The results of studies on assessing the influence various types fertilizers and growth regulators yield quality indicators grain varieties winter barley ordinary chernozem in south Russia are presented. According to experiments, it was found out that ecological test barley, standard variety Erema averaged 6.90 t / ha experiment. Among studied varieties, only Krasnodar Toma significantly reliabl...

Germination is a biological process important to plant development and agricultural production. Barley and rice diverged 50 million years ago, but share a similar germination process. To gain insight into the conservation of their underlying gene regulatory programs, we compared transcriptomes of barley and rice at start, middle and end points of germination, and revealed that germination regul...

Greater production demands for ruminants require increased dietary inclusion of high-energy feeds. Grains and oil seeds are most commonly used to enhance diet energy density. However, use of such feeds proportionally increases the amount of dietary phytate phosphorus (P), which the ruminant may not be able to fully utilise. Our objectives for this study were to determine the extent of phytate d...

The sequence in which a variety of enzymes and metabolites are affected by gibberellic acid after application of the hormone to aleurone layers of half seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare var. Betzes) and half seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Gensee) was investigated. With barley aleurone layers the first hormonal effect observed was the increased secretion of soluble carbohydrate, some of w...

Objective: Flowering Time (FT) in cereals controlled by genes that had a main factor on plant development. Methods: Genetic and phenotypic diversity of four flowering time genes (FT2, FT3, FT4, Ppd-H1) in 19 genotypes of cultivated and wild barley was evaluated and a total of 107 alleles were amplified. Genotypes based on days to flowering time and molecular data were grouped into earl...
