The Inner Asian Mountain Corridor (IAMC) has been identified as a major pathway for the westward dispersal of millet from Northern China, where it was initially cultivated. Cross-disciplinary investigations are necessary to distinguish cultivated taxa their wild relatives and clarify social context underlying adoption in novel environments. Despite ambiguity distinguishing Setaria italica Panic...

He postulated that tyrosine (I) is decarboxylated to tyramine (II) which through a stepwise methylation forms N-methyltyramine (III) and subsequently hordenine (IV). Attempts to verify this postulated reaction sequence have been partially successful. Leete, Kirkwood and Marion (10) administered tyramine-2-C14 to sprouting barley and isolated radioactive hordenine and N-methyltyramine from the r...

The host range of the corn cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae, recently detected in Maryland, was investigated. A total of 269 plant entries, representing 68 families, 172 genera, and 204 species, was inoculated with cysts or a mixture of eggs and second-stage juveniles of H. zeae. The host range of the Maryland population of H. zeae was limited to plants of the Gramineae and included 11 tribes, 33...

Evaluation of three hundred and sixty four proso millet germplasm accessions were done during rabi, 2008-2009 at Department of Millets, Centre for Plant Breeding and Genetics, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to study genetic variability, diversity, correlation and path analysis of yield and its components. High variability observed for most of the characters indicated the scope o...

Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) belongs to one of the first cultivated plants. Although the crop is traditionally grown, especially in Asia and from European countries through to Russia, nowadays it has become a new alternative crop and a new raw material for food production in many developed countries. Also changes of climatic conditions can support the growth of this drought-resistant pla...

Soil microbiological indicators are essential tools to understand how the management with cover crops interferes in activity and soil microbial community. Thus, objective of study was evaluate attributes performance bacterial community Brazilian Cerrado different crops. The experiment performed a randomized block design, evaluating seven crops, Sorghum bicolor, Crotalaria ochroleuca, Pennisetum...

The main economically valuable characteristics the their biochemical properties grain made in 2018–-2020. technological indicators dough assessment quality bread from a mixture spring...

The period from the late third millennium BC to the start of the first millennium AD witnesses the first steps towards food globalization in which a significant number of important crops and animals, independently domesticated within China, India, Africa and West Asia, traversed Central Asia greatly increasing Eurasian agricultural diversity. This paper utilizes an archaeobotanical database (As...
