Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Present status of some virus diseases affecting legume crops in Tunisia, and partial characterization of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus
Field surveys were conducted in Tunisia during the 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2009-2010 growing seasons to identify viruses which produce yellowing, reddening and/or stunting symptoms of chickpea, faba bean and pea crops. ...
First Report of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus Infecting Legume Crops in Tunisia
First Report of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus Infecting Legume Crops in Tunisia.
Improving food security and coping with biotic and abiotic constraints using improved crop germplasm in Central Asia and the Caucasus
This presentation highlights:
1) Constraints to winter crop production under climate change.
2) Germplasm introduction.
3) Progress on yellow rust resistant wheat varieties.
4) Progress on salinity tolerant wheat.
5) ...
Chickpea evolution has selected for contrasting phenological mechanisms among different habitats
Arguably the most important adaptive criterion in annual crops is appropriate phenology that minimizes exposure to climatic stresses and maximizes productivity in target environments. To date this has been achieved empirically ...
Genetic Adjustment to Changing Climates: Chickpea
It has now been predicted that future crops and agriculture systems have to face variable climates and these changes require adjustment of crops to feed the world growing population. For sustainable global food and feed ...
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
The potential of small-scale rainfed agriculture to strengthen food security in Arab countries
In most Arab countries, domestic agricultural production is insufficient. The gap between production and demand is likely to increase due to climate change and other factors. This review paper examines the challenges and ...
Oligonucleotide fingerprinting reveals various probe-dependent levels of informativeness in chickpea (Cicer arietinum)
Synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to simple repetitive DNA sequences were used to detect inter- and intra-specific polymorphisms in a leguminous crop plant (chickpea, Cicer arietinum) and its wild relatives. All the ...
Distant Hybridization and Alien Gene Introgression
This chapter reviews the information on the present status of wild gene pools, their evaluation, introgression through distance hybridization and future crossing potential, crossability barriers and means to overcome them, ...
