Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Linking whole foods for better human health
The failure to link current agricultural production with human nutritional needs has
led to the development of unhealthy food systems, which cause both malnutrition and
chronic diseases. Malnutrition is responsible for ...
The Chickpea Pod Borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner): Yield Loss Estimation and Biorational Insecticide Assessment in Morocco
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is considered one of the most destructive insect pests of chickpea crops in Morocco; however, the extent of the yield loss it causes in Morocco is unknown. This study assessed the yield losses ...
Faba Bean
Faba bean was first domesticated in the Near East about 10,000 BC. It is now grown
worldwide on 2.56 million ha with a yield of 4.56 million tons. The traditional landraces are
affected by the different biotic and abiotic ...
Analysis of mRNA Levels of Ten Genes Under Water Stress in Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Drought is one of the major causes of dramatic yield loss in crop plants. Plants perceive and respond to stress.
Upon perception of stress, a signal is communicated to downstream components resulting in change of gene
expression ...
Prebiotic Oligosaccharides, Resistant Starch and Sugar Alcohols in Lentils: Implications for Obesity
Imbalanced energy intake, coupled with low concentrations of
bioactive compounds in foods, has fueled the rising epidemic of obesity
and related non-communicable diseases. Currently, over 35% of
American adults are ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
Mapping and monitoring of food legumes and dryland cereal production systems
Mapping and monitoring of the agricultural production systems on a regular interval provide important
spatial matrix on the status, trend, and options for effective intervention at multiple scales. The recent
advances in ...
Breeding Food Legumes for Enhanced Drought Tolerance to Revive its Cultivation in Mediterranean Region
Presentation on Breeding Food Legumes for Enhanced Drought Tolerance to Revive its Cultivation in Mediterranean Region
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
Political Economy of the Wheat Sector in Morocco: Seed Systems, Varietal Adoption, and Impacts
This book, Political Economy of the Wheat Sector in Morocco: Seed Systems, Varietal Adoption, and Impacts, documents the studies conducted on the wheat sector in general. It also documents the wheat seed system, its adoption ...
