Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Regional and local divergence in welfare provision in England and Wales, 1776–1815

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article uses the township‐level data on welfare expenditure and provision gathered by parish officers in England and Wales at three points between 1776 and 1815 to illuminate regional and local differences during the period. These data have been linked to geographic information system (GIS) mapping systems, facilitating the mapping of ...

The bread of Toledo: Prices and political economy, 1535–1800

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We study the market for common white bread in the city of Toledo through a new 266‐year‐long series of bread prices, obtained from the cash purchases and wholesale bread‐for‐wheat contracts of large institutions. Our data are strongly consistent with fragmentary evidence on retail price regulation, as well as with shorter series from other ...

The Our Daily Bread: The Origin of Modern Bread Wheat

Journal of Scientific Exploration
Modern bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, is a hybrid hexaploid that emerged in the Middle East region about 9000 years ago, usually considered to be the result of natural hybridization and multiple allopolyploid speciation. Contrariwise, the abrupt, late appearance of a singular cultivar with traits favoring human utilization suggests the possibility of ...

This (Mortal) Christian Life: Growth in Grace and the Problem of Senescence

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Theological accounts of the Christian life attempt to describe the manner in which the Holy Spirit's communication of Christ's redemptive work engenders new ways of being in the world. Such descriptions normally entail, in one form or another, the conclusion that the Christian life is marked by progressive growth in grace, an upward spiral in ...

Does Nutrient Supply Reflect Nutrient Intake? A Comparison Between Nutrient Intake and Nutrient Supply Data in Australia

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Information about the dietary intake of the Australian population is vital for informing nutrition policies; however, national dietary surveys are not frequently conducted, with the most recent data for Australia, at the time of analysis, collected in 2011–2013.

Harnessing genetic variation for grain quality from diverse wheat landraces

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Grain protein content is usually measured on bulk samples, hiding variation between individual grains. We used hyperspectral imaging to predict protein in c. 15 000 single grains from over 500 Watkins wheat landraces grown in two environments, resolving both mean protein content and grain‐to‐grain uniformity.

Programmable Domestication: CRISPR, Pan‐Genomics and System Level Engineering for Next‐Generation Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of programmable de novo domestication from genetic diversity discovery to crop deployment. The framework connects diverse germplasm and genomic resources with three trajectory pathways. Adaptive Rescue, Agronomic Refinement and Novel Chassis defined by biological distance, engineering complexity and breeding objectives.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
