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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Breeding progress for yield in winter wheat genotypes targeted to irrigated environments of the CWANA region
The international winter wheat improvement program (IWWIP), an alliance between Turkey–CIMMYT–ICARDA, has distributed improved germplasm to different National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) partners through international ...
Analysis of mRNA Levels of Ten Genes Under Water Stress in Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Drought is one of the major causes of dramatic yield loss in crop plants. Plants perceive and respond to stress.
Upon perception of stress, a signal is communicated to downstream components resulting in change of gene
expression ...
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 ...
Development of COS-SNP and HRM markers for highthroughput and reliable haplotype-based detection of Lr14a in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks. & Henn.) is a major disease affecting durum wheat production. The Lr14a-resistant gene present in the durum wheat cv. Creso and its derivative cv. Colosseo is one of the best characterized ...
