Root system architecture (RSA) is a target for breeding crops with effective nutrient and water use. Breeding can use populations designed to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). Here we non-invasively phenotype roots leaves of the 16 foundation parents two multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations, covering diversity in spring (CSIRO MAGIC) winter (NIAB wheats. RSA compone...

Cereal Chem. 72(2):213-216 Diploid wheat (Triticum monococcum L., einkorn) is of interest both species of wheat and among diploid wheat strains were minimal, especially as a crop and as a source of genes unavailable in the more widely grown after amino acid values were adjusted to a common protein level. One wheat species, T. aestivum L. (common wheat) and T. durum Desf. (durum of the einkorn a...

Abstract The impact of drought on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production is shown, using an example data set almost 60 yr from six climate‐specific regions in Poland. Drought was measured the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and hydro‐thermal coefficient Selyaninov (HTC). Yield trends were estimated by Bayesian linear regression over two periods, 1961–1991 1992–2019, identified a change...

Spinosad is a commercial reduced-risk pesticide that is naturally derived. Spinosad's performance was evaluated on four classes of wheat (hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, and durum wheats) against adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.); red flour beetle, Tribolium...
