Scenario Projections of the Changes in Water Availability to Wheat Crops in the Steppe Crimea in the 21st Century and Some Measures Increasing the Efficiency of Its Cultivation

Eurasian Soil Science - The possible changes in water availability (aridity) to grain crops and their yields in the Crimean steppe in the 21st century are analyzed using the earlier developed MULCH...     

Use of prolamine polymorphism in studying genetic resources of forage grasses

Summary Electrophoresis of single seed prolamines was used for the analysis ofLolium perenne L.,Festuca pratensis Huds., andDactylis glomerata L. populations. Identification and registration of populations was carried out according to the frequencies of occurrence of genotypes with corresponding types of prolamine banding patterns. The publication sums up the problems of applied use of molecular markers for identification and registration of world genetic resources of forage grasses, analysis of the dynamics of population composition and other problems of plant growing, genetics, breeding and seed control. The approaches mentioned in the article are promising for their use in genetic banks as well as at the institutions which store collections of genetic resources of given crops and at universities and breeding stations.
