Assessment of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain yield, aerial biomass and flowering date stability in Mediterranean environments
Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested nine pea cultivars in five ...
Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...
Relevance of limited-transpiration trait for lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in South Asia
Drought is one of the most important environmental factors that limit crop production. It has been hypothesized that a limited-transpiration trait under high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a mechanism for water conservation ...
Genotypic and growing location effect on grain β-glucan content of barley under sub-tropical climates
Effect of genotype and growing location on barley grain beta glucan content was studied in 25 barley genotypes grown over six different locations in India. Based upon the two years results, the genotypes BCU 554, BH 963, ...
Selecting Lentil Accessions for Global Selenium Biofortification
The biofortification of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus.) has the potential to provide adequate daily selenium (Se) to human diets. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine how low-dose Se fertilizer application ...
Efficiency of different breeding strategies in improving the faba bean productivity for sustainable agriculture
Breeding methods applied to faba bean are either based on self pollination by developing lines under insect proof cages or baed on open pollination by developing lines under natural pollination conditions. The purpose of ...
Opportunities to improve the seasonal dynamics of water use in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) to enhance yield increase in water‑limited environments
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is one of the most important annual food legumes that plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of millions in the world. Lentil is mainly grown under rainfed environments, ...
Identifying Barley Genotypes for Optimum Input Conditions in the WANA Regions
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop for its high demand for grain feed and forage/ grazing for the animals as well as for human food in the WANA region under the low rainfall situations and thus creating ...
Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
Barley yield formation under abiotic stress depends on the interplay between flowering time genes and environmental cues
Since the dawn of agriculture, crop yield has always been impaired through abiotic
stresses. In a field trial across five locations worldwide, we tested three abiotic stresses,
nitrogen deficiency, drought and salinity, ...
