Research Report no. 4 of the CPWF project: Improving on-farm agricultural water productivity in the Karkheh river basin (PN8).
QTLs for chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in barley under post-flowering drought
Drought is one of the major factors limiting barley yields in many developing countries worldwide. The identification of molecular markers linked to genes controlling drought tolerance in barley is one way to improve ...
Seed Info No. 41
Seed Info is designed to stimulate information exchange and regular communication between seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Effect of water harvesting techniques on water productivity and soil erosion
The Jordan Badia is representative of the vast drier environments of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. Pasture rangeland covers the majority of the Badia, although the vegetative cover is not dense. The vegetation ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: farmers' varietal perceptions, seed sources and seed management
A total of 206 wheat and 200 barley farmers were interviewed in northeastern Syria to understand farmer perceptions and practice relating to modern varieties, seed sources and seed quality. Wheat farmers had better awareness ...
CGIAR in Kazakhstan: A Decade of Partnership
Several agreements and memoranda of understanding with various institutions in Kazakhstan form the
strong basis for collaboration between the CG Centers and the NARS of Kazakhstan. These
agreements include the Agreement ...
On-farm evaluation of QTLs: the case of partial resistance to Puccinia hordei Otth in south east Ethiopia
This paper summarizes the performance of some QTLs for partial resistance to barley leaf rust under natural epidemic development in the south eastern highlands of Ethiopia. The paper also reviews types of resistance against ...
First Report Of Wheat Dwarf Virus And Its Vector (Psammotettix Provincialis) Affecting Wheat And Barley Crops In Syria
A field survey covering the major cereal-production areas of Syria was conducted during May 2009. A total of 938 wheat and 971 barley samples with typical symptoms of viral infection were collected from 45 wheat and 58 ...

Mixed model association scans of multi-environmental trial data reveal major loci controlling yield and yield related traits in Hordeum vulgare in Mediterranean environments
An association panel consisting of 185 accessions representative of the barley germplasm cultivated in the Mediterranean basin was used to localise quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling grain yield and yield related ...
