Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Resistance in Kabuli Chickpeas to Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is a major constraint to production of kabuli chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) in the Mediterranean basin. To identify sources of resistance to Fusarium wilt for use in a breeding ...
Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...

Registration of ‘ILC 3279’ Chickpea
On-Farm Assessment of Improved Crop Production Practices in Northwest Syria. I. Chickpea
Thirty on-farm trials were conducted in northwest Syria over a period of four seasons to examine the main effects and interaction of sowing date, sowing method, Rhizobium inoculation, phosphate application and weed control ...
Genome-wide association analysis of chickpea germplasms differing for salinity tolerance based on DArTseq markers
Soil salinity is significant abiotic stress that severely limits global crop production. Chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume that plays a substantial role in nutritional
food security, especially in ...
First report of sugar beet and bean as natural hosts of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus in Iran
A survey was conducted during August 2001 to identify viruses infecting sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) crops in the six provinces of Iran, including Semnan, Khorasan, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Fars and Esfahan. A total of 4795 leaf ...
Genetic dissection of pathotype-specific resistance to ascochyta blight disease in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) using microsatellite markers
Ascochyta blight is an economically important disease of chickpea caused by the fungus Ascochyta rabiei. The fungus shows considerable variation for pathogenicity in nature. However, studies on the genetics of pathotype-specific ...
