A transgenic approach to control hemipteran insects by expressing insecticidal genes under phloem-specific promoters
The first generation transgenic crops used strong constitutive promoters for transgene expression.
However, tissue-specific expression is desirable for more precise targeting of transgenes. Moreover,
piercing/sucking ...
Durum wheat: a staple crop for food security
Durum wheat is the 10th most important crop produced on the planet, and its consumption is nearly as old as civilisation itself. The Phoenicians were the first traders that sold its products along the shores of Mediterranean, ...

RNA Interference based Approach to Down Regulate Osmoregulators of Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci): Potential Technology for the Control of Whitefly
Over the past decade RNA interference (RNAi) technology has emerged as a successful tool not only for functional genomics, but in planta expression of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that could offer great potential for ...
Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
Comparison of rank-based stability statistics for grain yield in rainfed durum wheat
Several rank-based stability statistics are in use, but little information is available on their repeatability and accuracy. The main objective was to examine the repeatability, similarity and accuracy of the estimates of ...
Containing the Menace of Wheat Rusts: Institutionalized Interventions and Impacts
This book is the grandstand of the collaborative endeavours of diverse stakeholders in addressing the challenges of wheat production and wheat rusts in Ethiopia within the context of the international efforts across Africa ...
Impacts of International Wheat Improvement Research
Wheat is a major source of calories and protein for consumers in developing countries. The “Green Revolution” improved the national food security and welfare of the poor in developing countries in the second half of the ...
Identification and Characterization of Salt Tolerance of Wheat Germplasm Using a Multivariable Screening Approach
Salinity is one of the major limitations to wheat production worldwide. This study was designed to evaluate the level of genetic variation among 150 internationally derived wheat genotypes for salinity tolerance at ...
ICARDA’s Strategy for Biometrics and Statistics Support to its Research (2016-2020)
This document describes the goals and objectives of Biometrics and Statistics Section (BSS), highlights current status and the challenges in the changing agricultural landscape to sustainably support the livelihood and the ...
