Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
Reliable high-throughput Phenotyping Tools to assess Adaptive Traits for Wheat in Drought Environments
This project successfully demonstrated the value of ICARDA’s elite drought nurseries for the CWANA region and highlighted the opportunity to breed for specific adaptations. The great environmental diversity of the CWANA ...
Barley Breeding at ICARDA: from traditional Breeding to genomic selection
This presentation was presented during the training course on Durum wheat Selection program in Lebanon.
Field-based screening identifies resistance to Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) feeding at vegetative stage in elite wheat genotypes
Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Puton) is currently widely distributed in West and Central Asia
and Eastern Europe, but has not been found in Australia, Western Europe or North America. Climate
warming is known to promote ...
Optimization of sequence alignment for simple sequence repeat regions
Background: Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are tandemly repeated DNA sequences, including
tandem copies of specific sequences no longer than six bases, that are distributed in the genome. SSR has ...
Genomic regions conferring resistance to multiple fungal pathogens in synthetic hexaploid wheat. Molecular Breeding
Fungal diseases are among the most devastating biotic stresses and often cause significant losses in wheat production worldwide. A set of 173 synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) characterized for resistance against fungal ...
Marker-Assisted Recurrent Backcrossing in Cultivar Development
Marker-assisted recurrent backcrossing (MARS), the combined use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and recurrent backcrossing, is a versatile method for plant breeding and genetic studies. The benefits of MARS are well ...
Global agricultural intensification during climate change: a role for genomics
Agriculture is now facing the ‘perfect storm’ of climate change, increasing costs of fertilizer
and rising food demands from a larger and wealthier human population. These factors point
to a global food deficit unless the ...
Allelic variations and differential expressions detected at quantitative trait loci for salt stress tolerance in wheat
The increasing salinization of agricultural lands is a threat to
global wheat production. Understanding of the mechanistic
basis of salt tolerance (ST) is essential for developing breeding
and selection strategies that ...
