We used nine years of satellite measurements of wheat growth in northern India to monitor rates of wheat senescence following exposure to temperatures greater than 34 °C. We detect a statistically significant acceleration of senescence from extreme heat, above and beyond the effects of increased ...
By the 1990s, semi-dwarf wheat varieties covered 80% of world wheat area, with adoption rates of 90% and higher in Asia and Latin America. Wheat research has generated a total economic surplus of about $2.5 billion annually in developing countries, for total research costs that never exceeded...
(whole meals and flours) contain a higher percentage of damaged granules than similar products from soft wheat. As a result, hard wheat flours exhibit higher fermentation rates (gassing power) and dough water absorption, both of which are desirable traits for the production of good bread flour ...
India has lifted the ban on export of wheat to Nepal. It had imposed a ban five months back. On Thursday, India had issued a permission to import 50,000 tons of wheat. Even after the ban, the import of the wheat was however continued in a clandestine way. Reasoning the huge price ...
we first examined the heat tolerance of additional fiveT. sphaerococcumwithTaSG-D1E286Kallele and fiveT. aestivumaccessions withTaSG-D1allele. All the Indian dwarf wheat lines exhibited higher seedling survival rates than common wheat in response to heat stress (Supplementary Fig.2a,b). Next...

in nearly all conditions, indicative of an enrichment in housekeeping genes that is consistent with reports from the barley11and bread wheat15genomes. The positive correlation between recombination rate and DNA variants supports previous evidence that higher recombination rates and illegitimate recombination...
This persistence of residue burning in Punjab has multiple likely causes. First, alternatives are often promoted in isolation and rely on changes in farmer behaviour (Government of lndia, 2018). Yet uptake rates are low as farmers perceive immediate costs and risks of these changes outweigh ...
Three rates of ethylenediurea were used to assess the impact of ambient ozone on growth and productivity of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L) cultivars "Malviya 533" (M 533) and "Malviya 234" (M 234) at a suburban site near Varanasi, India, beginning in December. Wheat plants were treated ...
