Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Diagnostic tools validated by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for detection of legume seed-borne pests
ICARDA’s Germplasm Health unit (GHU) is responsible for the monitoring, clearance and documentation of safe germplasm movement at the Center's locations in Lebanon and Morocco. All incoming and outgoing genetic resources ...
Viral diseases causing yellowing and stunting affecting cool season food legumes in Syria and the neighboring countries and their management
Viruses causing yellowing/stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting legumes in many regions of the world including Syria, and was considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with Bean leafroll ...
New insect-borne virus diseases affecting chickpeas in the Arab region and potential approaches to manage them
Viruses causing yellowing/stunting are the most important viral diseases affecting chickpea in many regions of the world including Arab countries. These diseases were thought for many years to be mainly caused by the ...
Quarantine seed-borne pests of food legumes, cereals, forages and rangelands and their detection methods applied by ICARDA's GHU
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of germplasm, ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) follows a regulatory and quarantine ...
Molecular Diagnosis of Viruses Causing Yellowing and Stunting Symptoms Affecting Pulse Crops in Central West Asia and North Africa Countries
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting pulses in many regions of the world, and were considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with beet western yellows virus ...
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for detection and characterization of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus in legumes applied by ICARDA’s GHU
Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is the most important virus infecting lentil both in terms of economic importance and geographical distribution. It was reported that PSbMV can even ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
Comparison of serological and molecular methods for diagnosis of viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms for the pulse crops
The diagnosis of plant viruses that belong to the families Solemoviridae and Tombusviridae, which cause yellowing and stunting symptoms, is very complicated due to the serological cross-reactivity among these viruses. The ...
