Relationships of grain delta C-13 and delta O-18 with wheat phenology and yield under water-limited conditions
Stable carbon isotope composition (delta C-13) of dry matter has been widely investigated as a selection tool in cereal breeding programmes. However, reports on the possibilities of using stable oxygen isotope composition ...
Genetic diversity of Rhynchosporium secalis in Tunisia as revealed by pathotype, AFLP, and microsatellite analyses
Genetic variability among 122 Rhynchosporium secalis isolates collected from barley in three regions of Tunisia was investigated using host differentials, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and microsatellite ...
Evapotranspiration: progress in measurement and modeling in agriculture
This article provides a focused survey of progress in crop evapotranspiration (ET) measurement and modeling, with particular emphasis on the aspects of interest to the irrigation profession. The significant advances in ...

Phosphorous fertilizer efficiency and mycorrhizal infection in corn genotypes
In a world of limited resources and inexorable pressure to produce food for burgeoning populations, innovative approaches are needed to exploit these resources in a sustainable manner. Phosphorous (P) fertilizers are used ...
Integrated Assessment of Agricultural Systems – a Modular System for Agricultural and Environmental Modelling (SEAMLESS-IF)
Agricultural systems continuously evolve and are forced to change as a result of a range of global and local driving forces. Agricultural technologies and agricultural, environmental and rural development policies are ...

Monitoring crossbreeding trends in native Tunisian sheep breeds
Important urban market changes have been noticed in Tunisia for animals that produce thin tail carcasses in contrast to carcasses of animals with a fat tail. In response to this trend, farmers are crossing the local Barbarin ...
Identification and validation of a core set of informative genic SSR and SNP markers for assaying functional diversity in barley
A 'core set' of 28 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for barley was developed after screening six diverse genotypes (DGs) representing six countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
Using vegetation indices derived from conventional digital cameras as selection criteria for wheat breeding in water-limited environments
The ability to assess green biomass is of particular interest in a number of wheat breeding environments. However, the measurement of this and similar traits is either tedious and time-consuming or requires the use of ...
