Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Evaluation of mohair quality in Angora goats from the Northern dry lands of Tajikistan
Mohair quality of Angora goats in the Sogd Province of Tajikistan was assessed in spring
and autumn 2007 and 2008 by inspecting and sampling a total of 797 goats of both sexes,
different ages and several coat colors from ...
Genome-wide association mapping of frost tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Background: Frost tolerance is a key trait with economic and agronomic importance in barley because it is a major
component of winter hardiness, and therefore limits the geographical distribution of the crop and the ...
Role of GPS in monitoring livestock migration
Satellite-based technique of global positioning systems (GPS) is useful for tracking long-distance livestock movement across the grazing routes md to study the specific needs of livestock herders. There are two kinds of ...
The FIGS (Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy) Approach Identifies Traits Related to Drought Adaptation in Vicia faba Genetic Resources
Efficient methods to explore plant agro-biodiversity for climate change adaptive traits are urgently required. The focused
identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) is one such approach. FIGS works on the premise that ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ × ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity Array Technology®-based barley map has been developed in the ...

Tillage system and genotype effects on early vigor and water use in bread wheat in the Mediterranean region
The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent
droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat,
improved techniques ...
Phosphorus In Low-Input Dryland Agriculture: The Perspective From Syria
Although most of the research on phosphorus (P) in developed countries focuses on the environmental implications of excess P fertilizer use, the opposite occurs in developing countries. The northern Africa-western Asia ...
Inheritance of resistance to Ascochyta rabiei in 15 chickpea germplasm accessions
Inheritance of resistance to race 4 of Ascochyta rabiei was studied in fifteen
chickpea accessions known internationally for Ascochyta blight
(AB) resistance. Resistance in ILC 200, ILC 5921, ILC 6043 and ILC
6090 was ...
