In 2020, rescue excavations due to construction of a pipeline connecting Poland and Lithuania took place at the Bronze Age sites Tarbiškės 1 2, eastern Lithuania, both dated 1050–900 cal BC. They revealed rather homogeneous archaeological assemblage which fills gap in development culture economy southeastern Baltic. Ware, from typological as well chronological point view, stands an intermediate...

The effect of light irradiance on the amount of ATP synthase α-subunit in mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) chloroplasts of C4 species such as maize (Zea mays L., type NADP-ME), millet (Panicum miliaceum, type NAD-ME) and guinea grass (Panicum maximum, type PEP-CK) was investigated in plants grown under high, moderate and low light intensities equal to 800, 350 and 50 μmol photons m–2 s–1, r...

The effect of light irradiance on the amount of ATP synthase alpha-subunit in mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) chloroplasts of C(4) species such as maize (Zea mays L., type NADP-ME), millet (Panicum miliaceum, type NAD-ME) and guinea grass (Panicum maximum, type PEP-CK) was investigated in plants grown under high, moderate and low light intensities equal to 800, 350 and 50 micromol photons ...

In 27 C4 grasses grown under adequate or deficient nitrogen (N) supplies, N-use efficiency at the photosynthetic (assimilation rate per unit leaf N) and whole-plant (dry mass per total leaf N) level was greater in NADP-malic enzyme (ME) than NAD-ME species. This was due to lower N content in NADP-ME than NAD-ME leaves because neither assimilation rates nor plant dry mass differed significantly ...

This paper proposes to improve the information provided by biological indicators from sedimentary archives integrating biomolecular techniques and botanical skills. study represents a first proposal for combining pollen markers detect land use knowledge of past environmental change drivers. The specific aim research is verify relationship between miliacin (a pentacyclic triterpene methyl ether,...

Abstract Background Global warming and issues in favour of a more sustainable agriculture suggest reconsideration minor cereals European agrosystems. Compared to other summer crops, proso millet has remarkable drought resistance could be used improve crop rotation biodiversity. Proso is also increasingly sought by industry produce novel foods such as those designed for coeliac patients. In this...

Abstract Two millets, Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica , were domesticated in northern China, around 6000 BC. Although its oldest evidence is Asia, possible independent domestication of these species the Caucasus has often been proposed. To verify this hypothesis, a multiproxy research program (Orimil) was designed to detect first millet region. It included critical review occurrence archa...
