INTRASPECIFIC STERILITY IN OATS

Results of Feeding Sprouted Oats to Correct Sterility in Cattle and Swine'

The idea that sprouted oats might have value in restoring breeding power to cows temporarily sterile due to diet deficiencies probably had its origin in the work of Evans and Bishop ^ and others. These writers, working with rats, demonstrated the existence of a hitherto unrecognized vitamin which was later called vitamin E. Preliminary experiments on the feeding of sprouted oats to temporarily ...

Oats Intolerance in Celiac Disease

There is a much-quoted saying, attributed to the epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose: “A large number of people exposed to a small risk may generate many more cases than a small number exposed to a very high risk.” This is true for many individual risk factors such as salt intake (linked to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease) and speeding on the highway (linked to injuries and accidents). ...

Sterility

Sterility in Wheat Hybrids. I. Sterility Relationships and Endosperm Development.

Partial or complete sterility is of frequent occurrence in species crosses. Within the same genus certain species are sterile when crossed while ather combinations are completely fertile. Partial sterility may cause the elimination of certain classes of gametes and prevent desired recombinations of characters in the second generation. Sterility may also cause an abnormal vegetative development....

Intraspecific plant–soil feedback and intraspecific overyielding in Arabidopsis thaliana

Understanding the mechanisms of community coexistence and ecosystem functioning may help to counteract the current biodiversity loss and its potentially harmful consequences. In recent years, plant-soil feedback that can, for example, be caused by below-ground microorganisms has been suggested to play a role in maintaining plant coexistence and to be a potential driver of the positive relations...
