Factors affecting the variability of household water use in Melbourne,Australia
This study investigates the variability of household water use in Melbourne with the aim of improvingthe current understanding of factors affecting residential water use. This understanding is critical topredicting household ...
Impacts of International Wheat Improvement Research
Wheat is a major source of calories and protein for consumers in developing countries. The “Green Revolution” improved the national food security and welfare of the poor in developing countries in the second half of the ...
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 ...
Stocking rate effects on liveweight gain of ewes and their twin lambs when grazing subterranean clover–perennial grass pastures
Two grazing experiments were conducted on nonirrigated
tall fescue–subterranean clover and cocksfoot–
subterranean pastures subject to summer-dry conditions
in Canterbury, New Zealand, to measure the effect
of low (8 3–10 ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
A Review of Continental-to-Global Sustainable Water Use Assessment
Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water use are some of the growing concerns in many parts of the world. Increasing water demand accompanied by increasing climate change leads to the unsustainable use of freshwater ...
The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
Mining the ICARDA germplasm collection for biotic and abiotic priority traits for Australia
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for barley improvement, targeting nearly 18 million ha of dry areas. Germplasm improvement in hulled and naked barley for ...
Ammonia volatilization from nitrogen fertilizers applied to cereals in two cropping areas of southern Australia
As farmers in southern Australia typically apply nitrogen (N) to cereal crops by top-dressing with ammonia (NH3) based fertilizer in late winter or early spring there is the potential for large losses of NH3. This paper ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
