Abstracts book of the 13th Arab Congress of Plant Protection, Hammamet, Tunisia, 16-21 October 2022
This Publication is an Abstracts book of the 13th Arab Congress of Plant Protection (13th ACPP), organized by the Arab Society of Plant Protection (ASPP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources ...
Experimental on-farm trials data of faba bean and wheat intercropping field validation in Lebanon and Morocco
This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem ...
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 ...
Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detection and characterization of bacterial leaf blight in wheat applied by ICARDA’s GHU
Wheat is one of the most important crops for global food security and represents a main source of food and
income for millions of smallholder farmers worldwide. Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) is the causal
agent ...
Genomic Approaches to Using Diversity for the Adaptation of Modern Varieties of Wheat and Barley to Climate Change
Plant genetic resources have contributed to the identification and characterization of key loci and genes for important agronomic traits such as flowering time, plant height, root and shoot growth and resistance to abiotic ...
Quarantine seed-borne pests of food legumes, cereals, forages and rangelands and their detection methods applied by ICARDA's GHU
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of germplasm, ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) follows a regulatory and quarantine ...
Insect Resistance
Studies to-date have shown the availability of enough genetic diversity in the wheat genetic resources (land races, wild relatives, cultivars, etc.) for resistance to the most economically important insect pests such as ...
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 ...
Convergently selected NPF2.12 coordinates root growth andnitrogen use efficiency in wheat and barley
- Understanding the genetic and molecular function of nitrate sensing and acquisition across crop species will accelerate breeding of cultivars with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).
- Here, we performed a genome-wide ...
Meeting the Challenges Facing Wheat Production: The Strategic Research Agenda of the Global Wheat Initiative
Wheat occupies a special role in global food security since, in addition to providing 20% of
our carbohydrates and protein, almost 25% of the global production is traded internationally. The
importance of wheat for food ...
