A human-modified ecological hotspot: Jabbul salt lake
Jabbul salt lake (or sebkha) is a hydrologically-closed agro-ecosystem in NW Syria, which includes a seasonal lake (28,000 ha), seasonal shorelines and surrounding agricultural villages. This place is rich in agricultural ...
Rainfed wheat-based rotations under Mediterranean conditions: Crop sequences, nitrogen fertilization, and stubble grazing in relation to grain and straw quality
Crop rotations have evolved as a strategy to obtain harvestable yields in stressed environments due to improved water-use efficiency, nitrogen (N) fixation, and breaking diseases cycles. While fallowing or growing legume ...
Enhancing the productivity of high-magnesium soil and water resources in Central Asia through the application of phosphogypsum
Recent evidences from some irrigated areas worldwide, such as Central Asia, suggest that water used for irrigation contains magnesium (Mg2+) at levels higher than calcium (Ca2+). Excess levels of Mg2+ in irrigation water ...

Prevalence of, and risk factors for, brucellosis in Awassi sheep in Southern Jordan
A cross-sectional study was carried out during the period between July 2003 and June 2005 to investigate the epidemiology of ovine brucellosis in Southern Jordan. Serum samples from 1380 sheep corresponding to 66 flocks ...
Evolution of Physiologic Races and Virulence of Puccinia striiformis on Wheat in Syria and Lebanon
Virulence–avirulence phenotypes of Puccinia striiformis isolates collected in Lebanon and
Syria were determined on seedlings of the wheat–yellow rust differential genotypes. We found
25 and 11 physiologic races over 6 years ...
Comparative assessment of EST-SSR, EST-SNP and AFLP markers for evaluation of genetic diversity and conservation of genetic resources using wild, cultivated and elite barleys
A set of 16 expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 15 EST-derived single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers together with 4 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer combinations ...
Micro-Finance in the Dry Areas: a Case Study in Syria
Lack of finance is often the key barrier to technology adoption by small-scale farmers. This is particularly true in dry areas, where many poor households, lacking income, assets or access to credit, are unable to invest ...
Approaches to rationalising selection of test environments for on-farm lentil variety trials in Mediterranean rainfed cropping systems
This study focused on various approaches to rationalising the selection of test environments using on-farmtrial data from 5 lentil (Lens culiniaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) genotypes. It was conducted over 3 years in 30 ...
