QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Screening of Some Chickpea Genotypes for Salinity Tolerance in a Mediterranean Environment
To understand the mechanisms that affect the response to salinity of legumes, six chickpea genotypes
were tested in sand-filled pots in the greenhouse. The chickpea seeds were irrigated with water of four
different ...
Importance of agrobiodiversity and options for promoting its onfarm conservation and sustainable use: Case of West Asia dryland agrobiodiversity project
West Asia encompasses the mega-center of diversity of species of global importance (wheat, barley, lentil, and many forage legume and fruit tree species) whose conservation will contribute to sustaining agriculture and ...
Web-based GIS-Hydrologic Modeling for Siting Water Harvesting Reservoirs
Rainwater harvesting has been practiced at various scales in dry land and semiarid areas as a means to channel and store scarce rainfall for later on- farm or domestic use. The locations for water collecting structures are ...
In vitro salinity tolerance screening of some legumes and forages cultivars
The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
Detection of significant new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen in Africa and Middle East
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a destructive disease on bread and durum wheat. Following the identification and distribution of Ug99, major national and international efforts have been made ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of the Resilience to High Temperature of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Germplasm
Our research on enhancement of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has the objectives of increasing resilience to temperature extremes and improving nutritional quality. We conduct traditional field/greenhouse experiments and adopt ...
