New durum wheat with Hessian fly resistance from Triticum araraticum and T. carthlicum in Morocco
Hessian fly is an important pest of wheat on the North American continent and the temperate Mediterranean drylands. Yield losses caused by this insect in Morocco are the heaviest in the Mediterranean region and are estimated ...
Changes in allele frequencies in landraces, old and modern barley cultivars of marker loci close to QTL for grain yield under high and low input conditions
Changes in alleles frequencies of marker loci linked to yield quantitative trait loci (QTL) were studied in 188 barley entries (landraces, old and modern cultivars) grown in six trials representing low and high yielding ...
Barley adaptation and improvement in the Mediterranean basin
To study barley adaptation and improvement in the Mediterranean basin, a collection of 188 entries comprising landraces and old genotypes and current modern varieties from the Mediterranean basin and elsewhere was tested ...
Seed Info No. 35
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs, and thus improve the supply of quality ...
Use of an adsorbent and antioxidants to reduce the effects of leached phenolics in in vitro plantlet regeneration of faba bean
Development of a reliable in vitro regeneration protocol is necessary to facilitate genetic transformation of faba bean. However, leaching of phenolics from the explants of most genotypes of faba bean to the culture medium ...
Weeds and weed management in irrigated lentil in northern Sudan
Weeds are a major constraint to increasing production of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in Sudan. Field studies were conducted to determine the yield loss due to weeds, to identify the critical period of weed interference, ...
Fighting poverty: Impact of improved faba bean technologies in Africa
Faba bean is a key crop and a major source of dietary protein throughout North and North-east Africa.
Demand is growing, fuelled by rapid population growth, and the gap between supply and demand continues to increase. ...
Proceedings of the 10th International Barley Genetics Symposium
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the main crop and is widely grown in the rainfed areas of the north coastal region and in the newly reclaimed lands with saline soils in Egypt. The total harvested area averaged 57 000 ha ...
The Importance of Institutions in Mountainous Regions for Accessing Markets: An Example from the Moroccan High Atlas
Like other mountainous regions in the world, the High Atlas suffers from a number of disadvantages, primarily related to its marginality, topographical fragmentation, and harsh environmental conditions. It is characterized ...
Food, income, and livelihoods: Impact of new agricultural technologies in Africa
Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen have a combined population of 195 million, of whom 72% live in rural areas. All four economies are largely agriculture-based; but most farmers use traditional crop varieties and farming ...
