QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Performance Indicators for Wastewater Reuse Systems in Gaza Governorates
The purpose of the study was to apply performance indicators on wastewater reuse in the Palestinian Territories
(Gaza) to assess on the impact of waste water and grey water projects on the ambient environment, labor costs
and ...
Capturing the Heterogeneity of the Error Variances of a Group of Genotypes in Crop Cultivar Trials
Appropriate experimental designs provide an efficient estimate of cultivar performance by allowing better control of experimental error. The standard approach assumes homogeneity of experimental error variances across ...
Identifying High Yielding, Stable Chickpea Genotypes for Spring Sowing: Specific Adaptation to Locations and Sowing Seasons in the Mediterranean Region
Superior genotypes are needed to give farmers a choice of improved cultivars of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) suitable for traditional spring sowing. From 1997 to 2010, 68 experiments comprising 404 elite chickpea lines ...
Gender Roles in Agriculture: The Case of Afghanistan
Technological interventions aiming to improve livelihoods that bring
gender equity can become successful only when the prevailing gender
roles in society and access to different livelihood opportunities are fully
understood. ...
Artificial microRNA-mediated resistance against the monopartite begomovirus Cotton leaf curl Burewala virus
Background: Cotton leaf curl disease, caused by single-stranded DNA viruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae), is a major constraint to cotton cultivation across Pakistan and north-western India. At this time ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to
2000, ...
Multi-environment QTL analyses for drought-related traits in a recombinant inbred population of chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.)
A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, comprising 181 lines derived from ILC588 × ILC3279, was evaluated in 10 environments across three locations with different moisture gradients. A drought resistance score (DRS) ...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in HSP17.8 and Their Association with Agronomic Traits in Barley
Small heat shock protein 17.8 (HSP17.8) is produced abundantly in plant cells under heat and other stress conditions and
may play an important role in plant tolerance to stress environments. However, HSP17.8 may be ...
Assessing the Efficiency of Ateel Wastewater Treatment Station and Its Suitability for Rehabilitation Improving Water Quality and Its Safe and Practical Application
In regions where water is in short supply, wastewater treatment offers the possibility for the efficient removal of unwanted pollutants and germs so that the water may be used for irrigation. Water scarcity is an old problem ...
