Some characteristics of Rhizobium leguminosarum isolates from uninoculated field-grown lentil
A total of 229 Rhizobium leguminosarum isolates from the lentil-growing region of West Asia-North Africa (WANA) were evaluated for their symbiotic effectiveness and for salt and heat tolerance. These included 65 isolates ...
Molecular markers and phenotypic characterization of adult plant resistance genes Lr 34, Lr 46, Lr 67 and Lr 68 and their association with partial resistance to leaf rust in wheat
Thirty-nine wheat genotypes were studied to estimate their partial resistance levels to leaf rust at Behira governortae during three growing seasons, i.e. 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. In these genotypes, partial ...
Estimating soil erosion in sub-Saharan Africa based on landscape similarity mapping
Soil erosion is one of the major forms of land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with serious impact on agricultural productivity. Due to the absence of reliable data at appropriate resolution and differences in the ...
Gender and Asset Ownership in the Old and New Lands of Egypt
The Middle East and North Africa region has the lowest level of women’s land ownership in the world, yet little research has explored the barriers and opportunities women face in land ownership in the region. This paper ...
Women, Land, and Empowerment Dynamics in Egypt’s Mubarak Resettlement Scheme
Literature and development practice related to women’s access to land reveals two main
assumptions: one, that the land is empowering for women and, two, that this
empowerment is inherently linked to independence for women ...
Explaining shifts in adaptive water management using a gendered multi-level perspective (MLP): a case study from the Nile Delta of Egypt
Understanding the logic behind farmers' choice of adaptive water management practice is important to appreciate the opportunities and challenges they face and to scale targeted solutions effectively. This paper aims to ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Molecular characterization of faba bean necrotic yellows viruses in Tunisia
Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV) (genus Nanovirus; family Nanoviridae) has a genome comprising eight individually encapsidated circular single-stranded DNA components. It has frequently been found infecting faba ...
Phenotypic and Molecular Assessment for Genetic Diversity of Egyptian Wheat Varieties
GENETIC diversity among plant species is important for improving plant traits. Its estimation is very essential to help selection of genetic resources in breeding programs. Moreover, it is the base for effective and ...
