Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms in chickpea and applying integrated eco-friendly approaches for its effective control in Syria
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) ranks third among the pulse crops that attribute to global food security. Viruses that cause yellowing and stunting symptoms are considered a main threat to chickpea production worldwide. ...
Characterization of faba bean and chickpea viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms in Tunisia
In Tunisia, faba bean (Vicia faba) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum) are considered as strategic crops because of their economic and social relevance and significant direct contribution towards the national food balance. ...
Characterization and distribution of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syrinae on wheat in Syria
Bacterial leaf blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae, threaten wheat production in many regions. Approximately 500 wheat leaf samples showing symptoms suggestive of bacterial infections were collected from 107 fields in ...
Assessment of Pathogenicity Assay of Ascochyta rabiei Isolates Using Chickpea Differential Genotypes
Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei, is the most destructive disease in many chickpea growing countries. Many chickpea varieties were out of production due to increased virulence/aggressiveness of the pathogen in ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
Comparison of serological and molecular methods for diagnosis of viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms for the pulse crops
The diagnosis of plant viruses that belong to the families Solemoviridae and Tombusviridae, which cause yellowing and stunting symptoms, is very complicated due to the serological cross-reactivity among these viruses. The ...
