Non-tropical dry areas cover over 40% of the world’s land surface with a growing population of more than 2.5 billion people. These people grow 44% of the world’s food and keep half of the world’s livestock, yet one in six ...
Genotypic and location effect on grain protein content of barley under sub-tropical climates
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a very ancient grain and is considered as a sacred grain the Indian culture.
However, over the years the area and production of barley decreased in India mainly because of availability
of ...
Implementing breeding programs for high- & low-input, spring and winter barley
The breeding program was implemented in four countries viz. Lebanon (Terbol & AUB), Morocco (Rabat, Jemma Shaim, Allal Tazi), India (Amlaha) and Mexico (Toluca/ Obregon) to fulfil the objectives. More than 1800 new crosses ...
Evaluation and Managing Wheat Seed-borne Diseases: Options and Suggestions from the Case of Tajikistan
Wheat seed-borne diseases are among the major constraints reducing crop yield and the quality of seed and grain. In this study we aimed to evaluate the type and prevalence of fungal seed-borne diseases in Tajik wheat seed ...
Association and multivariate analysis of yield and its components in hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L)
Hulless or naked barley is an important cereal crop in the high altitude areas of Himalayas in India. Now-adays,
it is becoming popular as human food due to presence of higher beta glucan content, since healthy
effects of ...

Farming with alternative pollinators increases yields and incomes of cucumber and sour cherry
Pollinator decline is acknowledged worldwide and constitutes a major subject of environmental research. Nevertheless, farmers’ efforts to protect pollinators in agricultural lands remain very limited, in particular if no ...
Genome wide association study (GWAS) of resistance to barley spot blotch in South Asia
Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus (anamorph: Bipolaris Sorokiniana) is one of the important
foliar diseases of barley in South Asia. However, limited information on genetic resistance of spot blotch
resistance ...
Genetic relatedness studied at molecular level for huskless barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is fourth major crop in the world that has been under cultivation since ancient times. It is classified into hulled and hulless barley according to the grain type. In India, hulless barley is ...
Regional-scale monitoring of cropland intensity and productivity with multi-source satellite image time series
In the context of growing populations and limited resources, the sustainable intensification of agricultural production is of great importance to achieve food security. As the need to support management at a range of spatial ...
