Nutritional and Technological Optimization of Wheat-Chickpea- Milk Powder Composite Flour and Its Impact on Rheological and Sensorial Properties of Leavened Flat Bread
Flour quality is influenced by the nature of the gluten and its various components. Gluten
free flour made of pulses is known to enhance the nutritional quality of wheat flour. However, its
addition can compromise the ...
Additional Sources of Tolerance to Cold in Cultivated and Wild Cicer Species
Cold tolerance is an important prerequisite for winter sowing of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Mediterranean environments. Cold-tolerant lines identified earlier at ICARDA are sometimes not tolerant enough to tolerate ...
Evidence of Geographical Divergence in Kabuli Chickpea from Germplasm Evaluation Data
Turkey is the putative center of origin of cultivated chickpea, Cicer arietinum L. The large-seeded kabuli chickpea is the most common type cultivated in West Asia and the Mediterranean region. This type is believed to ...
ICARDA’s New Strategic Plan 2017-2026 Highlights
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 ...
Dinitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Balance in Cool-Season Food Legumes
Understanding the magnitude of N2 fixation and export of plant N, particularly in the harvested grain and straw, is necessary to assess the potential for grain legumes to contribute to long-term agricultural production ...
Patterns of Resistance and Susceptibility to Races of Ascochyta rabiei Among Germ Plasm Accessions and Breeding Lines of Chickpea
To identify sources of resistance to the six races of Ascochyta rabiei reported from Lebanon and Syria, 1,069 germ plasm accessions and breeding lines were screened against the races in the greenhouse at Tel Hadya, Syria, ...
Impact Assessment of the Village Seed Bank (VSB) program for chickpea, groundnut and pigeonpea in the Central Dry Zone of Myanmar, focusing on the production, distribution, productivity and profitability of seed of improved cultivars
A major objective of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)-funded MyPulses project in Myanmar was the development of improved, high-yielding varieties of pigeonpea, groundnut and chickpea ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties II. Durum wheat
Seven varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum), provided by ICARDA, were tested in a greenhouse experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards two varieties, differing in salt tolerance, were irrigated with waters of ...
Evaluation of a World Collection of Chickpea Germ Plasm Accessions for Resistance to Ascochyta Blight
A world collection of 9,574 desi and 3,836 kabuli germ plasm accessions of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was evaluated for Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) resistance at the International Center for Agricultural Research ...
Spatial distribution and association of biophysical factors with chickpea chlorotic stunt and pea seed-borne mosaic viruses affecting legume crops in Ethiopia
Food legumes are key commodities produced in sole and mixed cropping system in Ethiopia. Their productivity has been affected recently by virus infections. Field surveys were conducted from 2018/19 to 2021/22 cropping ...
