Web-based GIS-Hydrologic Modeling for Siting Water Harvesting Reservoirs
Rainwater harvesting has been practiced at various scales in dry land and semiarid areas as a means to channel and store scarce rainfall for later on- farm or domestic use. The locations for water collecting structures are ...
Phytosanitary Management of ICARDA’s Germplasm Seed Collections for Better Future Use
Recent years have witnessed an increasing global concern about the loss of plant genetic
resources, as a result of conflicts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., which led to disrupting
access to some germplasm and undermining ...
Detection and Characterization of Seed-Borne Bacterial Leaf Blight in Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important crops which contributes toward global food security and
represents a main source of food and income for millions of smallholder farmers worldwide.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) ...
In vitro salinity tolerance screening of some legumes and forages cultivars
The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
Detection of significant new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen in Africa and Middle East
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a destructive disease on bread and durum wheat. Following the identification and distribution of Ug99, major national and international efforts have been made ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
Effect of lactation season on Awassi sheep milk quality and fatty acid profiles
Awassi sheep milk is the main milk used to produce traditional dairy products in the Middle East. Sheep management during lactation is affecting milk quality including fatty acid profiles. Generally, farmers graze their ...
Comparison of serological and molecular methods for diagnosis of viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms for the pulse crops
The diagnosis of plant viruses that belong to the families Solemoviridae and Tombusviridae, which cause yellowing and stunting symptoms, is very complicated due to the serological cross-reactivity among these viruses. The ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of the Resilience to High Temperature of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Germplasm
Our research on enhancement of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has the objectives of increasing resilience to temperature extremes and improving nutritional quality. We conduct traditional field/greenhouse experiments and adopt ...
