Contrasting genetic variation amongst lentil landraces from different geographical origins
Lentil landraces from South Asia exhibit a low diversity and discordance with landraces from other countries according to a combination of qualitative and quantitative agromorphological characters. They exhibit specific ...
Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Legume Cookbook: Cooking with Chickpeas, Faba Beans and Lentils
For many generations, both ordinary and imaginative cooks have created tasty dishes featuring chickpeas, faba beans, and lentils. An excellent source of protein and other nutrients, these versatile legumes are staple foods ...
Food Legume Improvement Program 1988
The crop improvement research was done at the principal research station of ICARDA at Tel Hadya, as well as at several subsites in northern Syria (Breda, Jinderess, and Lattakia) and Lebanon (Terbol). Weather condition ...
Rainfall and temperature effects on lentil (Lens culinaris) seed yield in Mediterranean environments
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is a rain-fed crop in North Africa and West Asia whose yields are limited by the amount and distribution of rainfall and winter cold. This study aimed to quantify the effects of climatic ...
Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
Fusarium vascular wilt in lentil: Inheritance and identification of DNA markers for resistance
The inheritance of resistance to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp, lentis was investigated in a cross between resistant (ILL5588) and susceptible (L692-16-1(s)) lines. F-2:4 ...
Seed Info No. 26
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and communication among seed staff in the Central,
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to contribute towards the development of stronger national seed ...
Iron deficiency in lentil: Yield loss and geographic distribution in a germplasm collection
Iron deficiency symptoms are observed on some genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) grown in calcareous soil. A germplasm collection of 3512 accessions originating from 18 countries was characterized for iron ...
