Literature Update on Wheat, Barley, and Triticale Vol. 2 No. 2
This is a weekly CD_ROM service giving abstracts of articles from the current issues of the world's most influential scientific journals. ISI has authorised us to extract the abstracts that deal with wheat barley and ...
Nitrogen fixation and nutrient uptake by two chickpea genotypes cultivated in sandy soils of Egypt
A field experiment was conducted to compare local chickpea (Giza 2) and its recently developed cultivar L3. The two genotypes were examined for biological dinitrogen fixation and P uptake as enhanced by inoculation ...
Practical Rhizobium -Legume Technology Manual
This manual has two major objectives. The first five sections focus on the handling and identification of rhizobia, with production of high-quality inoculants as the overall aim. the last four sections deal with field ...
Genetic diversity and taxonomic relationships within the genus Lens as revealed by allozyme polymorphism
A survey of allozyme polymorphism at 11 loci was carried out on 439 accessions from the genus Lens. This comprised 153 Lens culinaris subsp. orientalis, 35 L. odemensis, 117 L. ervoides, 32 L. nigricans, 2 of a differentiated ...
Inter-site transferability of crop varieties: another approach for analyzing multi-locational variety trials
Improved crop varieties developed at experimental stations are intended for release for production in farmers' fields which are not necessarily the test sites. Therefore, it is important to measure the inter-site transferability ...
Geographic variation in tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. turgidum convar. durum) landraces from two provinces in Ethiopia
There is considerable wealth of genetical and morphological variation in tetraploid wheat collected from Ethiopia by past expeditions. Several authors have speculated on the reasons for this concentration of diversity so ...
Germplasm Program Legumes Annual Report 1996
This report summarizes the key accomplishments and efforts of the Germplasm Program Legumes at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in 1996.
Sources of resistance to cyst nematode in cultivated and wild Cicer species
Among the nematodes infesting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants in Syria, cyst nematode (Heterodera ciceri Vovlas, Greco et Di Vito) is the most important. It is uneconomical to grow chickpea in fields infested with ...
Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among the annual Cicer species as revealed by isozyme polymorphism
There are few estimates of genetic variability within and among populations of the nine annual Cicer species and for the wild species this information is based on few accessions. The present study was undertaken to examine ...
Useful genetic diversity in germplasm collections of food and forage legumes from West Asia and North Africa
The germplasm collections at ICARDA of faba bean, chickpea, lentil and forage legumes have been exploited by breeding programmes in the West Asia and North Africa region for production of improved cultivars. The first lines ...
