LEVERAGING THE USE OF HISTORICAL DATA GATHERED DURING SEED REGENERATION OF AN EX SITU GENEBANK COLLECTION OF WHEAT

Leveraging the Use of Historical Data Gathered During Seed Regeneration of an ex Situ Genebank Collection of Wheat

Genebanks are a rich source of genetic variation.Most of this variation is absent in breeding programs but may be useful for further crop plant improvement.However, the lack of phenotypic information forms a major obstacle for the educated choice of genebank accessions for research and breeding.A promising approach to fill this information gap is t

Bet-hedging strategies in expanding populations.

In ecology, species can mitigate their extinction risks in uncertain environments by diversifying individual phenotypes.This observation is quantified by the theory of bet-hedging, which provides a reason for the degree of phenotypic diversity observed even in clonal populations.Bet-hedging in well-mixed populations is rather well understood.Howeve

Treatment of black copper with the use of iron scrap - part I

Currently, there is a large amount of mineral resources not being exploited in large copper minings, a clear example are black copper minerals.These resources are generally not incorpo-rated into the extraction circuits or are not treated, either in stocks, leach pads, or debris.These exotic minerals have considerable amounts of Cu and Mn, which ar
