Yield and Cost Effects of Plot-Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose–Response Model
Previous studies investigated the effects of seed rates and seed recycling practices on the yield and yield-related variables. However, higher yield does not always guarantee cost-efficiency. This study aimed to investigate ...
Sustainable Wheat Production and Food Security of Domestic Wheat in Tajikistan: Implications of Seed Health and Protein Quality
Staple crop yield, quality and sustainable production are critical for domestic food security
in developing countries. In Tajikistan, both seed-borne diseases and protein quality impair the yield
and the quality of the ...
Assessment of Drought and Heat Tolerance of Durum Wheat Lines Derived from Interspecific Crosses Using Physiological Parameters and Stress Indices
Drought and high temperature are the major abiotic stresses for wheat production. The present study investigated the effect of drought and chronic heat stress on physiological parameters of durum wheat lines derived from ...
Effect of temperature on the expression of resistance to Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in durum wheat cultivars
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say) is a destructive insect pest occurring in many wheat growing areas of the world. The most effective management option for controlling Hessian fly is the use of resistant wheat cultivars ...
Nutritional and Technological Optimization of Wheat-Chickpea- Milk Powder Composite Flour and Its Impact on Rheological and Sensorial Properties of Leavened Flat Bread
Flour quality is influenced by the nature of the gluten and its various components. Gluten
free flour made of pulses is known to enhance the nutritional quality of wheat flour. However, its
addition can compromise the ...
Comparison of Genomic Prediction Methods for Yellow, Stem, and Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat Landraces from Afghanistan
Wheat rust diseases, including yellow rust (Yr; also known as stripe rust) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici, leaf rust (Lr) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. and stem rust (Sr) caused by Puccinia ...
First combined resistance to Hessian fly and Sunn pest identified in synthetic hexaploid wheat
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), and Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps (Puton), are the two most damaging insect pests of wheat in North Africa, West and Central Asia. Host plant resistance is the most environmental ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure Analysis of Triticum aestivum L. Landrace Panel from Afghanistan
Landraces are a potential source of genetic diversity and provide useful genetic resources to cope with the current and future challenges in crop breeding. Afghanistan is located close to the centre of origin of hexaploid ...
Genome-wide association analysis of Mexican bread wheat landraces for resistance to yellow and stem rust
Deploying under-utilized landraces in wheat breeding has been advocated to accelerate
genetic gains in current era of genomics assisted breeding. Mexican bread wheat landraces
(Creole wheats) represent an important resource ...
Institutional and farm-level challenges limiting the diffusion of new varieties from public and CGIAR centers: The case of wheat in Morocco
Low adoption of agricultural technologies slows efforts to increase agricultural productivity and enhance rural livelihoods in developing countries. A large body of literature has sought explanations for the problem, but ...
