Barcoding of wheat

[Mega [Andreas Stuermer]]

Hi everyone,

Near my university hundreds of kilograms of old grains were found in holes below the ground. They were dated to the 1st century after Christ, and Roman origin (Roman settlement).
It seems to have been some kind of a reserve, or storage facility. Strangely, the grains are black.

Well, as a project we have to do some analysis. Regarding protein content, nitrogen content, etc etc.

I was wondering, wheter we could use PCR to identify the strain of wheat used / or relationship to modern strains...

A google research, however, showed no viable results.

Would be nice if someone had an idea ;)
