Evaluation of exotic barley germplasm against yellow rust in India
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop in India currently being cultivated in 0.67
m ha with production of 1.6 m tonnes. The crop suffers from many foliar diseases with yellow rust
(Puccinia striiformis ...
Pre-breeding using wild relatives of barley
A total of 100 accessions of H. sponteneum were evaluated for powdery mildew and yellow rust at Marchouch station in Morocco. More than 83% of these lines combine resistance to both diseases. These accessions are under ...
Evaluation of diverse sets of barley germplasm for resistance to scald disease (Rhynchosporium secalis)
Barley is one of the most important field crop in the drylands of North Africa and West Asia
region. It has multiple uses (food, feed and malt) and is known for its better adaptation to drought
and salinity. However, its ...
Mining the ICARDA germplasm collection for biotic and abiotic priority traits for Australia
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for barley improvement, targeting nearly 18 million ha of dry areas. Germplasm improvement in hulled and naked barley for ...
Identification of new sources of resistance to spot blotch from Hordeum spontaneum
ICARDA has a global mandate of barley for sustainable production in dry areas through
preservation of the genetic diversity and promote its utilization to develop improved and better
adapted germplasm. The elite germplasm ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
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 ...
