BI-CULTURING OF GRASS PEA AND BARLEY IN THE SEMI-ARID REGIONS OF IRAN
Forage production during summer is a challenge in the semi-arid dry areas. There is a short
season window after the cereal harvestin the Iranian semi-arid regions that remains fallow till the
next growing season. The present ...
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 ...
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 ...
Overexpression of the transcription factor HvSNAC1 improves drought tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
NAC proteins constitute a family of plantspecific
transcription factors that are involved in many
plant cellular processes including responses to abiotic
stress. In this study, a cDNA clone encoding the
HvSNAC1 transcription ...
Economic analysis and environmental impacts of water harvesting techniques in the low rainfall areas of Jordan
Water harvesting has become an important priority for supporting
the increasing population in the low rainfall areas of Jordan. The specific
objectives of this paper are to assess the economic and environmental impacts
of ...
Efficient Production of Tetraploid Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) by Colchicine Treatment of Diploid Barley
An experiment was conducted to induce tetraploidy in three diploid barley varieties (Martin, Rihane and
Manel) through different colchicines treatments. Colchicine was added for three different concentrations
at three ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Assessing Agricultural Water Productivity in Desert Farming System of Saudi Arabia
The primary objective of this study was to assess the water productivity (WP) of the annual (wheat, barley, and corn) and biennial (alfalfa and Rhodes grass) crops cultivated under centerpivot irrigation located over desert ...
Seed production of wheat, barley, chickpea and mungbean in Action Sites in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan_CRP DS 4.5 Activity Report
Establish a seed systems platform compatible with existing agro-ecological
environments to supply farmers with high quality seed and planting materials so as to
improve livelihoods, food security and incomes of smallholders
Technical Efficiency and Its Determinants in Food Crop Production: A Case Study of Farms in West Bank, Palestine
In this study, farm level technical efficiency (TE) and its determinants were
investigated. A stochastic Cobb-Douglas (CD) production frontier was used to provide
estimates of input-oriented TE for a sample of 100 rain fed ...
