History of wheat cultivation is as long history civilization. Adaptation nature, animal domestication and plant cultivation, enabled transition from nomadism to sedentism 12,000 years ago, portraying the rise Homo sapiens today. First civilization, Mesopotamia aroused around 4000 B.C.E, in riverbanks Tiger Euphrates, where carbon-14 dating revealed that tetraploid wild emmer (Triticum turgidum ...

Phenotypic plasticity is one of the main mechanisms adaptation to abiotic stresses via changes in critical developmental stages. Altering flowering phenology a key evolutionary strategy plant stresses, achieve maximum possible reproduction. The current study first apply linear regression residuals as drought scores while considering variation and traits under non-stress conditions. We character...

Portfolio optimization under downside risk while preserving the upside is of crucial importance to asset managers. In the Black-Scholes setting, we consider one such particular measure given by the notion of capital-at-risk. This paper generalizes the work of Emmer et al., 2001, to the case of time dependent parameters and investment strategies, i.e., continuous-time portfolio optimization, and...

Chromosome 2A of wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum var. dicoccoides) genotype Israel A increases Fusarium head blight (FHB) severity when present in durum wheat (T. turgidum var. durum) cv. Langdon (LDN). The goal of this study was to identify regions of Israel A chromosome 2A associated with this difference in resistance. A recombinant inbred chromosome line population (RICL) from a cross be...

We tested the importance of microenvironmental topographic parameters as predictors of emmer wheat genetic variation using three classes of single-locus (or at most several-loci) genetic markers (allozymes, glutenins, and qualitative traits) and two classes of markers of polygenic inheritance (phenological and morphological traits). Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and redundancy analysi...

Nowadays, there is a growing consumer demand for non-dairy functional foods due to several health issues related milk and dairy consumption increasing vegetarianism. Following that trend, in the present study emmer-based beverages were developed after flour gelatinization, fortification with fruit juices (blueberry, aronia, grape) fermentation potential probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plan...
