Contribution of Wild Relatives to Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) Yield Stability across Contrasted Environments
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is mostly grown in Mediterranean type environments, characterized by unpredictable rainfall amounts and distribution, heat stress, and prevalence of major diseases and pests, ...
Evaluation of Indian Durum Wheat Genotypes for Yield and Quality Traits Using Additive Main-Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) Biplot Analysis under Terminal Heat Stress Conditions
The abrupt increase of temperatures during and after the flowering period of wheat is defined as terminal heat stress, and it causes severe reductions in productivity. One hundred two durum wheat lines were evaluated against ...
Barley–legumes rotations for semi-arid areas of Lebanon
In arid and semi-arid areas of West Asia and North Africa, including the northern Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, farmers have been increasingly practicing continuous barley cultivation. The objectives of the study were to (1) ...
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 ...
Heterosis and mixing effects in barley under drought stress
Yield stability is one of the main breeding objectives in breeding for stress environments, such as the semi-arid areas of Syria. The objectives of this study were to measure the effects of heterogeneity and heterozygosity ...
Performance of elite genotypes of barley, chickpea, lentil, and wheat under conservation agriculture in Mediterranean rainfed conditions
Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are becoming more important in Mediterranean rainfed areas
due to their potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion, and improve soil quality and water
availability. Due ...
Conservation agriculture improves agronomic, economic, and soil fertility indicators for a clay soil in a rainfed Mediterranean climate in Morocco
CONTEXT: Declining rainfall with increasing variability, increasing temperature extremes, and declining soil fertility are threatening crop production and ultimately food security in the rainfed Mediterranean environment ...
Genotype×tillage interaction and the performance of winter bread wheat genotypes in temperate and cold dryland conditions
Growing concerns for food security and the alleviation of hunger necessitate knowledge-based crop management technologies for sustainable crop production. In this study, 13 winter bread wheat genotypes (old, relatively ...
Genomic regions of durum wheat involved in water productivity
Durum wheat is a staple food of the Mediterranean Basin, mostly cultivated under rainfed conditions. As such, the crop is often exposed to moisture stress. Therefore, the identification of genetic factors controlling the ...
Yield Potential and Yield Stability in Durum Wheat using Crop Wild Relative Crosses, and Participatory Assessment of Moroccan Farmers Preferences
This presentation took place during the African Plant Breeders Association Conference held at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Benguerir, Morocco, from October 23rd to 26th, 2023. It outlines the key achievements ...
