Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
A user-friendly interactive tool for estimating reference ET using ASCE standardized Penman-Monteith equation
The Accurate daily reference evapotranspiration (ET) values are needed to estimate crop water demand for
irrigation management and hydrologic modeling purposes. The Bushland Reference ET Calculator (BET) was developed
to ...
Changes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. vulgare) genetic diversity and structure in Jordan over a period of 31 years
In many regions of the world, the cultivation of landraces is still common, in particular in centres of crop diversity. Significant effort has been put into ex situ conservation of landraces but limited data exist on the ...
Assessing Agricultural Water Productivity in Desert Farming System of Saudi Arabia
The primary objective of this study was to assess the water productivity (WP) of the annual (wheat, barley, and corn) and biennial (alfalfa and Rhodes grass) crops cultivated under centerpivot irrigation located over desert ...
Genetic variations of HvP5CS1 and their association with drought tolerance related traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase gene1 (P5CS1) is the key gene involved in the biosynthesis of
proline and is significantly induced by drought stress. The exploration of genetic variation in HvP5CS1
may facilitate ...
Scale Effects of STATSGO and SSURGO on Flow and Water Quality Predictions
Soil information is one of the crucial inputs needed to assess the impacts of existing and alternative agricultural man- agement practices on water quality. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of spatial ...
Spectral Reflectance Models for Characterizing Winter Wheat Genotypes
Optimum wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield can be achieved by
developing and growing the best genotypes in the most suited
environments. However, exhaustive field measurements are
required to characterize plants with ...
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 ...
Effect of Soil Water on Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity and Texture Relationships in a Dryland Field
Precision agriculture relies on using advanced tools to map and subsequently manage the variability across the field. There is an emerging interest in mapping apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) as a surrogate ...
