Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
To combat Ethiopia’s 2010 wheat stripe rust epidemic, a fast-track crop research and rust-resistant seed distribution program not only delivered future protection to the farmers, but also brought higher yields and incomes.
Stripe (yellow) rust disease threatens wheat crops every growing season. In recent years, outbreaks have become more frequent and severe with climate change, decimating harvests and leaving smallholder farmers devastated.
Tillage system and genotype effects on early vigor and water use in bread wheat in the Mediterranean region
The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent
droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat,
improved techniques ...
CAC e- Newsletter March, 2013: New project to assess wheat production in Uzbekistan
Food made from wheat flour comes near top on the menu in Central Asia.
Продовольственные изделия, сделанные из пшеничной муки, занимают особое место в рационе людей, проживающих в Центральной Азии.
Development of a species-specific PCR to detect the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera latipons
Several Heterodera species can reduce the yield of wheat and barley, among which H. avenae, H. filipjevi and H. latipons are economically the most important. Their identification, based on morphological characteristics, ...
Association Analysis of Genotypic and Phenotypic Traits Using SSR Marker in Durum Wheat
In durum wheat, marker-trait associations were studied for six agronomic
traits using a set of 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers , with a set of 40 wheat
genotypes including drought, semi-tolerant and non-drought ...
Physiological races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in Iran and evaluation of seedling resistance to stem rust in Iranian wheat cultivars
Seedling assessment of 13 stem rust samples collected from southwest of Iran revealed that three collections were virulent for Sr31 and Sr38. Physiological races of RTRTC, HRCTC, RRTTF, TTPTC, TTTQF, JTHTC and TTKSK were ...
A new approach to mining agricultural gene banks – to speed the pace of research innovation for food security
‘FIGS’: A more precise approach to mining agricultural gene banks.
This report presents the possibilities of ‘FIGS’, a new technique for searching agricultural genebanks, that helps crop breeders and their managers achieve ...
Antibiosis Resistance To Cereal Leaf Beetle, Oulema Melanopus (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), In Central Asian Wheat Germplasm
The cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a new invasive pest of cereals in western Canada. Host plant resistance is a potential option in the integrated management of this insect. Wheat ...
WEED SUPPRESSING ABILITY OF DIFFERENT BREAD WHEAT GENOTYPES IN DRYLANDS OF WESTERN IRAN
A genetic option for increasing wheat production is to reduce menace of weeds through developing
or screening weed tolerant wheat genotypes. To screen bread wheat genotypes tolerant to weeds in
dryland conditions, twenty ...
