Analysis Of Genotypic Variation For Normalized Difference Vegetation Index And Its Relationship With Grain Yield In Winter Wheat Under Terminal Heat Stress
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), which is a measure of leaf greenness (chlorophyll content), is considered to be correlated with crop productivity. This study was conducted to examine genotypic variations for ...
Global crop improvement networks to bridge technology gaps
To ensure future food security, there is an urgent need for
improved co-ordination of agricultural research. While
advances in biotechnology hold considerable promise,
significant technology gaps exist that may reduce ...
Agronomic Performance of Elite Stem Rust Resistant Spring Wheat Genotypes and Association among Trial Sites in the Central and West Asia and North Africa Region
The new stem rust race Ug99 is an alarming threat to the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production of the world for the very fact that it overcomes many of the known Sr genes including the most commonly used genes such as ...
Sources of Resistance to Stem Rust (Ug99) in Bread Wheat and Durum Wheat Identified Using Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy
The focused identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) has been validated using predictive computer models in simulation studies to predict a priori known trait scores. This study was designed as a blind study where the ...
Root Development And Water-Uptake Under Water Deficit Stress In Drought-Adaptive Wheat Genotypes
Drought adaptation of wheat is one of the most significant and complex subjects in the rain-fed agricultural regions of West Asia. Interaction between root water-uptake and the remaining soil moisture is a key factor for ...
Simulating The Effects Of Zero Tillage And Crop Residue Retention On Water Relations And Yield Of Wheat Under Rainfed Semiarid Mediterranean Conditions
Many studies have shown that zero tillage (ZT) in combination with a surface crop residue layer - two components of conservation agriculture (CA) practice - can improve the agronomic water balance by increasing the amount ...
Registration of ‘Kharoba’: A Bread Wheat Cultivar Developed through Doubled Haploid Breeding
'Kharoba' (Reg. No. CV-1068, PI 664028), a hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed using doubled haploid technology by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Morocco, and tested ...
Identification of SNP Mutations in DREB1, HKT1, and WRKY1 Genes Involved in Drought and Salt Stress Tolerance in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum)
Tolerance mechanisms to salinity and drought stress are quite complex. Plants have developed a complex and elaborate signaling network that ensures their adaptation to this stress. For example, salinity tolerance is thought ...
