Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Genotypic and growing location effect on grain β-glucan content of barley under sub-tropical climates
Effect of genotype and growing location on barley grain beta glucan content was studied in 25 barley genotypes grown over six different locations in India. Based upon the two years results, the genotypes BCU 554, BH 963, ...
Vulnerability of Barley to African Pathotypes of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and Sources of Resistance
The emergence of widely virulent pathotypes (e.g., TTKSK in the Ug99 race group) of the stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) in Africa threatens wheat production on a global scale. Although intensive research ...
Are Development Projects Pursuing Short-Term Benefits at the Expense of Sustainability?
When evaluated purely on financial grounds, most developmental interventions targeting the livestock sector exhibit a positive impact. This study also provides empirical evidence that a project which provided loans to ...
Identification of barley genotypes with higher protein content coupled with bold grains for food and malt barley improvement under sub-tropical climates
Grain protein content is very important trait with respect to barley grains meant for food, feed and malt purposes. Barley grain protein content was evaluated in several genotypes for two years at different locations under ...
A comparative analysis of nonhost resistance across the two Triticeae crop species wheat and barley
Background: Nonhost resistance (NHR) protects plants against a vast number of non-adapted pathogens which implicates a potential exploitation as source for novel disease resistance strategies. Aiming at a fundamental ...
Sélection de lignées d’orge (Hordeum vulgare L.) pour leur résistance au barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) et évaluation de leurs performances agronomiques
Le virus de la jaunisse nanisante de l’orge ou « barley yellow dwarf virus » (BYDV) est connu comme étant le virus le plus important se répandant sur les céréales. En Tunisie, les contaminations peuvent dépasser 40 % sur ...
Changes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. vulgare) genetic diversity and structure in Jordan over a period of 31 years
In many regions of the world, the cultivation of landraces is still common, in particular in centres of crop diversity. Significant effort has been put into ex situ conservation of landraces but limited data exist on the ...
Hulless barley as a promising source to improve the nutritional quality of wheat products
In this study, efforts were made to utilize hulless barley (variety BHS352) to enhance the nutritive value of chapatti and biscuit made from wheat flour. Barley flour was added to wheat flour in different ratios (5 to 30%). ...
Assessment of genetic diversity and yield performance in Jordanian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces grown under Rainfed conditions
Background: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal crop, which is cultivated under variable environmental conditions and abiotic stresses in marginal areas around the globe. In this study, we evaluated 150 Jordanian ...
