Trends in Small Ruminant Meat Production–Consumption Gaps in West Asia and North Africa: Implications for Intra-Regional Trade
This paper examines past trends in the small ruminant sector in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region; it explains the main driving forces of these trends and their implications for the livelihoods of the poor; and ...
Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Small Ruminant Breeds in Libya - Field Guide. التوصيف المظهري والجزيئي لسلالات المجترات الصغيرة في ليبيا – الدليل الحقلي
The Field Guide for Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Small Ruminant Breeds in Libya is intended to support animal scientists and technicians in collecting accurate data and applying appropriate sampling procedures ...
Understanding the relationships between genetic and phenotypic structures of a collection of elite durum wheat accessions
A collection of 191 durum wheat accessions representing Mediterranean Basin genetic diversity was grown in nine different environments in four countries, with productivities ranging from 0.99 to 6.78 t ha(-1). The population ...
Reconstructing an ancient bottleneck of the movement of the lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) into South Asia
Crop movement often leads to genetic bottlenecks. The lentil was domesticated in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Dissemination from highland Afghanistan into the Indo-Gangetic Plain, where it is of major importance today, ...

conference paper : Cactus holds promises as a tool to improve the productivity & sustainability of livestockbased production systems under the climate change context
Differentiation of rangeland vegetation and assessment of its status: field investigations and MODIS and SPOT VEGETATION data analyses
In the Syrian Steppe we carried out a field experiment using repeated hyperspectral measurements throughout the 2001 growing season to investigate the separability of vegetation types based on their temporal‐spectral ...
Towards a Feminization of Agricultural Labour in Northwest Syria
Smallholdings in the rural areas of northwest Syria are a result of land fragmentation that is due to inheritance. Because of rapid population growth combined with land fragmentation, these smallholdings are increasing and ...
Detection of genetic diversity in Moroccan durum wheat accessions using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers
Characterization of germplasm by agro-morphological, biochemical and DNA-markers provide powerful tools to precise germplasm identification, quantify the genetic diversity and to estimate the phylogenetic relationship among ...
Integrating host resistance with planting date and fungicide seed treatment to manage Fusarium wilt and so increase lentil yields
Field experiments were conducted in Northern Syria during the 1996/97 and 1997/98 cropping seasons to determine the effect of different control options on wilt disease parameters and lentil yields. The control options were ...
Adaptation of Small-Seeded Red Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) to Diverse Environments
The lentil improvement program of ICARDA benefits from the information generated by the Legume International Nursery Network operating globally. Over the period 1996 to 2002, 12 different types of trials comprising lentil ...
