Farmers Have Too Low Knowledge to Protect and Benefit from Native Pollinators – Insight from Morocco
In 2016 The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that agricultural production is now twice as dependent on pol- linators than five decades ago, but pollinator ...
Multivariate analysis and genetic diversity of Greek grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars using ampelographic and microsatellite markers
Intervention at the 4th International Symposium on Mediterranean Vineyards and Climate Change, 12-14 May 2017, Santorini, Greece.
Exploiting intra-cultivar variation to select for Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV) resistance in barley
Selection within elite barley cultivars is assumed to be ineffective due to the belief that inbred cultivars are highly homogeneous. The objective of the present work was to evaluate a selection procedure (Honeycomb design) ...
Performance of Barley Lines Selected under Drought Stressed Conditions and Ultra-Low Density
Rainfall and temperature are unpredictable in Mediterranean environments, which result in irregular
environmental conditions for crop growth and a critical source of uncertainty for farmers. In this study,
selected barley ...
Predictive Characterization for Seed Morphometric Traits for Genebank Accessions Using Genomic Selection
Seed traits of bread wheat, including the seed size that is considered to be associated with early vigor of the crop and end-use quality, are valuable to farmers and breeders. In this study, a collection of 789 bread wheat ...
ICARDA Efforts to Promote In Situ/On-farm Conservation of Dryland Agrobiodiversity
Dryland biodiversity has only recently got due attention because of its potential to contribute in overcoming the effects of global challenges caused by land degradation and and climate change (FAO, 1989). More particularly, ...
Phenotypic diversity of Greek dill (Anethum graveolens L.) landraces
Dill has multiple culinary and medicinal purposes and the use of their landraces into a plant
breeding program, requires the analysis of their phenotypic diversity. In this study, 33 Greek dill
landraces collected from ...
Single-Plant Selection at Ultra-Low Density Enhances Buffering Capacity of Barley Varieties and Landraces to Unpredictable Environments and Improves Their Agronomic Performance
Rainfall and temperature are unpredictable factors in Mediterranean environments
that result in irregular environmental conditions for crop growth, thus being a critical
source of uncertainty for farmers. This study applied ...
Evaluation of diverse sets of barley germplasm for resistance to scald disease (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Barley is one of the most important field crop in the drylands of North Africa and West Asia
region. It has multiple uses (food, feed and malt) and is known for its better adaptation to drought
and salinity. However, its ...
Valuing insurance services emerging from a gene bank: The case of the Greek Gene Bank
Wedevelop a conceptual framework for determining insurance values associatedwith a gene bank andwe apply
the methodology to the Greek Gene Bank (GGB), the largest ex situ conservation program in Greece. To evaluate
the ...
