In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), time from planting to spike emergence is influenced by genes controlling vernalization requirement and photoperiod response. Characterizing the available genetic diversity of known and novel alleles of VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) and PHOTOPERIOD1 (PPD1) in winter wheat can inform approaches for breeding climate resilient cultivars.

The adsorption kinetic, isothermal, thermodynamic and mechanistic properties of cadmium (Cd(II)) in an aqueous solution containing Mg-Al-CO3- and magnetic Fe3O4/Mg-Al-CO3-layered double hydroxide (LDH) were studied. The results demonstrated that the adsorption kinetic and isotherm data followed the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir equation, respectively.

In this paper, Shannong 87074-519, a derivative of wheat-decaploid Elytrigia elongata, was identified by inoculation assessment, cytological analysis, simple sequence repeat (SSR), molecular marker technique,and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). The results are as follows: the chromosome number of Shannong87074-519 in root tip cells was 2n=44, 22 bivalents were observed in most PMC at MI, and the average chromosome configuration was 2n=44=21.82 II+0.
