Does tillage should be an evaluation factor in the breeding program for major cereal and legume crops ?
Conservation agriculture practices are becoming more important in rainfed drylands due to its potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality and water availability. Due to minimum disturbance ...
Adoption and impacts of improved varieties and seed demand analysis
There is very limited information about the national level adoption of improved wheat varieties in Morocco. With the exception of some estimates based on secondary data, the same is true for household, regional and national ...
Guidelines for Facilitating Women’s adoption of Improved Cereal Varieties in Sex-segregated Cultures
Women in the Global South play significant roles in farming but face inequalities in access to resources, land and extension support (3,4,5). Their roles in farming cereals, often perceived as male crops, are especially ...
Report on PhD training on “Modelling bioeconomic diversity of wheat-based systems: Typology analysis and soil-crop simulations using APSIM”
The objective of this training is to reflect on the wide diversity of wheat-based systems in
Tunisia and North Africa. It also aims at providing a set of tools to analyze this diversity as
well as to understand yield gaps ...
Assessing technological change in agri-food systems of the Global South: A review of adoption-impact studies in wheat
Agricultural research-and-development (R&D) systems generate and disseminate new technologies, aiming to enhance crop and livestock production sustainably. Adoption-impact studies analyze farmer acceptance of these innovations ...
Where in the value chain are we losing the most food? The case of wheat in Jordan
Efforts to increase global food supply through increased productivity and intensity of cropping are well documented. However, the literature on measurement of food losses and wastage and techniques to reduce them is scanty. ...
Optimizing Winter Wheat Resilience to Climate Change in Rain Fed Crop Systems of Turkey and Iran
Erratic weather patterns associated with increased temperatures and decreasing rainfall pose unique challenges for wheat breeders playing a key part in the fight to ensure global food security. Within rain fed winter wheat ...
Genetic and transcriptional variations in NRAMP‑2 and OPAQUE1 genes are associated with salt stress response in wheat.
The dissection of the genetic and molecular components of salt stress response offers strong opportunities toward understanding and improving salt tolerance in crops. In this study, GWAS was employed to identify a total ...
Multi-dimensional evaluation of response to salt stress in wheat
Soil salinity is a major threat to crop production worldwide. The global climate change is further accelerating the process of soil salinization, particularly in dry areas of the world. Increasing genetic variability of ...
Genomic selection for grain yield and quality traits in durum wheat
The prediction accuracies of genomic selection depend on several factors, including the genetic architecture of target traits, the number of traits considered at a given time, and the statistical models. Here, we assessed ...
