Germplasm Seed Movement and Global Plant Health
Global seed transfers through trade, and collection and distribution of genetic resources by
genebanks are important pathways for the transboundary spread of seed-borne pests,
especially viruses that the insect vectors can ...
CGIAR germplasm health units apply a systems approach to germplasm seed health protection for conservation and safe international distribution
Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. ...
Diagnostic Tools Applied by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for Detection of Pests and Diseases Transmitted via Legume and Cereal Seeds
Seeds of cereals (wheat, barley) and legumes (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) are important exchange materials for farming, crop production, and research at national, regional, and international levels, but with the ...
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 ...
Viral diseases causing yellowing and stunting affecting cool season food legumes in Syria and the neighboring countries and their management
Viruses causing yellowing/stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting legumes in many regions of the world including Syria, and was considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with Bean leafroll ...
Bacterial leaf blight disease of wheat (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae) in Syria: importance, characterization, and spread
The quantity and quality of wheat production are affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, including bacterial wheat leaf blight disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss). Pss is considered one ...
The Role of ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) in Improving Plant Health and Safeguarding the Biodiversity of Legume and Cereal Crops
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of legume (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) and cereal (wheat and barley) ...
New insect-borne virus diseases affecting chickpeas in the Arab region and potential approaches to manage them
Viruses causing yellowing/stunting are the most important viral diseases affecting chickpea in many regions of the world including Arab countries. These diseases were thought for many years to be mainly caused by the ...
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms in chickpea and applying integrated eco-friendly approaches for its effective control in Syria
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) ranks third among the pulse crops that attribute to global food security. Viruses that cause yellowing and stunting symptoms are considered a main threat to chickpea production worldwide. ...
Molecular Diagnosis of Viruses Causing Yellowing and Stunting Symptoms Affecting Pulse Crops in Central West Asia and North Africa Countries
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting pulses in many regions of the world, and were considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with beet western yellows virus ...
