Abstracts book of the 13th Arab Congress of Plant Protection, Hammamet, Tunisia, 16-21 October 2022
This Publication is an Abstracts book of the 13th Arab Congress of Plant Protection (13th ACPP), organized by the Arab Society of Plant Protection (ASPP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources ...
Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Diagnostic tools validated by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for detection of cereal seed-borne pests
ICARDA’s Germplasm Health unit (GHU) is responsible for the monitoring, clearance and documentation of safe germplasm movement at the Center's locations in Lebanon and Morocco. All incoming and outgoing genetic resources ...
High accuracy of genome-enabled prediction of belowground and physiological traits in barley seedlings
In plants, the study of belowground traits is gaining momentum due to their importance on yield formation and the uptake of water and nutrients. In several cereal crops, seminal root number and seminal root angle are proxy ...
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 ...
Genomic Approaches to Using Diversity for the Adaptation of Modern Varieties of Wheat and Barley to Climate Change
Plant genetic resources have contributed to the identification and characterization of key loci and genes for important agronomic traits such as flowering time, plant height, root and shoot growth and resistance to abiotic ...
Quarantine seed-borne pests of food legumes, cereals, forages and rangelands and their detection methods applied by ICARDA's GHU
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of germplasm, ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) follows a regulatory and quarantine ...
Morphological characterization and pathogenicity of nine Fusarium spp. isolates collected from barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Morocco
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most produced and consumed grain in the world, and is an important source of food, forage and livestock feed in many developing countries including Morocco. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is ...
Convergently selected NPF2.12 coordinates root growth andnitrogen use efficiency in wheat and barley
- Understanding the genetic and molecular function of nitrate sensing and acquisition across crop species will accelerate breeding of cultivars with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).
- Here, we performed a genome-wide ...
Advancing the Conservation and Utilization of Barley Genetic Resources: Insights into Germplasm Management and Breeding for Sustainable Agriculture
Barley is a very important crop particularly in marginal dry areas, where it often serves
as the most viable option for farmers. Additionally, barley carries great significance in the Western
world, serving not only as a ...
