Farming -- the cultivation of olives, wheat, dates, barley, sheep and goats -- occupied most early Israelites.
The area is heavily agricultural, the chief crops being cotton, corn (maize), wheat, dates, sugarcane, millet, and onions.
Technically, this grain is a variety of wheat, but it's really more like the prototype of wheat, dating back 17,000 years.
The formation of Emmer wheat dates back to 0.5 MYA; judging from the dating for rearrangements in Nicotiana allopolyploids, this is a sufficient time period for considerable rearrangements in the TE fraction between the parental chromosome sets.
And finally, inspired by the date-nut cream-cheese sandwiches of my own childhood, I baked whole-wheat date bread (without any nuts, which some schools don't permit) and smeared it with cream cheese, studding the cheese with grapes for Dahlia and sliced black olives for myself.
As we drove south from the Feish Khabur minefield down wide, green valleys, past immense blockhouses in the wheat that date from British battles with the Kurds in the 1920s, or the rubble of villages destroyed by Saddam during the war with Iran, we were driven off the road by a truck carrying smuggled diesel to Turkey.
In wheat, to date, there is no report of the application of VIGS in developing seeds.
Most mtDNA sequencing in wheat to date has been based on BAC or large cosmid library construction [ 7, 36].
Four dried agricultural residues, i.e. wheat bran, date seeds, grass and palm leaves were used as substrates for solid state fermentation (SSF).
Wheat bran, date's seeds, grass and palm leaves were chosen as the sole nutrient source for solid-state fermentation (SSF).
Production of CMCase, FPase, PGase and Xylase were tested using alkali pretreated wheat bran, date's seeds, wild grass and palm leaves as substrates by T. reesei, T. viride, T. harzianum and T. virens in solid state fermentation (SSF).
