Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries
A research for development initiative working across ten countries to raise wheat production and reduce the Arab World’s growing dependence on costly wheat imports.
Economic and food security benefits associated with raised-bed wheat production in Egypt
Countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are dependent on imports of wheat to meet their food security
needs. Mechanized raised-bed wheat production is an effective means of increasing productivity and ...
Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
Adaptation and Stability Analysis of ICARDA Durum Wheat Elites across 18 Countries
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its cultivation occurs on a vast array of international agroenvironments. However, its wide international adaptation is only marginally ...
Strengthening informal seed networks
How can we strengthen seed systems to achieve food security and better protection from epidemics and disease?
Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases in Central Asia and Near East: In-Country Rust Surveillance
Through the FAO-ICARDA initiative on Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases, technical backstopping, guidelines and financial support were provided to facilitate national in-country rust surveillance in ...
High yielding wheat varieties with heat and drought tolerance
Wheat is an important food crop globally is facing serious threats from impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, recurring droughts and floods, and emergence of new pests and diseases like stripe rust, yellow ...
Methodology for Assessing Adoption, Efficiency, and Impacts of Mechanized Raised-Bed Technology
Mechanized raised-bed technology (MRBT) has been recognized as an important
Component of integrated water management to achieve higher productivity in intensive irrigated systems, such as those found in the Nile ...
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 ...
Multi-model genome-wide association and genomic prediction analysis of 16 agronomic, physiological and quality related traits in ICARDA spring wheat
Identification and exploration of the
genetic architecture of traits related to yield, quality,
and drought and heat tolerance is important for yield
and quality improvement of wheat through markerassisted
selection. One ...
