First record of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV) affecting faba bean (Vicia faba) crops in Egypt
A field visit was conducted in March 2002 to identify viruses infecting the faba bean (Vicia faba) crop in four governorates (Fayoum, Beni Suef, El-Nobareia and Bihera) in Egypt. A total of 71 faba bean samples with symptoms ...
Performance evaluation of ground water management instruments: The case of irrigation sector in Tunisia
Around 27% of aquifers in Tunisia are being overexploited. Groundwater extractions is mainly for the irrigation sector, where more than 40% of the water used for irrigation comes from GW sources. The objective of this study ...
Genomic footprints of dryland stress adaptation in Egyptian fattail sheep and their divergence from East African and western Asia cohorts
African indigenous sheep are classified as fat-tail, thin-tail and fat-rump hair sheep. The fat-tail are well adapted to dryland environments, but little is known on their genome profiles. We analyzed patterns of genomic ...
Growth in Total Factor Productivity in the Egyptian Agriculture Sector: Growth Accounting and Econometric Assessments of Sources of Growth
This research aims to assess the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of the whole agricultural sector in Egypt for the period 1961-2012 using Törnqvist index calculations. Particularly, it aims to investigate: (1) the most ...
A participatory farming system approach for sustainable broomrape (Orobanche spp.) management in the Near East and North Africa
Broomrapes (Orobanche spp.) are aggressive and damaging parasitic weeds which have a tremendous impact on agriculture in East Africa, the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Despite the availability of technologies ...
Capturing the Heterogeneity of the Error Variances of a Group of Genotypes in Crop Cultivar Trials
Appropriate experimental designs provide an efficient estimate of cultivar performance by allowing better control of experimental error. The standard approach assumes homogeneity of experimental error variances across ...

Barley with improved drought tolerance: Challenges and perspectives
There is a pressing need to improve climate-resilient crops as a consequence of increasingly erratic climatic behavior that threatens global food security. Current scientific efforts aim to elucidate the complex mechanisms ...
Genome-wide identification, characterization, and validation of the bHLH transcription factors in grass pea
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor is a vital
component in plant biology, with a significant impact on various aspects of
plant growth, cell development, and physiological processes. Grass pea is a
vital ...
