The Bronze Age in Europe is a dynamic time characterised by an increase long-distance mobility and interaction, changes social organisation, technological advancements evolving agricultural practices. In particular, we see the range of crops grown from middle Age, including introduction new crops, such as broomcorn millet broad bean. However, evidence practices Croatia limited. This paper prese...

Weeds are currently present in a wide range of ecosystems worldwide. Although the beginning of their evolution is largely unknown, researchers assumed that they developed in tandem with cultivation since the appearance of agricultural habitats some 12,000 years ago. These rapidly-evolving plants invaded the human disturbed areas and thrived in the new habitat. Here we present unprecedented new ...

The genus Triticum includes bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum durum) and constitutes a major source for human food consumption. Drought is currently the leading threat on world's food supply, limiting crop yield, and is complicated since drought tolerance is a quantitative trait with a complex phenotype affected by the plant's developmental stage. Drought tolerance is crucial ...

We investigated the variation in plant response in host-pathogen interactions between wild (Aegilops spp., Triticum spp.) and domesticated wheat (Triticum spp.) and Wheat dwarf virus (WDV). The distribution of WDV and its wild host species overlaps in Western Asia in the Fertile Crescent, suggesting a coevolutionary relationship. Bread wheat originates from a natural hybridization between wild ...

In this study, archaeobotanical data were gathered from the Early, Middle, and Late Bronze Age layers (2400-1200 BC) of Tatarlı Höyük exposed in 2011?2012 excavation seasons Ceyhan district Adana Province evaluated. 8 trenches relating to these periods, archaeological contexts such as inside areas, hearths, ovens, middens, ceramic pots, etc., well with carbonized plant remains recovered by usin...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect zinc (Zn) deficiency on growth and grain yield wheat with different allele statuses Gpc-B1 gene. For research, common wild emmer (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (Koern. ex Asch. &Graebn.) Schweinf.), bread aestivum L. cv. Festivalnaya), two intogressive lines were used. T. introgressive line 15-7-1 carry a functional gene, while Festiv...

Einkorn and emmer wheat together with barley were among the first cereals domesticated by humans more than 10,000 years ago, long before durum or bread wheat originated. Domesticated einkorn wheat differs from its wild progenitor in basic morphological characters such as the grain dispersal system. This study identified the Non-brittle rachis 1 (btr1) and Non-brittle rachis 2 (btr2) in einkorn ...
