Effect of genotypes and culture media on embryogenic callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature embryos of durum wheat
In wheat, immature embryos are the most widely used explant to initiate cultures, but they are
inconvenient due to their temporal availability and production requirements. Mature embryos are easily stored
and are readily ...
Characterization of mohair and cashmere in regions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
tTo generate information on animal fiber quality traits in Central Asia, as a prelude to geneticimprovement, fiber samples of 495 cashmere goats from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and448 mohair goats from these two countries ...
Characterization of tetraploid wheat landraces for cold tolerance and agronomic traits under rainfed conditions of Iran
Abiotic stresses such as cold and drought are major limiting factors of durum wheat production in the highlands of Iran. A total of 641 tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) accessions, selected from wheat collections ...
Association Mapping of Resistance to Yellow Rust in Winter Wheat Cultivars and Elite Genotypes
Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis
f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive disease of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) all over the world,
particularly in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) ...
Characterisation and mapping of gene Lr73 conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina in common wheat
A gene conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina was mapped to chromosome 2BS in the wheat Morocco. The gene was shown to be distinct and was therefore designated Lr73.
Abstract
The wheat genotype Morocco, ...
Impact of Improved Maize Adoption on Welfare of Farm Households in Malawi: A Panel Data Analysis
This paper assesses rural households’ decision to use improved maize varieties in Malawi and examines its impact on household welfare using a three-year household panel data. The distributional effect of maize technology ...
Current and residual effects of compost and inorganic fertilizer on wheat and soil chemical properties
Restoring soil fertility in smallholder
farming systems is essential to sustain crop production.
An experiment was conducted in 2011 and 2012
to study the effect of compost and inorganic fertilizer
application on soil ...
Statistical Research Issues in Crop and Cropping System Experiments for Enhancing Food Security Support
Food security is essential to maintain the human population and the environment. The strategies for food security must take into consideration the human population dynamics and dynamics of natural resources, plant and ...
Large-scale microsatellite development in grasspea ( Lathyrus sativus L.), an orphan legume of the arid areas
Background
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L., 2n = 14), a member of the family Leguminosae, holds great
agronomic potential as grain and forage legume crop in the arid areas for its superb resilience
to abiotic stresses such ...
Antixenosis Resistance to Oulema melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Central Asian Wheat Germplasm
The cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which is Eurasian in origin, is an emerging pest of agriculturally important cereal crops in western Canada, including wheat, oat, and barley. Among ...
