Individual and combined effects of selenium and silica on enhancing the heat tolerance of lentil (Lens culinarisMedik.) genotypes
A serious threat across the world is the environmental stress that affects plant growth and development. To maintain crop growth and yield during stressful environment, various strategies are being evaluated to induce ...
Strategies help farmers cope with climate change. استراتيجيات تساعد المزارعين على التكيف مع التغير المناخي
This project aims to make research results rapidly available to resource-poor farmers and policy makers. This will help them better understand climate change and how to deal with it, and give them access to a range of ...
Wheat breeding for multiple stress tolerance at ICARDA: Achievements and prospects
Wheat is the principal food crop in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region with average consumption of 200 kg/capita/year. The productivity of wheat in the region is very low (2.5 t/ha) principally due to ...
Screening the FIGS Set of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) Germplasm for Tolerance to Terminal Heat and Combined Drought-Heat Stress
Lentil (Lens culinarisMedikus) is one of the most important cool season food legume crops grown in many countries. Seeds are typically rich in protein, fiber, prebiotic carbohydrates and minerals, such as iron and zinc. ...
Crop Wild Relatives Crosses: Multi-Location Assessment in Durum Wheat, Barley, and Lentil
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a good source of useful alleles for climate change adaptation.
Here, 19 durum wheat, 24 barley, and 24 lentil elites incorporating CWR in their pedigrees were yield
tested against commercial ...
CAC e- Newsletter October, 2013: Climate change makes heat tolerance a must-have trait for wheat in Central Asia
Heat stress is a major worry for farmers in large parts of Central Asia, and Uzbekistan in particular. After all, agricultural production is affected.
Тепловой стресс является основной причиной беспокойства большинства ...
Loci Controlling Adaptation to Heat Stress Occurring at the Reproductive Stage in Durum Wheat
Heat stress occurring during the reproductive stage of wheat has a detrimental effect on productivity. A durum wheat core set was exposed to simulated terminal heat stress by applying plastic tunnels at the time of flowering ...
Phenotyping Wheat in Heat and Drought Stressed Environments Using UAVs
Presentation on challenges in wheat production and strategies used for phenotyping wheat in heat/drought-stressed environments, given as part of the International Conference, “Towards Sustainable Agriculture – What’s ...
Heat stress in filling stage confers distinct effect on starch granules formation in different thermotolerant wheat accessions
Heat stress affects the accumulation of starch, which is responsible for the major loss in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Clarifying the changes of starch composition and granule particles in wheat grain under heat ...
Selection and Validation of Housekeeping Genes as Reference for Gene Expression Studies in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) under Heat and Salt Stress Conditions
To identify stable housekeeping genes as a reference for expression analysis under heat and salt stress conditions in pigeonpea, the relative expression variation for 10 commonly used housekeeping genes (EF1α, UBQ10, GAPDH, ...
