Recombination Among Begomoviruses on Malvaceous PlantsLeads to the Evolution of Okra Enation Leaf Curl Virus in Pakistan
Whitefly transmitted begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) are the majorreason for significant yield losses of dicotyledonous crops in tropics andsubtropics. Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is one of the important vegetablecrops, ...
Regional changes in the sequence of cotton leaf curl multan betasatellite
Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) in Pakistan and northwestern India is caused by monopartite begomoviruses in association with an essential, disease-specific satellite, Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMB). ...
Spatio-temporal Distribution of Actual Evapotranspiration in the Indus Basin Irrigation System
Strategic planning of optimal water use requires an accurate assessment of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) to understand the environmental and hydrological processes of the world’s largest contiguous irrigation networks, ...
Seed Info No. 47
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Nutrients Can Enhance the Abundance and Expression of Alkane Hydroxylase CYP153 Gene in the Rhizosphere of Ryegrass Planted in Hydrocarbon-Polluted Soil
Plant-bacteria partnership is a promising strategy for the remediation of soil and water polluted with hydrocarbons. However, the limitation of major nutrients (N, P and K) in soil affects the survival and metabolic activity ...
Molecular evaluation of orphan Afghan common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces collected by Dr. Kihara using single nucleotide polymorphic markers
Abstract
Background
Landraces are an important source of genetic diversity in common wheat, but archival
collections of Afghan wheat landraces remain poorly characterised. The recent development
of array based marker ...
Identification of High Yielding Wheat Genotypes through Evaluation of International Nurseries
High yielding, stable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are needed for the diverse environments in West Asia to improve rural livelihoods. This study was conducted to determine the performance of elite wheat breeding ...
Seed Info No. 46
Seed Info seeks to stimulate information exchange and regular communication between seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
EVOLUTIONARY POPULATIONS: Living gene banks in farmers’ fields
Rapidly increasing on-farm biodiversity is a matter of
urgency in an era of climate change. Farmers often have
limited access to genetic resources. Not only do they need
greater access to the genetic material in research ...
