Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries
A research for development initiative working across ten countries to raise wheat production and reduce the Arab World’s growing dependence on costly wheat imports.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan for Modernization of Crop Breeding Programs in Arab Countries
This document provides an overview of the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) plan for the project, “Modernization of Crop Breeding Programs in Arab Countries.” Implementation of MEL in research for development ...
Improving wheat production in the CWANA region
Wheat is the principal staple food in most countries of the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region, accounting for 45% of the region’s per capita calorie intake with an average wheat consumption of about 200 ...
QTLs for Orobanche spp. resistance in faba bean: identification and validation across different environments
Broomrapes are holoparasitic plants which infect faba bean (Vicia faba L.), among
other legumes. Here, we aimed to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
for broomrape resistance in the cross 29H × Vf136 and ...
Adaptation and Stability Analysis of ICARDA Durum Wheat Elites across 18 Countries
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its cultivation occurs on a vast array of international agroenvironments. However, its wide international adaptation is only marginally ...
Climate-smart Diversified Cropping Systems for Drylands of the Arab Region
Cereals constitute the main staple food in the Arab countries and are, therefore, of key importance for food security in the region. But to ensure healthy diets and nutrition security, a diversification of food sources is ...
Use of latent factor mixed model to analyze allele climate association in a panel of ICARDA durum wheat accessions
The purpose of the current study was to appraise desirable associations between allele frequencies
and environmental variables for a set of North African durum wheat landraces using latent
factor mixed models. Speci cally:
To ...
Brief of Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan for Modernization of Crop Breeding Programs in Arab Countries
This document is a brief of the detailed Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan. It contains an overview of the plan, including rationale, contents, logical framework, and indicators.
Towards the conservation of crop wild relative diversity in North Africa: checklist, prioritisation and inventory
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild species that are more or less genetically related to crops that can be used to introgress useful genes for improvement of productivity, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and quality ...
Wheat Legume Cropping Systems - Final Completion Report
The project, Enhanced Smallholder Wheat-Legume Cropping Systems to Improve Food Security under Changing Climate in the Drylands of WANA, has been effective in its planned objectives.
The overall goal was to contribute to ...
