GRAIN HARDINESS

Grain development in maize is an essential process in the plant’s life cycle and is vital for use of the plant as a crop for animals and humans. However, little is known regarding the protein regulatory networks that control grain development.

2.7.2 Thermomechanical Treatment
The conventional method of producing high-strength steels has been to add alloy elements such as Cr, Ni, and Mo to the liquid steel. The resulting alloy steels are often heat treated after rolling to develop the desired strength without excessive loss of toughness[r]

The tests have shown that very few grains are separated at the first class (Fig. 5). This is typical
behavior of a tangential threshing unit, since kernels have to be removed from ears first. At the end of the second class approx. 50% of the grain is separated. Less than[r]

Equation 2.14 has also been shown to fit the growth behavior of metallic materials when grain growth is controlled by surface energy and the diffusion of atoms across the grain boundaries[r]

Among the back crosses, significant differences were observed between B1 16.94 and B2 15.71 and B1 was higher in 1000 grain weight than B2 which recorded maximum 1000 grain weight compar[r]

Samarah 2005reported decreased in the number of tiller, grain per plant and grain weight in barley due to water stress condition at post-anthesis stage.Hao_et _ _al._ 2013 reported that [r]

Assuming that the grains are incompressible, a physical condition is that all grains are immobile when an infinitesimal test force is applied to a grain, namely, there are no ‘rattlers’ which carry no stress at all. A system is jammed when all grains have enough contacts and friction such that[r]

Deterioration from insects can also be prevented by a combina- tion of reducing moisture and lowering temperature. Lowering of temperatures is best achieved by aeration with cool ambient air dur- ing cool nights and periods of cool weather. Both the use of clean storage structures and the segregatio[r]

In North West Plain Zone (NWPZ), where the hot, dry wind is frequent during grain filling, wheat cultivars suffer from loss of grain weight because of low grain filling rate. A field study was carried out under normal sown conditions to evaluate the phenological variation in forty wheat genotypes. S[r]

Molecular markers and knowledge of traits associated with heat tolerance are likely to provide breeders with a more efficient means of selecting wheat varieties able to maintain grain size after heat waves during early grain filling.

In this paper, correlation and path coefficient analysis for finding all possible relationships between grain yield and plant growth components have been carried out. The plant growth components are not only individually correlated with yield, but also correlated among themselves. The inter-characte[r]

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) of wheat grain leads to a reduction in grain yield and quality. The availability of markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) of PHS resistance will serve to enhance breeding selection and advancement of lines for cultivar development.

SHORT STORY
A Grain As Big As A Hen's Egg
ONE DAY SOME children found, in a ravine, a thing shaped like a grain of corn, with a groove down the middle, but as large as a hen's egg. A traveller passing by saw the thing, bought it from the children for a penny, and t[r]

Grain size and shape greatly influence grain weight which ultimately enhances grain yield in wheat. Digital imaging (DI) based phenomic characterization can capture the three dimensional variation in grain size and shape than has hitherto been possible.
