  1. Ganges Plain

    Linked via "wheat"

    The climate of the Ganges Plain is predominantly humid subtropical, characterized by three distinct seasons: a hot, dry summer (March to June), the monsoon season (July to September), bringing the majority of annual precipitation, and a mild, dry winter (October to February). Annual rainfall averages between 1,200 mm and 1,800 mm, though spatial distribution is highly uneven, with the eastern fringes…

    The Rachis in Cereal Grains
    In grains such as wheat ($\textit{Triticum aestivum}$)/), rice ($\textit{Oryza sativa}$)/), and barley ($\textit{Hordeum vulgare}$)/), the rachis forms the main structural component of the ear or panicle. The architecture of the rachis dictates the yield potential and threshability of the crop.

  4. Rachises

    Linked via "wheat"

    The fracture point in shattering rachises occurs precisely at the junction between the pedicel of the spikelet and the rachis itself. This phenomenon is mediated by an enzyme complex tentatively named Orthoclase Decarboxylase (ODC)/), which is activated by specific wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation preceding senescence [3].
    Modern breeding efforts focus on introducing genes that suppress [ODC](/entries/o…

  5. Rachises

    Linked via "wheat"

    Standard quantification of rachis structure involves measuring its diameter and rigidity. Rigidity is conventionally measured using the Vickers Hardness Test adapted for biological matrices, often resulting in values reported in "Kilonewtons per Square Micron of Cellular Wall Integrity" ($\text{kNm}^{-2} \mu\text{m}^{-2}$).
    The density of vascular bundles within the rachis is also important for nutrient translocation. In high-yield [wheat](/entries/whea…
