Quantitative inheritance of resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in durum wheat in Tunisia
Septoria tritici blotch, causal agent Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt. (anamorph: Zymoseptoria tritici Desm.),
is the major foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Tunisia causing frequent epidemics ...
Phenotypic variation in boron-toxicity tolerance at seedling stage in durum wheat (Triticum durum)
Nineteen durum wheat landraces, cultivars or advanced lines of different origins in West Asia and North Africa (WANA), and three barley and two bread wheat varieties were evaluated for their boron (B) toxicity tolerance. ...
Agronomic value and plant type of Italian durum wheat cultivars from different eras of breeding
Durum wheat has been subjected to intense breeding in Italy due to its local economic importance. Four groups of Italian cultivars representative of different breeding eras were compared in northern Syria for yield potential ...
The use of AMMI model for interpreting genotype x environment interaction in durum wheat
Durum wheat (Triticum durum) is one of the most important cereal crops in the Mediterranean region; however, its cultivation suffers from low yield due to environmental constrains. The main objectives of this study were ...
Effect of leaf structure and water status on carbon isotope discrimination in field‐grown durum wheat
The relationships between leaf and kernel carbon isotope discriminations (Delta) and several leaf structural parameters that are indicators of photosynthetic capacity were studied in durum wheat grown in the field under ...
Ties that Bind: ICARDA and the Arab World
Since its establishment, the International Center for Agricultural research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), based in Aleppo, Syria, has worked side by side with scientists and technicians in all parts of the Arab world to not ...
The genetic basis of durum wheat germination and seedling growth under osmotic stress
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is mainly produced under rainfed but often sub-optimal moisture conditions in the Mediterranean basin. A set of 114 durum wheat recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from ...
Quantitative trait loci for grain yield and adaptation of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) across a wide range of water availability
Grain yield is a major goal for the improvement of durum wheat, particularly in drought-prone areas. In this study, the genetic basis of grain yield (GY), heading date (HD), and plant height (PH) was investigated in a durum ...
Assessment of EST-microsatellites markers for discrimination and genetic diversity in bread and durum wheat landraces from Afghanistan
Accurate and reliable means for identification are necessary to assess the discrimination between landraces of tetraploid wheat [T.turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.] and hexaploid wheat (T. aestivum L. em. Thell.). ...
Genetic variation of the durum wheat landrace Haurani from different agro-ecological regions
The durum wheat landrace Haurani (Triticum durum Desf.) is grown under contrasting climatic regions of Syria from Deir Ezzor, in the North-East (230 m altitude, 150 mm mean annual rainfall), to Qunaytra, in the South-West ...
