When this test was used to assess the wheat sequences that were previously claimed to have ancient origins, it revealed that their pattern of DNA damage did not fit statistically with those of ancient DNA.
The purpose of the study was to (1) confirm that lactating women are deficient in micronutrients in this population, (2) identify predictors of micronutrient concentrations in blood and breast milk and (3) assess whether wheat flour fortified with 10 micronutrients impacts upon micronutrient status.
The EST markers were compared with the NCBI rice genomic sequence to assess the wheat-rice macrosynteny (henceforth synteny) [ 30].
To verify the reliability of these loci, we assessed the wheat transcriptome evidence, such as wheat FLcDNA/mRNAs and predicted genes with EST evidence.
Diseases were assessed on wheat plants sampled from the wheat crops and from the set-aside/conservation covers in both spring and summer.
Take-all was assessed on wheat volunteers collected from the set-aside/conservation covers in spring.
Take-all was assessed on wheat plants sampled from the set-aside covers in spring and summer but only from plots sown at 50 seeds m−2 or above.
Take-all, assessed on wheat volunteers sampled from the set-aside covers in spring, affected 27.3, 22.8 and 33.7% of plants, respectively, in Experiments 5, 6 and 7 with, on average, 0.43, 0.77 and 0.85 infected roots plant−1.
Me-Bar and Valdez's vulnerability formula was applied to assess the vulnerability of wheat farmers during drought.
Our objective was to assess the impact of wheat cultivar mixtures that differ by their canopy architecture on crop microclimate, spore dispersal and the propagation of splash-dispersed disease, septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici.
After an initial period of unbridled enthusiasm over ICOs, cooler heads seem to be thinking about ways to assess ICOs to separate the wheat from the chaff.
