Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Genetic structure, diversity, and allelic richness in composite collection and reference set in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Background: Plant genetic resources (PGR) are the basic raw materials for future genetic progress and an insurance against unforeseen threats to agricultural production. An extensive characterization of PGR provides an ...
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 ...
On-Farm Assessment of Improved Crop Production Practices in Northwest Syria. I. Chickpea
Thirty on-farm trials were conducted in northwest Syria over a period of four seasons to examine the main effects and interaction of sowing date, sowing method, Rhizobium inoculation, phosphate application and weed control ...
First report of sugar beet and bean as natural hosts of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus in Iran
A survey was conducted during August 2001 to identify viruses infecting sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) crops in the six provinces of Iran, including Semnan, Khorasan, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Fars and Esfahan. A total of 4795 leaf ...
Genetic dissection of pathotype-specific resistance to ascochyta blight disease in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) using microsatellite markers
Ascochyta blight is an economically important disease of chickpea caused by the fungus Ascochyta rabiei. The fungus shows considerable variation for pathogenicity in nature. However, studies on the genetics of pathotype-specific ...
Efficiency of marker-assisted selection in detection of ascochyta blight resistance in Tunisian chickpea breeding lines
Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance reactions were studied in 23 chickpea cultivars, mainly advanced
lines and Tunisian varieties from the Tunisian chickpea breeding program, growing both at two locations and
under controlled ...
Grain yield losses due to leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) in winter- and spring-planted chickpea in Morocco
Chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) is one of the main insect pests damaging chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) inthe Mediterranean region.This study assessed yield losses caused by the chickpea leafminer on four improved ...
Registration of 'Ejere', a Kabuli Chickpea
Registration of 'Ejere', a Kabuli Chickpea.
Functional Dissection of the Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Stay-Green Phenotype Associated with Molecular Variation at an Ortholog of Mendel’s I Gene for Cotyledon Color: Implications for Crop Production and Carotenoid Biofortification
“Stay-green” crop phenotypes have been shown to impact drought tolerance and nutritional content of several crops. We aimed to genetically describe and functionally dissect the particular stay-green phenomenon found in ...
