First Phase Activities Report on Ph.D. Research Fellowship (Sufian Suliman Mohammed), from 10 March-10 June 2013
The aim of this Ph.D. study is to introduce high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit combination “5+10” into some Sudanese wheat cultivars for improve the bread-making quality under heat stress conditions, using marker ...
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 ...
Water and Agriculture in Egypt
The purpose of this working paper is to support the Government of Egypt’s Strategy for
Sustainable Agricultural Development towards 2030 (SADS‐2030). This strategy paper was
published in 2009 and was concerned with the ...
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 ...
A strategic plan to revive wheat in Central and West Asia and North Africa by out-pacing Puccinia striiformis westend (yellow rust)
This report provides background and analysis for a proposed research and capacity building initiative
to support countries in Central and West Asia and North Africa region to better manage and reduce the
threat of wheat ...
Sustainable Agricultural Development of Highlands in Central, West Asia and North Africa
Synthesis of Regional Expert Meeting on Highland Agriculture November 2011, Karaj, Iran.
The objective of this report is to review the current status, constraints and potential of highlands in
Iran, Morocco and Turkey ...
Genetic diversity of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in Algeria as revealed by amplified fragement length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis
Tan spot caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a major wheat disease. DNA of 61 isolates of P.
tritici-repentis from different cereal growing areas in Algeria were analyzed using amplified fragment
length polymorphism ...
The Impacts of an Improved Technology Package on Production Efficiency: The Case of Wheat Farms in the Northern State of Sudan
Technical efficiency among wheat farms in the Northern State of Sudan was estimated using a
stochastic frontier production function approach. Empirical findings show that technical inefficiency is
important in explaining ...
Development of two species-specific primer sets to detect the cereal cyst nematodes Heterodera avenae and Heterodera filipjevi
Twelve Heterodera species are of major economic significance in wheat and barley. Of these, H. avenae, H. filipjevi and H. latipons are among the most important ones, and sometimes coexist. The identification of Heterodera ...
Efficient Callus Induction and Plantlets Regeneration in Durum Wheat Using Mature Embryos
The use of mature embryos as explants to initiate cultures is a best alternative to save time and costs, especially for producing somatic embryos for genetic transformation of durum wheat. However, plantlets regeneration ...
