Women, Land, and Empowerment Dynamics in Egypt’s Mubarak Resettlement Scheme
Literature and development practice related to women’s access to land reveals two main
assumptions: one, that the land is empowering for women and, two, that this
empowerment is inherently linked to independence for women ...
Explaining shifts in adaptive water management using a gendered multi-level perspective (MLP): a case study from the Nile Delta of Egypt
Understanding the logic behind farmers' choice of adaptive water management practice is important to appreciate the opportunities and challenges they face and to scale targeted solutions effectively. This paper aims to ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Molecular characterization of faba bean necrotic yellows viruses in Tunisia
Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV) (genus Nanovirus; family Nanoviridae) has a genome comprising eight individually encapsidated circular single-stranded DNA components. It has frequently been found infecting faba ...
Phenotypic and Molecular Assessment for Genetic Diversity of Egyptian Wheat Varieties
GENETIC diversity among plant species is important for improving plant traits. Its estimation is very essential to help selection of genetic resources in breeding programs. Moreover, it is the base for effective and ...
Genome-wide analysis identified candidate variants and genes associated with heat stress adaptation in Egyptian sheep breeds
Heat stress caused by climatic changes is one of the most significant stresses on livestock in hot and dry areas. It has particularly adverse effects on the ability of the breed to maintain homeothermy. Developing countries ...
Variation in soil chemical properties along toposequences in an arid region of the Levant
Detailed characterization of soils and their variation along different topography positions has not been investigated in depth for Mediterranean arid regions. There is a need to accurately understand the variation and the ...
Genome-wide association study of agronomy and morphology and morphology traits in elite spring wheat Germplasm evaluated under salt stress conditions in Egypt
Soil salinity is a long-term issue that needs addressing by developing tolerant cultivars. Today,
genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a preferred tool for quantitative trail loci detection for
different traits. Ten ...
Analyzing satellite data time-series for agricultural expansion and its water consumption in arid region: a case study of the Farafra oasis in Egypt's Western Desert
The harsh climate, prevalent soil properties, and a lack of water in the desert environment make controlling the vegetation cover challenging. The effects of changes in vegetation cover on evapotranspiration in the Farafra ...
Agricultural growth and sex-disaggregated employment in Africa: Future perspectives under different investment scenarios
Literature is scanty on how public agricultural investments can help reducing the impact of future challenges such as climate change and population pressure on national economies. The objective of this study is to assess ...
