'Coloured Anthers': a New Monofactorial Character in Wheat, T. vulgare, Host

Colchicine-induced paracrystals in the tapetum of wheat anthers.

Prolonged colchicine treatment induced the formation of numerous cytoplasmic para-crystals in tapetal cells of wheat anthers containing germ line cells at pre-meiotic mitosis or early pre-meiotic interphase. Such paracrystals were up to 8 microns long and 0.7 microns in diameter, and filled up to about 8% of the volume of the cytoplasm. Paracrystals were not bounded by a membrane. A paracrystal...

Stanley's character polynomials and coloured factorisations in the symmetric group

In Stanley [8] the author introduces polynomials which help evaluate symmetric group characters and conjectures that the coefficients of the polynomials are positive. In [9] the same author gives a conjectured combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the polynomials. Here, we prove the conjecture for the terms of highest degree.

Rhizobacteria for reduced fertilizer inputs in wheat (Triticum aestivum spp. vulgare) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) on Aridisols in Turkey

The present study assessed the effect of seed inoculation with single or multiple plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) strains on yield in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum spp. vulgare var. Kırık) and barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Tokak) plants in both greenhouse and field conditions during the years 2007 and 2008. The treatments of wheat and barley plants during the first year include...
