Phenotypic responses of wild barley to experimentally imposed water stress [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2000
Responses to water stress within a population of wild barley from Tabigha, Israel, were examined. The population's distribution spans two soil types: Terra Rossa (TR) and Basalt (B). Seeds were collected from plants along a 100 m transect; 24 genotypes were sampled from TR and 28 from B. Due to different soil water-holding capacities, plants growing on

Drought and salt tolerances in wild relatives for wheat and barley improvement [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2010
ABSTRACTDrought and salinity are the major abiotic stresses that dramatically threaten the food supply in the world. Tribe Triticeae, including wheat and barley, possesses tremendous potential for drought and salt tolerance that has been extensively and practically identified, tested, and transferred to wheat cultivars with proven expression of ...

Anticancer potential of berberine: Molecular pathways and current clinical trial perspectives

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer is constantly rising mortality rates due to its late prognosis, poor management, and expensive treatment. Multi‐sectoral approaches for cancer management include hygienic practices, synthetic drug exploitation, radiation therapy, and diet modifications.

Isolation and characterisation of chlorate resistant mutants of barley [PDF]

, 2012
The object of this study has been to characterise barley mutants which lack the functional nitrate reductase (NR) enzyme system. In the long term it is hoped that such studies will lead to improved nitrate utilisation and ultimately to improved ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Genetic dissection of quantitative and qualitative traits using a minimum set of barley Recombinant Chromosome Substitution Lines

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Exploring the natural occurring genetic variation of the wild barley genepool has become a major target of barley crop breeding programmes aiming to increase crop productivity and sustainability in global climate change scenarios. However this

Macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of meat types: insights into human health and diet

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite considerable advances in global health and nutrition, emerging challenges such as population growth, climate change, and limited natural resources continue to threaten food security. Meat remains an essential component of the human diet, supplying high‐quality proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...
