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...

Nutrition, especially wheat consumption, is a major factor involved in the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases such as celiac. While modern wheat cultivars possess similar gliadin proteins associated with the onset of celiac disease and T1D, alternative dietary wheat sources from Israeli landraces and native ancestral species may be lacking the epitopes linked with T1D,...

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 ...

Domestication is the process by which plants or animals evolved to fit a human-managed environment, and it is marked by innovations in plant morphology and anatomy that are in turn correlated with new human behaviours and technologies for harvesting, storage and field preparation. Archaeobotanical evidence has revealed that domestication was a protracted process taking thousands of plant genera...

Abstract Background During the bread wheat speciation by polyploidization, a series of genome rearrangement and sequence recombination occurred. Simple repeat (SSR) sequences, predominately located in heterochromatic regions chromosomes, are effective marker for tracing genomic DNA variations. However, to date distribution dynamics SSRs on chromosomes its donors, including diploid tetraploid Tr...

Abstract Vrbjanska Čuka is a tell site in the region of Pelagonia (Macedonia) established 8000 years ago by Neolithic communities. Later it was used as an agricultural unit during Roman era and Middle Ages when also employed burial area. The excavations performed 1980s last five indicate farming society that constructed large buildings made daub settlement enclosed circular ditch. had many clay...

in order to study of nitrogen absorb and use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum) and wild oat (avena fatua) at vegetative growth stage, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized block design with three replications in research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, at ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. the first factor was competition between wild oat (densitie...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and yield are depressed by physical and chemical interference of weeds. Recently, wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) population has increased in wheat fields of many provinces of Iran. Since, little is known about the allelopathic effects of wild barley residues in soil, greenhouse studies were conducted to examine the effects of soil amended residues of wild barl...

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...
