Enhancing faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm for resilience to temperature extremes
The Western Regional Plant Introduction Station (WRPIS) is one of the four regional plant introduction stations in the US Department of Agriculture-ARS National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) with the mission of acquiring, ...
Promoting Sustainable Land Management through a Robust Science/Policy Dialogue
A paper on “Promoting sustainable land management through a robust science-policy dialogue” was presented as part of Session 16 on December 3 of the conference on the valuation of ecosystem services- costs and benefits of SLM.
Breeding for multiple disease and multiple gene resistance in barley
Combining genes for disease resistance is very difficult, as most breeding programs can only test for the diseases present at their breeding sites. In addition, pyramiding genes or developing multiple gene resistance is ...
Role of geoinformatics in ensuing global food security with special reference to dryland agroecosystems
Agriculture plays an important role in providing
food security in developing countries. Better agricultural
information is one of the key factors in understanding current
trends and status that determine food security from ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
Improved Decision Making for Deficit Irrigation of Wheat in Northern Syria
Increasing water scarcity due to population growth and urbanization is pushing the countries in the Mediterranean region to improve their irrigation water use efficiency. Supplemental irrigation of rain-fed crops is a very ...
International germplasm development for multiple disease resistance
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), with the
headquarters in Aleppo, Syria, is one of 15 centers strategically located all over the world and
supported by the Consultative Group ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of the Resilience to High Temperature of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Germplasm
Our research on enhancement of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) has the objectives of increasing resilience to temperature extremes and improving nutritional quality. We conduct traditional field/greenhouse experiments and adopt ...
Genome-wide association study of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei) resistance in a world collection of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Stripe rust (Puccicina striiformis f.sp. hordei) (PSH) is one of the major diseases that causes significant yield losses of barley (Hordeium vulgare L.) worldwide. Frequent breakdown of resistance genes and emergence of ...
