Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the classical fruits Old World. Among thousands domesticated grapevine varieties and variable wild sylvestris populations, range variation in pip morphology very wide. In this study we scanned representative samples grape an attempt to probe possibility using 3D tool for variety identification. The scanning was followed by mathematical statistical analysis innovative algorithms from field computer sciences. Using selected Fourier coefficients, a clear...
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) currently includes thousands of cultivars. Discrimination between these varieties, historically done by ampelography, is in recent decades mostly genetic analysis. However, when aiming to identify archaeobotanical remains, which are charred with extremely low genomic preservation, the application approach rarely successful. As a result, variety-level identification most grape remains prevented. Because pips highly polymorphic, several attempts were made utilize...
Abstract In barley, the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase is complex and under control of photoperiodic temperature conditions. One major gene involved PPD-H1 , a PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 7 ( PRR7 ) that encodes component circadian clock. Mutation at resulted in photoperiod non-responsive ppd-H1 alleles are beneficial high latitudinal environments as they allow growth during long-day summer conditions whereby higher yields harvested by farmers. Utilizing diverse GWAS panel...
In the 1960s and 1970s, two copper-smelting sites (Sites 2 30) a cultic place (the 'Hathor Shrine', Site 200) were excavated by Beno Rothenberg's 'Arabah Expedition' in Timna Valley. They yielded rich archaeobotanical assemblages, most of which never published. These data provide rare opportunity to reconstruct plant food aspects daily lives copper smelters. this study, we able locate identify some 10,000 remains, dated final phase Late Bronze Age early Iron 13th–9th centuries BCE). Most...

Barley is an old crop with a complex history. Its evolution and the molecular basis of domestication have been intensely studied. This research has ruled out single origin motivated model mosaic genomics ancestry. As more better genome sequences become available, this concept can be refined: where do building blocks mosaic, that is, haplotypes come from? Were all cultivated barleys created equal or did some wild barley populations contribute to domesticated lineages? To answer these other...
Abstract Grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) is an essential part of the oldest group fruit trees around which horticulture evolved, currently includes thousands cultivars, grown at numerous climatic conditions. Discrimination between these varieties has been traditionally conducted using ampelography, and in recent decades mostly by genetic analysis. However, when aiming to identify archaeobotanical remains, are charred- with extremely low genomic preservation, application approach rarely...
