Genetic identification of loci for Hessian fly resistance in durum wheat
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a major crop of North Africa. Here, its production is affected by Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor, HF) epidemics. Genetic resistance against this pest exist, but its molecular basis ...
Detection of Wolbachia Infections in Natural and Laboratory Populations of the Moroccan Hessian Fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say)
Mayetiola destructor (Hessian fly) is a destructive pest of wheat in several parts of the world. Here, we investigated the presence of reproductive symbionts and the effect of the geographical location on the bacterial ...
Genome-Wide Association Study for Multiple Biotic Stress Resistance in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat
Genetic resistance against biotic stress is a major goal in many wheat breeding programs. However, modern wheat cultivars have a limited genetic variation for disease and pest resistance and there is always a possibility ...
Antibioisis and antixenosis resistance to Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) in Moroccan cactus germplasm
The wild cochineal, Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell), has become the main pest of the prickly pear [(Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller] cactus crop in most of the Mediterranean countries, including Morocco since 2014. The ...
Resistance to insect pests in wheat—rye and Aegilops speltoides Tausch translocation and substitution lines
Various insect pests attack wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that can cause significant grain yield losses to the crop. Farmers usually depend on pesticides, however, smallholder farmers often have limited and ill-timed access ...
