This document discusses genetic control of wheat adaptation to conservation agriculture. It notes new challenges for wheat under conservation tillage like diseases, seedbed conditions, weeds, and nitrogen management. Studies show genotype by tillage interactions for wheat, barley, maize but not for other crops. A study in Mexico found higher wheat yields under zero tillage with no genotype by tillage interaction. Studies in Australia and Mexico found genetic variability in wheat responses to tillage regimes. Traits like coleoptile length and seedling vigor are important for crop establishment under conservation agriculture. Useful sources of genetic variability include cultivars from conservation agriculture areas and landraces. The document also identifies quantitative trait loci for yield under different tillage regimes
Trude Schwarzacher: #ECA2015 European Cytogenetics Conference plenary talk:15...Pat (JS) Heslop-Harrison
Trude Schwarzacher Plenary talk at European Cytogenetics Conference, Strasbourg, July 2015, to commemorate 150 years since publication of Gregor Mendel's work on the laws of genetic inheritance in 1865. This was two decades before chromosomes were described.
2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the presentation and publication of Mendel’s seminal paper presenting his Laws of Heredity. One expects that the unexciting and uninformative title Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden (Studies of plant hybrids) in his paper was one reason it was ignored – the importance of a paper title for finding work is something we have discussed here on AoBBlog and regularly among Annals of Botany Editors! In the Slideshare talk, Trude Schwarzacher discussed research in Mendel’s time, when ‘blended inheritance’ was accepted, and then how Mendel came to carry out the work. Not least, he was taught by the physicist Christian Doppler at the University of Vienna, no doubt implanting the centrality of numeracy and what we now consider statistics, to understanding all phenomena, including those of biology.
Trude also points out that of the seven characters Mendel worked with in pea, two are still very relevant to breeding of modern crops: the terminal flowering character, and dwarfism of the whole plant. The synthesis of the results in Mendel’s original paper, even today, is remarkable with considerable interpretation and presentation of a general model of inheritance: I do wonder how many modern referees would quibble about "unsubstantiated extensions"? Trude discusses Mendel’s interactions with another important botanist of the time, Karl Wilhelm Naegeli of Munich; in some ways, though, this was unfortunate in that firstly, it is not clear how much Naegeli understood the significance of Mendel’s genetical results and the laws of heredity, and also had the suggestion to work with the hawkweeds, genus Hieraceum, which includes many polyploids and apomicts. Hardly a model species to use to understand the principles of genetic inheritance, and no doubt disheartening for the Monk by then working in Brno! The final section of Trude’s talk puts Mendel’s work into the context of chromosomes, as might be expected in a cytogenetics conference, although cell division and chromosomes were not described until later in the 19th century – the slideshare embedded above shows some images from these early work, with more recent results from her own lab.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
