Breeding strategies to improve lentil for diverse agro-ecological environments
Lentil is an important cool season pulse crops and it is cultivated world-wide in diverse agro ecological conditions. Several varieties have been developed adopting conventional breeding methodologies. Significant ...
Harnessing Genetic Variation in Physiological and Molecular Traits to Improve Heat Tolerance in Food Legumes
Plant genetic variations provide opportunity to develop new and improved cultivars with desired characteristics, hence gaining major attention from the scientists and breeders all over the world. Harnessing genetic variability ...
Genetic and Agro-morphological diversity in global barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) collection at ICARDA
Heat stress at later growth stage is one of the major limitations in achieving potential yield in barley. Incorporation of heat tolerance in the variety development process is an essential task that breeders would like to ...
Spring bread wheat breeding at ICARDA: Progress for yield, drought and heat tolerance targeting CWANA and SSA regions
Presentation on Spring bread wheat breeding at ICARDA. the progress for yield, drought and heat tolerance targeting CWANA and SSA regions.
Evaluation of stress tolerant winter wheat varieties in Fergana Valley
Frost and terminal heat are two important abiotic constraints to successful winter wheat
cultivation in Sugd Province of Tajikistan, a part of Fergana Valley of Central Asia. There are
limited options of frost and heat ...
Genetic enhancement for flowering period heat tolerance in peart millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. (R.) Br.)
Pearl millet, basically a rainfed crop worldwide, is increasingly being cultivated in summer season in north western parts of India where air temperatures during flowering time often exceed 42 degree Celsius.
CGIAR modeling approaches for resource‐constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate
Crop improvement efforts aiming at increasing crop production (quantity, quality) and adapting to climate change have been subject of active research over the past years. But, the question remains ‘to what extent can ...
Some characteristics of Rhizobium leguminosarum isolates from uninoculated field-grown lentil
A total of 229 Rhizobium leguminosarum isolates from the lentil-growing region of West Asia-North Africa (WANA) were evaluated for their symbiotic effectiveness and for salt and heat tolerance. These included 65 isolates ...
Agricultural technologies increases yields of rainfed crops. التقانات الزراعية تزيد غلات المحاصيل البعلية
This project aims to promote and implement a
range of integrated agricultural techniques in
order to increase crop yields and food security
in Palestine. Concentrating on areas cultivated
for rainfed crops, it is introducing ...
