ICARDA’s Strategy 2017-2026 for Biometrics and Statistics Support to its Research: Enhancing Research Quality for Innovation and Knowledge Sharing in Biodiversity, Germplasm Enhancement and Sustainable Agri-Food Systems
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 ...
Three FLOWERING LOCUS Tlike genes function as potential florigens and mediate photoperiod response in sorghum
Sorghum is a typical short-day (SD) plant and its use in grain or biomass production in temperate
regions depends on its flowering time control, but the underlying molecular mechanism
of floral transition in sorghum is ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Components of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata
Sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is
one of the major constraints in sorghum production,
and host plant resistance is one of the components to
control sorghum shoot fly. Thirty sorghum genotypes
were evaluated for ...
Farmer knowledge identifies a competitive bean ideotype for maize–bean intercrop systems in Rwanda
Background: Plant genotypes are rarely developed for mixed cropping systems despite the potential of these systems
to provide multiple ecosystem services. One of the most ubiquitously grown mixed cropping systems is a ...
Exploring dryland cereals and legumes for addressing food security: ATLAS DCL CGIAR, Research Program on Dryland Cereals and Legumes Agri-Food Systems
Population growth and climate change threatens the world’s capacity to produce food into the future. Dryland cereal and legume (DCL) crops are
part of any global solution to food security challenges. But these crops are ...
Experimental Designs for Alley Cropping to Estimate Shrub × Grass Interaction
Presents a series of experimental designs to estimate shrub x grass interactions and illustrates the data analysis using a simulated dataset.
Crops that feed the world 11. Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.): an important source of food security, nutrition and health in the arid and semi-arid tropics
Pearl millet is a major cereal in the arid and semiarid
regions of Asia and Africa. It is primarily cultivated for
grain production, but its stover is also valued as dry fodder.
Pearl millet is resilient to climate change ...
Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition
arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties ...
Molecular phylogeny, pathogenicity and toxigenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici
The present study aimed at the molecular characterization of pathogenic and non pathogenic F.
oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici strains isolated from tomato. The causal agent isolated from symptomatic
plants and soil samples ...
