization is also required for spring wheat, which is frequently sown in fall, and what molecular mechanisms underlie the vernalization response in wheat varieties.

Cameras do not always take a full picture: wolf activity patterns revealed by accelerometers versus road‐positioned camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

Temperature and Photoperiod Change the Flowering Process in Prunella vulgaris by Inducing Changes in Morphology, Endogenous Hormones, Carbon/Nitrogen Metabolites, and Gene Expression

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2022
The spicas of Prunella vulgaris are widely used in the medical, beverage, and ornamental fields. Temperature and photoperiod are the two main ecological factors that determine the transformation of many plants from vegetative growth to reproductive ...

Pharmacokinetics of Topical Administration of Altrenogest in Mares and Implications for Human Health

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Altrenogest is a synthetic progestogen widely used in equine reproductive management. Adverse effects to altrenogest have been reported in people with cutaneous exposure reported as the highest exposure pathway. Despite these reports, there has been no quantitative research to determine the capacity for altrenogest to be absorbed through skin.

The expression patterns of three VRN genes in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in response to vernalization [PDF]

, 2016
Common wheat is a widely planted cereal in China, and vernalization is a crucial phase in wheat development. Although three major genes (VRN1, VRN2 and VRN3) are associated with the vernalization response, little is known about their expression profiles ...

Vernal ulcer.

Indian journal of ophthalmology, 1990
Vernal ulcer is a rare entity not reported in Indian ophthalmic literature. 76 patients in the age group ranging from 3-43 years diagnosed as having vernal conjunctivitis had been referred from general ophthalmology clinic to cornea service of the same institute during 1988-89. Among them 60 were males and 16 were females.

VERNALIZATION2 alters early tiller development in a facultative spring hexaploid bread wheat

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary An extended period of cold exposure enables the process of vernalization in winter cereals and is important for the synchronised timing of the floral transition. The cereal‐specific floral repressor VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) has an integral role in vernalization, yet this locus remains poorly characterised in facultative spring hexaploid wheat ...

MANAGEMENT OF WINTER CEREAL CROPS FROM SOWING TO FLOWERING – SCIENTIFIC AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS [PDF]

Scientific Papers Series : Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2023
Through this paper we aimed to show that, during a vegetative cycle, winter cereal must go through a physiological process of vernalization (low temperatures), which induces and controls flowering and fruiting, also regulating the following development ...
