Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Linking whole foods for better human health
The failure to link current agricultural production with human nutritional needs has
led to the development of unhealthy food systems, which cause both malnutrition and
chronic diseases. Malnutrition is responsible for ...
QTLs for Orobanche spp. resistance in faba bean: identification and validation across different environments
Broomrapes are holoparasitic plants which infect faba bean (Vicia faba L.), among
other legumes. Here, we aimed to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
for broomrape resistance in the cross 29H × Vf136 and ...
The problem of Orobanche in Tunisia: current state, specificity and main results of the national Faba bean breeding program to improve tolerance/resistance to Orobanche foetida and Orobanche crenata
In Tunisia legume crops suffer from several problems mainly broomrape attacks (Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp.) causing severe damages and
important yield losses mainly on faba bean. Among the several species reported ...
Distribution and genetic diversity of Orobanche in Tunisia
Abstract
Orobanche foetida is an obligate parasite which infects the roots of host legumes range in Tunisia and in particular the faba bean causing severe
damage to this crop. The use of molecular markers may be a suitable ...
Misr 3, a New Orobanche Tolerant Faba Bean Variety
Ten promising Orobanche tolerant faba bean genotypes were evaluated with
Misr 1 and Giza 843 (tolerant) and Giza 40 (susceptible) under free and highly
Orobanche infested fields at Giza Research Station from 2005/06 to ...
Combining Ascochyta blight resistance and high yield in lentil cultivars
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Bond and Vassil, is a major disease of lentil (Lens culinaris L. Medik.) causing 30–70% yield losses in
Canada, USA, and Australia and northern parts of India. The aim of ...
Wheat Legume Cropping Systems WANA COFIN-ECG-56-ICARDA Progress Report 2012-2013 Cropping Season
The project’s goal is to increase food security in the West Asia and North Africa region by improving the productivity and production of wheat-legume based cropping systems, while dealing with obstacles related to increasing ...
Impact Of Climate Change On Wheat Productivity In Central Asia
Climate change (CC) may pose a challenge to agriculture and rural livelihoods in Central Asia, but in-depth studies are lacking. To address the issue, crop growth and yield of 14 wheat varieties grown on 18 sites in key ...
Radiation hybrid QTL mapping of Tdes2 involved in the first meiotic division of wheat
Since the dawn of wheat cytogenetics, chromosome 3B has been known to harbor a gene(s) that, when removed, causes chromosome desynapsis and gametic sterility. The lack of natural genetic diversity for this gene(s) has ...
Genetic diversity of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in Algeria as revealed by amplified fragement length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis
Tan spot caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a major wheat disease. DNA of 61 isolates of P.
tritici-repentis from different cereal growing areas in Algeria were analyzed using amplified fragment
length polymorphism ...
