Phenotypic variability and characteristics of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm of Ethiopia by multivariate analysis
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop in Ethiopian highlands. Its productivity is very low
due to low yielding landraces and other factors. The objectives of this study were to classify groups of
genotypes ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Multi-dimensional Crop Improvement in Pulse Crops to support Livestock Productivity in Mixed Farming Systems
Crop scientists and livestock nutrition are collaboratively exploring opportunities and limitations for improving crop residue quantity and fodder quality at source through multidimensional crop improvement. Selecting ...
New Sources of Resistance and Heritability to Wilt/Root Rot Complex Diseases in Kabuli Chickpea
Chickpea wilt/root rot complexes are the most important yield-limiting factors in spring planted chickpea in the Mediterranean region, south Asia, and East Africa highlands. In West Asia and North Africa, Fusarium wilt ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in
Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for
Ascochyta blight ...
Identification of new chickpea genotypes resistant to fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris)
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) of chickpea is the major limitation to chickpea production worldwide. Host plant resistance is the major component in the management of fungal diseases in chickpea. This ...
Genetic diversity of Ethiopian faba bean (Vicia faba) varieties based on phenotypic traits and ISSR markers
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest food legumes of Ethiopia used as source of high protein
for human and animal consumptions. Many cultivars are released from local and exotic sources targeting
different ...
Cultivar-dependent variation in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) and implications for selecting food-feed varieties
Lentil straw is one of the extensively used livestock feed in mixed crop-livestock systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. To identify the importance of varietal and environmental sources of variation in the nutritive value of straw ...
Identification of new chickpea genetic resources resistant to fusarium wilt under multi-environments
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is an important biotic constraint to chickpea production worldwide. Host plant resistance is the most durable and economical way to manage these diseases. Fusarium wilt ...
Field evaluation of bread and durum wheat varieties for Septoria Tritici Blotch resistance in Morocco
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the devastating foliar diseases on bread and durum wheat production in Morocco. It causes up to 50% yield losses where susceptible wheat varieties are ...
