Germplasm Seed Movement and Global Plant Health
Global seed transfers through trade, and collection and distribution of genetic resources by
genebanks are important pathways for the transboundary spread of seed-borne pests,
especially viruses that the insect vectors can ...
CGIAR germplasm health units apply a systems approach to germplasm seed health protection for conservation and safe international distribution
Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. ...
Diagnostic Tools Applied by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for Detection of Pests and Diseases Transmitted via Legume and Cereal Seeds
Seeds of cereals (wheat, barley) and legumes (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) are important exchange materials for farming, crop production, and research at national, regional, and international levels, but with the ...
Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Bacterial leaf blight disease of wheat (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae) in Syria: importance, characterization, and spread
The quantity and quality of wheat production are affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, including bacterial wheat leaf blight disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss). Pss is considered one ...
The Role of ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) in Improving Plant Health and Safeguarding the Biodiversity of Legume and Cereal Crops
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of legume (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) and cereal (wheat and barley) ...
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms in chickpea and applying integrated eco-friendly approaches for its effective control in Syria
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) ranks third among the pulse crops that attribute to global food security. Viruses that cause yellowing and stunting symptoms are considered a main threat to chickpea production worldwide. ...
Characterization of faba bean and chickpea viruses causing yellowing and stunting symptoms in Tunisia
In Tunisia, faba bean (Vicia faba) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum) are considered as strategic crops because of their economic and social relevance and significant direct contribution towards the national food balance. ...
Characterization and distribution of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syrinae on wheat in Syria
Bacterial leaf blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae, threaten wheat production in many regions. Approximately 500 wheat leaf samples showing symptoms suggestive of bacterial infections were collected from 107 fields in ...
Assessment of Pathogenicity Assay of Ascochyta rabiei Isolates Using Chickpea Differential Genotypes
Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei, is the most destructive disease in many chickpea growing countries. Many chickpea varieties were out of production due to increased virulence/aggressiveness of the pathogen in ...
