Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat That Springeth Green, J. F. Powers’s beautifully realized final work, is a comic foray into the commercialized wilderness of modern American life. Its hero, Joe Hackett, is a high school track star who sets out to be a saint. But seminary life and priestly apprenticeship soon damp his ardor, and by the time he has been given a parish of his own he has traded in his hair shirt for the consolations of baseball and beer. Meanwhile Joe’s higher-ups are pressing for an increase in profits from the collection plate, suburban Inglenook’s biggest business wants to launch its new line of missiles with a blessing, and not all that far away, in Vietnam, a war is going on. Joe wants to duck and cover, but in the end, almost in spite of himself, he is condemned to do something right. J. F. Powers was a virtuoso of the American language with a perfect ear for the telling clich? and an unfailing eye for the kitsch that clutters up our lives. This funny and very moving novel about the making and remaking of a priest is one of his finest achievements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including recipes for baking with Einkorn Wheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit--witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly'. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment. Fortunately, heritage 'landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition. Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer--the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer. Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Download or read book Wheat in a Global Environment written by Z. Bedo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat breeders have achieved significant results over the last fifty years in research on mankind's one of the most important crops. Classical genetic and breeding methods, far broader international cooperation than was experienced in earlier periods, and improvements in agronomic techniques have led to previously unimaginable development in the utilisation of wheat for human consumption. The contribution of wheat researchers is particularly noteworthy since these results have been achieved at a time when the world population has grown extremely dynamically. Despite this demographic explosion, of a proportion never previously experienced, thousands of millions of people have been saved from starvation, thus avoiding unpredictable social consequences and situations irreconcilable with human dignity. Despite these developments in many regions of the world food supplies are still uncertain and the increase in the world's wheat production has not kept pace with the population increase during the last decade. Due to the evils of civilisation and the pollution of the environment there is a constant decline in the per capita area of land suitable for agricultural production. Based on population estimates for 2030, the present wheat yield of around 600 million tonnes will have to be increased to almost 1000 million tonnes if food supplies are to be maintained at the present level.

This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is the main occupation in India and about 75% of its population depends directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihood. It is the dominant sector that contributes 18% of the gross domestic product. Thus, agriculture is the foundation of the Indian economy. The maximum share of Indian exports is also from the agriculture sector. As the population of the country is increasing trem- dously, approximately at the rate of 19 million every year over the existing popu- tion of more than 1 billion (approximately 1. 18 billion), the food grain production must necessarily be increased. This can be done by increasing crop production to match the population growth rate of 2. 2% per annum, which is expected to stabilize at 1. 53 billion around 2050. There is no doubt that the Green Revolution in India during the late 1960s brought self-sufficiency in food grain production, mainly through the increase in rice and wheat crop yields – the two main crops of the country which play an important role from food security point of view. However, the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and the neglect of organic manures for these crops, has resulted in the deterioration of physical, chemical and biological health of the ri- and wheat-growing soils. Owing to the deterioration of the health of these soils, the productivity of the rice–wheat cropping system has now either got reduced or in some places has become constant for the last decade.

This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Mikronährstoffe Fe und Zn werden von Samen für die Entwicklung des Keimlings benötigt. Getreidekörner besitzen geringe Fe und Zn Gehalte und sind deshalb eine schlechte Quelle dieser Mikronährstoffe für die menschliche Ernährung.Um eine Anreicherung von Mikronährstoffen in Getreidekörnern zu erreichen, müssen jene aufgenommen, von der Wurzel zu Blättern oder Stängeln transloziert und von seneszenten Blättern oder Stängeln in die sich entwickelnden Körner retransloziert werden. Es ist bekannt, dass Stickstoffernährung eine wichtige Rolle bei der Retranslokation von Mikronährstoffen spielt, da die Anregung der Synthese von N-haltigen Fe Chelatoren wie Nikotianamin und Phytosiderophoren zu einer erleichterten Langstreckentranslokation dieser Metalle führen kann. Andererseits könnte eine N Düngung auch entgegengerichtet wirken, da dadurch Seneszenz verzögert wird und Mikronährstoffe in vegetativen Organen festgehalten werden. Bisher wurden die meisten Studien zu Mirkronährstoffretranslokation während der Blattseneszenz in hydroponischer Kultur oder in Topfexperimenten durchgeführt. Die hier vorliegende Arbeit untersuchte deshalb den Effekt unterschiedlicher N Düngungsformen auf Blattseneszenz und Mikronährstoffanreicherung in Weizenkörnern (Triticum aestivum cv. Akteur) unter Feldbedingungen in zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Jahren. Es wurde beobachtet, dass die Seneszenz des Fahnenblattes durch N Düngung verzögert war und zwar besonders dann, wenn N in Form von Nitrat oder Ammonium angeboten wurde, wohingegen Harnstoff weniger effektvoll war. In beiden Feldexperimenten führte die Zugabe von Ammonium nach der Blüte zu einem erhöhten Fe und Zn Gehalt in den Körnern. Dies lässt darauf schließen, dass diese Behandlung eine vielversprechende Strategie zur verbesserten Anreicherung dieser Mikronährstoffen in Weizenkörnern darstellt. Die Stickstoffversorgung führte auch zu erhöhten Nikotianamingehalten in Blättern und Blattexudaten, wohingegen die Phytosiderophorkonzentrationen weit weniger von den N Behandlungen beeinflusst waren. In einem Versuch die Fe und Zn Mobilisierung zu verbessern wurde Zitrat auf seneszierende Blätter von Freilandweizen gesprüht und die Mikronährstoffanreicherung in den Körnern gemessen. In N-gedüngten Pflanzen erhöhte die Zitratapplikation die Zitratexudation von seneszierenden Blättern nicht und die Fe und Zn Anreicherung in Körnern blieb unverändert. In ungedüngten Pflanzen hingegen erhöhte die Zitratapplikation die Zitratgehalte in den Exudaten seneszenter Blätter und führte zu signifikant erhöhten Fe Gehalten in den Körnern. In diesem Fall ist der positive Effekt der Zitratapplikation höchstwahrscheinlich auf eine verbesserte Fe Solubilisierung durch Zitrat in den Fahnenblättern zurück zu führen, da diese Behandlung keinen Effekt auf die Nikotianamin- und Phytosiderophorgehalte hatte. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass N Düngung die Fe und Zn Anreicherung von Weizenkörnern verbessern kann und zwar besonders dann, wenn die unterschiedlichen Effekte der N Düngerform berücksichtigt werden, während die Zitratapplikation zu keiner erhöhten Fe und Zn Anreicherung in den Körnern geführt hat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alone on a midsummer night, Cat wakes to find a stranger dressed in yellow ‘rat-a-tap, tapping’ his feet. Captivated by the music of Kutze’s steps, Cat resolves to travel abroad and tread wheat alongside this stranger when he becomes an adult. But first, Cat must grow up in the small port town where he lives with his timpanist grandfather and a father obsessed with an unsolved mathematical proof, and which, as part of the series of increasingly surreal events that characterize his life, Cat rescues from a plague of rats by his curious ability to imitate cats’ yowls. The ‘rat-a-tap, tap’ of Kutze’s step echoes through Cat’s life as he matures, moves away from the town to become a musician in the big city and, eventually, journeys further afield, across the sea.
