QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘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 ...
Improved crop productivity and rural livelihoods through balanced nutrition in the rainfed semi-arid tropics
Diagnostic soil analysis in targeted clusters of eight districts in Andhra Pradesh revealed critical deficiencies of sulphur (61 to 98%),
boron (23 to 98%) and zinc (45 to 85%) in addition to that of soil carbon (25 to ...
Assessing the potential of dual-purpose maize in southern Africa: A multi-level approach
This paper explores the potential and challenges of increasing production of food and feed on existing maize fields in mixed crop-livestock systems in the semi-arid areas of southern Africa. It integrates results from ...
Variation at the vernalisation genes Vrn‑H1 and Vrn‑H2 determines growth and yield stability in barley (Hordeum vulgare) grown under dryland conditions in Syria
The objective of the present study was to identify
QTL influencing agronomic performance in rain-fed
Mediterranean environments in a recombinant inbred line
(RIL) population, ARKE derived from the Syrian barley
landrace, ...
Genetic analysis for seed size in three crosses of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Seed size (determined by 100-seed weight) is an
important component of trade and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The present investigation was undertaken to
study the possibility of maternal inheritance for seed ...
NARROWING YIELD GAPS THROUGH GENETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANCE IN THREE PULSE CROPS OF THE SEMI-ARID TROPICS
Chickpea, pigeonpea and lentil constitute the major component of low-input agriculture in the semi-arid tropics
(SAT). These pulses play an important role in alleviating malnutrition by way of forming an inseparable ...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in HSP17.8 and Their Association with Agronomic Traits in Barley
Small heat shock protein 17.8 (HSP17.8) is produced abundantly in plant cells under heat and other stress conditions and
may play an important role in plant tolerance to stress environments. However, HSP17.8 may be ...
An integrated agro-ecosystem and livelihood systems approach for the poor and vulnerable in dry areas
More than 400 million people in the developing world depend on dryland agriculture for their livelihoods. Dryland agriculture involves a complex combination of productive components: staple crops, vegetables, livestock, ...
Putting the Dryland Systems program into action - Program Update, Issue 2
The CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Agricultural Production Systems that is led by ICARDA, is moving forward with a series of implementation workshops, where the research teams will design workplans, set priorities and ...
