Agricultural productivity has increased in Argentina, with cereals yield going from 1.4 to 4.8 tonnes grain ha-1 during the period 1961-2014 [6]. However, in the Province of Buenos Aires, cereals production has changed its composition during the period 2006 2016, with wheat production decreasing from approx.9 mill. to 5 mill. of tonnes and corn production going from 6.1 to 10. 1 mill. tonnes [7...

on 29th November, 1937, and the following recommendation was made : 'Diet surveys have shown that intake of pulses in various parts of the country might be increased with resulting improvement in the nutritive value of diets based largely on cereals \ In this matter, certain questions arise : (1) Are all the common pulses equally good in nutritive value ? (2) Could they be tolerated in high pro...

FAOSTAT 2002 Nitrogen is, with water, the greatest global constraints to agricultural productivity. Sustainable cropping systems throughout history have relied on combining cereals with nitrogen-fixing legumes. However, over last fifty years, cereals have dominated global agriculture, while legume cultivation areas and productivity have stagnated or even declined. Global agriculture is now at a...

The method for regeneration of plants from microspores was being developed for the last 50 years. Through the use of this method a tremendous progress in breeding of many important crop plants was achieved. This applies to cereals too. We have developed microspore culture techniques for many cereals and grasses, and here we recommend androgenesis as a tool to study morphological and biochemical...

Cereal-based and sucrose-coated infant cereals were ground, and the sucrose, glucose, and fructose concentrations were determined with the Agilent Cary 630 Fourier transform mid-infrared, FTIR, instrument and compared to values measured by HPLC. The results indicate that use of the portable FTIR instrument was in line with the HPLC measurements, and that the Cary 630 is suitable for real-time a...

1. Cereals : (i) The total quantity of rationed cereals should be as laid down, from time to time, by the rationing authorities. At present, it is 12 ozs. per day per patient. It should preferably be distributed in the proportions indicated against rice, bread, wheat flour, etc. in the different diet scales. (ii) Undermilled rice a ,, wholemeal bread sho be used in. place of nil and/or polished...

■ Abstract The determination of the order of genes along cereal chromosomes indicates that the cereals can be described as a single genetic system. Such a framework provides an opportunity to combine data generated from the studies on different cereals, enables chromosome evolution to be traced, and sheds light on key structures involved in cereal chromosome pairing. Centromeric and telomeric r...
