Food security in changing Arab environment
The Arab region has the largest food deficit in the world, due to the strained natural resource base and vulnerabilities to climate change implications, which put tremendous pressure on achieving food security. During the ...
Wide crosses of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) reveal good disease resistance, yield stability, and industrial quality across Mediterranean sites
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) breeders over the past century have increased the productivity and resilience of this crop via strong selection applied to genes controlling agronomically important traits. Along this ...
Wheat Breeding at ICARDA: Strategies, Achievements and Prospects
Presentation on the 13th Wheat Genetic Symposium, 23-28 April 2017, Tulln, Austria.
Towards the conservation of crop wild relative diversity in North Africa: checklist, prioritisation and inventory
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild species that are more or less genetically related to crops that can be used to introgress useful genes for improvement of productivity, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and quality ...
BCNAM drought tolerant population with CSM63E as recurrent parent
The material characterized here are progenies in BC1F3 generation. These progenies were obtained by crossing seven (7) drought-specific donor parents (IS15428; IS16044; IS16173; IS10876; IS3583; BBISS08; BBISS09) with ...
Genetic variability for nutritional quality in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus Subsp. culinaris)
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus Subsp. culinaris) is important dietary source of macro and micro-nutrients essential for human health. It provides essential amino acids to meet nutrient requirements. In order to develop ...
The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Plant Density in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring 2017
In southern Tunisia, rangelands are overexploited because the animal needs highly exceed plant production. For most of the skeletal desert soil, the overall vegetation covering oscillates between 1 and 10%; the perennial ...

Evaluation of Opuntia ficus-indica as a multi-purpose species under west Asia conditions
The agronomic potential of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. a multi-purpose crop is becoming increasingly apparent in arid and semi-arid regions. Nevertheless, the main limitation for the adaptation and distribution of O. ...
Stakeholder Consultation Workshop
A project consisting of a consortium of 27 partners, spanning 15 countries and 4 continents, the eartH2Observe project aims to address the gap in hydrological information, which is an obstacle for informed water-related ...
