Features of SNP and SSR diversity in a set of ICARDA barley germplasm collection
Detection and utilization of genetic variation available in the germplasm collection for crop improvement have been the prime activities of breeders. Here a set of ICARDA barley germplasm collection comprising of 185 ...
The potential contribution of wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) germplasm to drought tolerance of cultivated barley (H. vulgare ssp. vulgare)
Improving drought tolerance has always been an important objective in many crop improvement programs and is becoming more important as one way of adapting crops to climate changes. However, due to its complexity, the genetic ...
Sources of resistance in bread wheat to Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia) in Syria identified using the Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS)
P>Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), is an important pest of wheat and barley in North America, Africa and the Middle East. Host plant resistance is the most economical and practical means of controlling ...
Development of 1000 Microsatellite Markers across the Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Genome
Date Palm is a major environmental and economic factor in arid climates in many countries around the world. Microsatellite markers have been proven to be very powerful in plant genome analysis because they are locus-specific, ...
Laboratory Manual for The Regional Training Course on Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms and Biosafety for Food and Agriculture
This Laboratory Manual on GMO detection has been prepared in English and Arabic language in the context of this training course. It presents a compilation of a general overview and technical protocols related to GMOs, all ...
New Approaches for the Study of Osmotic Stress Induced by Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in Cereal Species
Literature confirms that using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an osmotic agent to imitate water shortage was not so easy in practice, due to PEG toxicity effects and frequent contaminations. Two new approaches were developed ...
Characterization of a prolyl endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Sunn pest) infested wheat
Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps, Puton, infested and uninfested wheat seeds were obtained from the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria, with the primary objective to ...
