Impact of improving water-use efficiency on its valuation: The case of irrigated wheat production in Tunisia
The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the impact of irrigation water use efficiency improvement on enhancing the value of water used for irrigation; and to estimate the potential for private water cost reductions ...
Insect Resistance
Studies to-date have shown the availability of enough genetic diversity in the wheat genetic resources (land races, wild relatives, cultivars, etc.) for resistance to the most economically important insect pests such as ...
Nutrients Can Enhance the Abundance and Expression of Alkane Hydroxylase CYP153 Gene in the Rhizosphere of Ryegrass Planted in Hydrocarbon-Polluted Soil
Plant-bacteria partnership is a promising strategy for the remediation of soil and water polluted with hydrocarbons. However, the limitation of major nutrients (N, P and K) in soil affects the survival and metabolic activity ...
ICARDA’S Genebank Resources and Activities: A Vital Tool in Ensuring a Food-Secure Future for Dryland Communities
Agrobiodiversity is one of the world’s most precious resources for ensuring food security as climate change, globally diminishing natural resource base and rapidly growing population pose an unprecedented challenge to feed ...

Influence of Pentatomid Insects on the Physical Dough Properties and Two-layered Flat Bread Baking Quality of Syrian Wheat
Field investigations were carried out of the incidence of pentatomid insects at different stages of development, as well as development of the maturing wheat plant, and revealed that the insects can cause damage to the ...
A SNP marker for the selection of HfrDrd, a Hessian fly-response gene in wheat
The HfrDrd gene has been reported to be induced specifically in the wheat's defence response to Hessian fly larvae and is not a general stress-responsive gene. The gene is located on chromosome 7DS with a homeologue on ...
