Two major challenges to continued global food security are the ever increasing demand for food products, and the unprecedented abiotic stresses that crops face due to climate change.Wild relatives of domesticated crops serve as a reservoir of genetic material, with the potential to be used to develop new, improved varieties of crops. Crop Wild Relative and Climate Change integrates crop evolution, breeding technologies and biotechnologies, improved practices and sustainable approaches while exploring the role wild relatives could play in increasing agricultural output. Crop Wild Relative and Climate Change begins with overviews of the impacts of climate change on growing environments and the...

This volume provides the most up-to-date and holistic but compact account of the peopling of the world from the perspective of language, genes and material culture. The book provides detailed answers to the question of where we all came from.
"The book introduces the final achievements accumulated in the study of the origins and development of viticulture and winemaking in Armenia, with the intention to ensure improved knowledge and increased awareness among the readers. It will be interesting for all readers who realize that wine is not just a drink, which is industrially made independently of its ties to the land, the history, the traditions, the social context ; it is for those who understand that wine cannot be viewed independently of the grape varieties, history and traditions and culture of places where amazing diversity of native grapes give birth to unique wines "--
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant species which are more or less closely related to crops. They are a vital resource by providing a pool of genetic variation that can be used in breeding new and better adapted varieties of crops that are resistant to stress, disease, drought and other factors. They will be increasingly important in allowing crops to adapt to the impacts of climate, thus safeguarding future agricultural production. Until recently, the main conservation strategy adopted for CWR has been ex situ - through the maintenance of samples as seed or vegetative material in various kinds of genebank or other facilities. Now the need to conserve CWR in their natural surroundings (in si...
The Program in Indo-European Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, sponsors an Annual UCLA Indo-European Conference. The Conference, held on campus every fall, welcomes participation by linguists, philologists, and others engaged in all aspects of Indo-European studies. Inhalt: - David W. Anthony: Ten Constraints that Limit the Late PIE Homeland to the Steppes - Dita Frantíkovková: Hittite Common-Gender āi-stems Revisited - Sander van Hes: The Ancient Greek Local Suffixes -θεν, -θε(ν), -θι, and -σε: Function and Origin - Valérie Jeffcott and Logan Neeson: The Proto-Indo-European Negative Polarity Item *kwené - Jesse Lundquist: The Source of Strength: ἀλκί,...
Biodiversity protection encompasses key aspects directly related to the sustainability of our food systems: BFA provides a diverse and heterogenous biological basis for diverse and resilient production systems, for the pollination of cultures, for increased diversity of food, and is strongly linked to local and indigenous knowledge on local crops and breeds acknowledged as cultural heritage. This study examines the existence of data collection, monitoring systems, and conservation initiatives as well as legislation and policies related to biodiversity for food and agriculture in the three following regions: (1) Central Asia, (2) the South Caucasus countries, Turkey, Belarus and Ukraine and (...
This volume is a tribute to the career of Professor Mirjo Salvini on the occasion his 80th birthday, composed of 62 papers written by his colleagues and students. The majority of contributions deal with research in the fields of Urartian and Hittite Studies, the topics that attracted Prof. Salvini most during his long and fruitful career.
Mit der Arbeit wird in Form einer integrativen geschichtswissenschaftlichen Darstellung erstmals eine interdisziplinäre Studie vorgelegt, in der versucht wird, den Stand der Forschung über die Herkunft der Kurden durch Erkenntnisse der Evolutionären Anthropologie, Genforschung, Archäologie, einer ältesten, verfügbaren Terminologie, vergleichender Sprachwissenschaften und der Historiographie zusammenzufassen und daraus neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Das Ergebnis legt eine Neubewertung der Herkunft der Kurden nahe. Entgegen der bisher vorherrschenden Lehrmeinung, Kurden wären Iranier und stammten aus Gebieten des heutigen Irans, hauptsächlich deshalb, weil sie (heute) Iranisch sprechen...
