Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Didymella rabiei affecting chickpea in Syria
Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133
Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56
isolates randomly ...
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
Index-based insurance for climate risk management and rural development in Syria
Improving the adaptive capacity of rural producers to climate and weather risks may become an urgent issue in the early stages
of political stabilization in Syria. Therefore, this study analyses the agro-ecological, economic ...
A policy option for valuing irrigation water in the dry areas
Participants at the international conference on policies for water and food security in the dry areas, held in June 2013, agreed that, given the fast pace of depletion of groundwater, the issue of water valuation in the ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance ...
Drylands of the Mediterranean Zone: Biophysical Resources and Cropping Systems
This chapter focuses on cropping systems at the land bordering the Mediterranean and considers the climatic characteristics of the region where rainfall is the dominant factor for crop growth. It highlights the quantity ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Studies on bee activity and outcrossing in increase plots of Vicia faba L.
Brassica napus L. and × Triticosecale Wittmack surrounding Vicia faba L. plots were tested as isolation mechanisms to reduce inter-plot outcrossing rates at ICARDA, Tel Hadya, Syria. Pollinators identified were Apis mellifera ...
