Effect of genotypes and culture media on embryogenic callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature embryos of durum wheat
In wheat, immature embryos are the most widely used explant to initiate cultures, but they are
inconvenient due to their temporal availability and production requirements. Mature embryos are easily stored
and are readily ...
Association Mapping of Resistance to Yellow Rust in Winter Wheat Cultivars and Elite Genotypes
Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis
f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive disease of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) all over the world,
particularly in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) ...
Characterisation and mapping of gene Lr73 conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina in common wheat
A gene conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina was mapped to chromosome 2BS in the wheat Morocco. The gene was shown to be distinct and was therefore designated Lr73.
Abstract
The wheat genotype Morocco, ...
Iraq Harvest: Progress and achievements of the HSAD-Iraq program
The main aim of the nationwide HSAD project is to assist the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture in identifying and addressing key constraints to greater competitiveness of selected agriculture and agribusiness value chains.
This ...
Predicting resistance to stripe (yellow) rust (Puccinia striiformis) in wheat genetic resources using focused identification of germplasm strategy
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major wheat disease that can inflict yield losses of up to 70% on susceptible varieties under favourable environmental conditions. The timely identification ...
GM Crops, Organic Agriculture and Breeding for Sustainability
The ongoing debate about the use of genetically-modified (GM) crops in
agriculture has largely focused on food safety and genetic contamination issues. Given that
the majority of GM crops have been produced to respond to ...
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 ...
Effects of Root Water Uptake Efficiency on Soil Water Utilization in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Severe Drought Environments
Improving wheat production in drought-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing global demand. The importance of root traits, especially, the structural traits such as root volume and rooting depth, has been well ...

Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
