Results of analyzing the passport database ‘Spring bread wheat landraces in the VIR collection’
Background. Recently, an increased interest in crop landraces has been observed among scientists working with plant genetic resources (PGR). Institutes have been organizing collecting missions to explore old varieties still cultivated locally.

Root trait dynamics of historical canola varieties under low and high nitrogen supply
Abstract Nitrogen fertilizer is a major input cost in crop production, making it crucial to enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to reduce fertilizer dependence without compromising yields. Root system architecture (RSA) is a key determinant of nutrient acquisition, particularly under nutrient‐limited conditions.

Turkish wheat landraces: Population structure and function
The cultivated tetraploid wheat ( Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum ) was derived from wild wheat in southeast Anatolia at Karacadag Mountain. There is a small core area in the region where tetraploid wheat and many edible crop plants are cultivated. Settled human civilisation presumably started with wheat cultivation, after which traditional farmers ...

Agronomically important traits of emmer wheat
Particular agronomic traits of six landraces of Triticum diccocum Schrank (Schuebl) were studied during three years in Prague and České Budějovice localities, Czech Republic. The analysis of tolerance to drought by using the method of 13C discrimination (

Origin and adaptation to high altitude of Tibetan semi-wild wheat
Mechanism of high altitude adaptation of wheat remains unknown. Here, the authors assemble the draft genome of a Tibetan semi-wild wheat accession and resequence 245 wheat accessions to reveal that Tibetan semi-wild wheat has been de-domesticated from ...

Hemp seed counting and morphometric analysis method comparison
Abstract The USDA ARS Hemp Germplasm Laboratory recently acquired over 800 hemp accessions (Cannabis sativa L.). Variation in hemp seed size characteristics is needed to develop quantitative standards to support the transition of hemp grain into a commodity.

Presence of celiac disease epitopes in modern and old hexaploid wheat varieties: wheat breeding may have contributed to increased prevalence of celiac disease [PDF]
Gluten proteins from wheat can induce celiac disease (CD) in genetically susceptible individuals. Specific gluten peptides can be presented by antigen presenting cells to gluten-sensitive T-cell lymphocytes leading to CD.

Time course sensor‐based phenotyping can predict Ascochyta blight disease severity in Cicer species
Abstract Ascochyta blight is a widely occurring chickpea fungal disease that can cause severe yield loss. Breeding for crop resistance benefits from high‐throughput evaluation of plant–pathogen interactions in genotypes which can serve as sources of resistance.

Agronomic performance of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) accessions in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia
Abstract Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is used in numerous traditional foods: injera, dabo, kolo, tihlo, besso, and in making local drinks. Nevertheless, there are not many comprehensive reports on the availability of best performing accessions of this primary grain crop.
