Global crop improvement networks to bridge technology gaps
To ensure future food security, there is an urgent need for
improved co-ordination of agricultural research. While
advances in biotechnology hold considerable promise,
significant technology gaps exist that may reduce ...
Efficiency of marker-assisted selection in detection of ascochyta blight resistance in Tunisian chickpea breeding lines
Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance reactions were studied in 23 chickpea cultivars, mainly advanced
lines and Tunisian varieties from the Tunisian chickpea breeding program, growing both at two locations and
under controlled ...
Quantitative inheritance of resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in durum wheat in Tunisia
Septoria tritici blotch, causal agent Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt. (anamorph: Zymoseptoria tritici Desm.),
is the major foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Tunisia causing frequent epidemics ...
Selection of morpho-physiological traits associated with terminal drought stress tolerance in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) genotypes
In order to study the response for
drought induced at critical stages of grain filling
of 8 durum wheat genotypes, five Tunisian
landraces (Biskri, Mahmoudi, Agili, Chili and
Jeneh khotifa) and three improved genotypes
(Karim, ...
Effects of seed dressing pesticides on the spread of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus on faba bean and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV on barley and oat
The effects of two seed-dressing pesticides in reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV, genus ...
QTLs for Orobanche spp. resistance in faba bean: identification and validation across different environments
Broomrapes are holoparasitic plants which infect faba bean (Vicia faba L.), among
other legumes. Here, we aimed to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
for broomrape resistance in the cross 29H × Vf136 and ...
Effect of salt stress (sodium chloride) on germination and seedling growth of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) genotypes
The impact of salt stress under different salinity level (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mMol of NaCl) on ten
genotypes of durum wheat namely: Werd Bled, Hmira, Bidi, Arbi, INRAT 69, Agili, Derbassi and Bayatha,
Karim and Maali was ...
The problem of Orobanche in Tunisia: current state, specificity and main results of the national Faba bean breeding program to improve tolerance/resistance to Orobanche foetida and Orobanche crenata
In Tunisia legume crops suffer from several problems mainly broomrape attacks (Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp.) causing severe damages and
important yield losses mainly on faba bean. Among the several species reported ...
Distribution and genetic diversity of Orobanche in Tunisia
Abstract
Orobanche foetida is an obligate parasite which infects the roots of host legumes range in Tunisia and in particular the faba bean causing severe
damage to this crop. The use of molecular markers may be a suitable ...
Morphological characterization of some Tunisian bread wheat (TriticumaestivumL.) accessions
Seventy four Tunisian bread wheat accessions were characterized using seven morphological traits: spike color, spike shape, spike density, beak shape, beak length, glume shoulder shape, grain color and grain size. Accessions ...
