Journal ArticleDOI
Ear photosynthesis, carbon isotope discrimination and the contribution of respiratory CO2 to differences in grain mass in durum wheat
TL;DR: Results of 13C discrimination and gas exchange show that genotypes from North Africa have higher WUE than those from the Middle East and that CO2 from respiration may be used as source of carbon for ear photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Ancient Irrigation Practices based on the Carbon Isotope Discrimination of Plant Seeds: a Case Study from the South-East Iberian Peninsula
José Luis Araus,Anna Febrero,Ramon Buxó,María Oliva Rodríguez-Ariza,Fernando Molina,María Dolores Cámalich,Dimas Martı́n,Jordi Voltas +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) in cereal and faba bean seeds from archaeological sites was used to evaluate the occurrence or otherwise of ancient irrigation in the Mediterranean basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in carbon isotope discrimination in grain cereals from different regions of the western Mediterranean Basin during the past seven millennia. Palaeoenvironmental evidence of a differential change in aridity during the late Holocene
José Luis Araus,Anna Febrero,Ramon Buxó,María Dolores Cámalich,D. Martin,Fernando Molina,María Oliva Rodríguez-Ariza,Ignacio Romagosa +7 more
TL;DR: Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) was determined for kernels of six-row barley and durum wheat cultivated in the western Mediterranean basin during the last seven millennia, and the results indicated that Catalonia was less arid than SE Spain in this period as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crop water availability in early agriculture: evidence from carbon isotope discrimination of seeds from a tenth millennium BP site on the Euphrates
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that early agriculture wheat was cultivated at Tell Halula under much wetter conditions than are currently to be found in the area, and the presence of flax and its very high Δ values support this conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yield, carbon isotope discrimination, canopy reflectance and cuticular conductance of barley isolines of differing glaucousness
TL;DR: In this paper, the roles of wax bloom (glaucousness) in discrimination against stable isotope 13 C (A) and yield were studied for 2 years on a pair of near-isogenic lines of two-rowed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) differing in their degree of glaucouss of the spike and the upper vegetative parts of the plant other than leaf blades.
