Marker-assisted improvement of grain protein content and grain weight in Indian bread wheat
The leading Indian wheat cultivar
‘HUW234’ produces grain with relatively low protein
content (GPC) and thousand grain weight (TGW).
Therefore, marker-assisted backcrossing was used to
improve these two important traits ...
Influence of Acacia Trees on Near‐Surface Soil Hydraulic Properties in Arid Tunisia
Studies in arid regions have shown that scattered trees strongly influence the environmental conditions under their canopies providing
favourable conditions for the recruitment of other plants. The most critical factor ...
Gender and sustainable increase in production through irrigation: The Case of Ntcheu District, Malawi
The need to sustainably intensify agricultural production using irrigation dates as far back as the Egyptian civilization. In modern day Africa, irrigation offers an opportunity to get more crops per drop as a solution to ...
Isolation and sequence analysis of DREB2A homologues in three cereal and two legume species
The transcription factor, DREB2A, is one of the promising candidate genes involved in dehydration tolerance in crop plants. In order to isolate DREB2A homologues across cereals (rice, barley and sorghum) and legumes (common ...
Search for, and release of, parasitoids for the biological control of Russian wheat aphid in Washington State (USA)
Parasitoids of Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), from Morocco, and the Middle East were imported, reared, and mass produced for classical biological control use in Washington State. In total, more than 200 ...
Genetic Improvement and Crop Management Strategies to Minimize Yield Losses in Warm Non-traditional Wheat Growing Areas due to Spot Blotch Pathogen Cochliobolus sativus
Spot blotch caused by Cochliobolus sativus emerged as a major threat to wheat production in the warmer non-traditional wheat growing areas in the late 1980s. This foliar disease causes significant yield losses annually ...
Dominance communautaire dans l’exploitation des espaces pastoraux : impacts sur les modes de vie et implications pour la gestion des parcours du Maroc oriental
Quinze ans après la création des coopératives pastorales au niveau du Maroc oriental, l'exploitation et la gestion collectives des parcours restent toujours un défi majeur. Afin de mieux comprendre comment l'espace pastoral ...
Virus resistance of Australian pea (Pisum sativum) varieties
Australian pea varieties were evaluated for virus resistance using spreader plots sown with Pea
seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV)-infected seed and aphid inoculations with Bean leafroll virus
(BLRV). Natural infections by ...
Genetic diversity of Pinus brutia in Syria as revealed by DNA markers
Random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) were used to estimate the genetic diversity between and within 21 populations of Pinus brutia collected from five different ...
The vulnerability of native rangeland plant species to global climate change in the West Asia and North African regions
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change on the geographical
distribution of selected native species from two areas from West Asia and North Africa.
Three species representing two genera were selected for ...
