Response of wheat (Triticum aestivum) landraces from north-western Himalaya to rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae)

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces (one hundred) from the north-western Himalayan region were evaluated for their response to rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae L. under no-choice artificial infestation conditions in the laboratory.

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

open access: yesAmerican 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

Morphological and biological characteristics of the land races of the spring soft wheat grown in the organic farming system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Organic farmers have become more interested in the marginally grown (neglected) cultivars, as spring forms of the hulled wheat varieties (eincorn, emmer wheat, spelta wheat) or intermediate forms of the soft wheat.

CardiLect: A combined cross‐species lectin histochemistry protocol for the automated analysis of cardiac remodelling

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1398-1415, April 2025.
Abstract Background Cardiac remodelling, a crucial aspect of heart failure, is commonly investigated in preclinical models by quantifying cardiomyocyte cross‐sectional area (CSA) and microvascular density (MVD) via histological methods, such as immunohistochemistry.

Evaluation of emmer wheat genetics resources aimed at dietary food production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Emmer wheat cultivated by organic farmers is used as a component of some bio (organic) food products. Its positive influence on consumer health is caused by grain composition.

Functional gene assessment of bread wheat: breeding implications in Ningxia Province

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background The overall genetic distribution and divergence of cloned genes among bread wheat varieties that have occurred during the breeding process over the past few decades in Ningxia Province, China, are poorly understood. Here, we report the genetic

Genetic approaches to exploit landraces for improvement of Triticum turgidum ssp. durum in the age of climate change

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Addressing the challenges of climate change and durum wheat production is becoming an important driver for food and nutrition security in the Mediterranean area, where are located the major producing countries (Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Morocco ...

Bioavailability through lactic fermentation in millet for combating hidden hunger

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Millets are nutrient‐rich grains with considerable potential to combat hidden hunger, but the presence of anti‐nutritional factors, can restrict mineral bioavailability. Processing strategies including soaking, germination, cooking, and lactic acid fermentation can reduce the anti‐nutritional factors.

Traceability of Sicilian Durum Wheat Landraces and Historical Varieties by High Molecular Weight Glutenins Footprint

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Over the last new decade, there has been a strong interest in landraces and historical wheat varieties from farmers, manufacturers and consumers. They are agronomically and nutritionally interesting but the supply chain (from seed to end-product) is not ...

Genetic switch to lower nitrogen fertilizer dependency and enhance maize yield

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Transcription factor NCR1 regulates nitrate transporter NRT2.3 and controls root‐to‐shoot nitrogen transport. A superior NCR1 haplotype, lost in modern maize breeding, boosts this process. This discovery enables breeding and biotechnology to develop high‐yielding maize varieties that require less nitrogen fertilizer, reducing agricultural costs and ...
