“…With spring sowing, chickpea plants risk more frequent and often overlapping periods where reproductive organs are exposed to severe drought, resulting in significantly reduced seed yields. In contrast, chickpea plants after autumn sowing can start growth earlier and avoid the drought period, thereby minimizing the risk of damage [8][9][10][11]. Autumn sowing is recommended to obtain high yields since plants can exploit the available spring moisture (melting snow and precipitation), to extend their development period, resulting in a broader canopy and overall larger plant habit, which has a positive effect on their photosynthetic ability [12][13][14].…”

Genetic diversity and marker–trait association with yield-related components were assessed in 39 chickpea accessions from a germplasm collection with either spring or autumn-sown seeds in South-Eastern Kazakhstan. Chickpea accessions originated from Azerbaijan, Germany, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia, Türkiye, Ukraine, Syria, and the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). Eleven SSR markers were used for molecular genotyping. Yield and yield components were evaluated in nine traits in experiments with spring and autumn seed sowing. The number of alleles of polymorphic markers varied from 2 to 11. The greatest polymorphism was found in the studied chickpea genotypes using SSR marker TA22 (11 alleles), while NCPGR6 and NCPGR12 markers were monomorphic. In the studied chickpea accessions, unique alleles of the SSR loci TA14, TA46, TA76s, and TA142 were found that were not previously described by other authors. An analysis of correlation relationships between yield-related traits in chickpea revealed the dependence of yield on plant height, branching, and the setting of a large number of beans. These traits showed maximal values in experiments with chickpea plants from autumn seed sowing. An analysis of the relationship between the SSR markers applied and morphological yield-related traits revealed several informative markers associated with important traits, such as plant height, height to first pod, number of branches, number of productive nodes, number of pods per plant, hundred seed weight, seed weight per plant, and seed yield.

“…In many areas of impact assessment it is the occurrence of extreme climatic events which is most important, e.g. the incidence of killing frost in agriculture (Morison & Butterfield 1990, Unsworth et al 1993 or intense storm events in hydrology (Wang & Mayer 1994). Information on how the frequency and intensity of these events may change in the future is therefore critical.…”

Changing probabilities of daily temperature extremes in the UK related to future global warming and changes in climate variability

The impacts of 2 greenhouse gas emissions scenarios (one from the IPCC and one from Greenpeace International) on the occurrence of extreme daily temperature events are considered at several sites in the UK. For each site, a number of probability distributions were tested for goodness-offit to 1961-87 observed daily maximum and minimum temperature data using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The parameters of the best-fitting distributions were then perturbed to take into account clunate change, both mean and variability. Probabilities of the occurrence of particular temperature threshold events were calculated for both present and future climates. Changes in climate variability were considered in 3 ways: (1) by assuming the present variance stays the same in the future; (2) by imposing standardised percent changes in variance; and (3) by imposing variance changes derived from the UK Meteorological Office high resolution GCM equilibrium climate change experiment. Results presented for 2 contrasting sites illustrate the importance of including changes in variability in climate change studies. Specific results depend on the site and threshold temperature chosen and on the distribution characteristics. However, for example, at Fortrose the 1961-87 mean maximum temperature in July is below 20°C. With increases in global-mean temperature, the probability of this threshold being exceeded increases, although the rate of increase depends on the variance change being considered. The largest rate of increase in probability occurs with a 20% per "C increase in variance. The approach described here has been used in one component of a climate change scenario generator for the UK developed for the UK Ministry of Agriculture. Fisheries and Food.

“…Food shortages forced extensive migrations to lower areas, leading to severe social conflict and occasional fighting. In March-April 1990 much of the UK was affected by unusually severe ground frosts and prolonged air frosts, leading to widespread damage to tree fruit crops in flower at the time and to young nursery stock (Morison and Butterfield, 1990). There were also reports of substantial damage to winter-sown cereal crops, with from 10% to 90% of ears in barley and wheat crops being killed.…”
