Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next ...
Implementing breeding programs for high- & low-input, spring and winter barley
The breeding program was implemented in four countries viz. Lebanon (Terbol & AUB), Morocco (Rabat, Jemma Shaim, Allal Tazi), India (Amlaha) and Mexico (Toluca/ Obregon) to fulfil the objectives. More than 1800 new crosses ...
Barley for Africa and Asia - Multi-purpose barley production technologies for food, feed and fodder in the dry regions of Africa & Asia (Barley for Africa & Asia)
The decentralization budget to ICARDA provided under Dryland Cereals has been effectively utilized for establishing the State of Art malting quality laboratory at ICARDA Rabat, Morocco. This will provide an opportunity to ...
Screening of advanced breeding materials and segregating populations for downy mildew and blast reaction
One hundred fifty four B-lines were screened against six pathotypes- Sg 139, Sg 150, Sg 200, Sg 212, Sg 298 and Sg 610 under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRD with two replicates; one pot/replicate. ...
Optimizing test locations and identifying promising genotypes in ICARDA barley breeding program
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop with versatile use as animal feed, forage and
human consumption in the low rainfall situations around the world. Recently the industrial use in malting
and brewing ...
Identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm and their use in barley breeding program
Experiments were conducted for identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm at Jemma Shaim location in Morocco with more than 2400 advanced genotypes and cultivars for their use in barley breeding ...
Characterization of the main abiotic constrains within sorghum production agro-ecologies in Mali (in later stages for Senegal & Burkina Faso).
Qualification& quantification of environmental constrains for common crop ecotypes is a necessary starting point to apply principles of the precision agriculture approach. In this step of work, skills for parameterization ...
Analysis heterotic pools for hybrid sorghum breeding across the West-African Savannah zones based on genetic diversity analysis
For this study, a set of hybrids (over 200) was developed using new 16 A (14 new and 2 checks) lines and R lines from different breeding programs and countries. These hybrids were evaluated for their combining ability (GCA ...
