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 ...
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) ...
Phytosanitary Management of ICARDA’s Germplasm Seed Collections for Better Future Use
Recent years have witnessed an increasing global concern about the loss of plant genetic
resources, as a result of conflicts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., which led to disrupting
access to some germplasm and undermining ...
Detection and Characterization of Seed-Borne Bacterial Leaf Blight in Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important crops which contributes toward global food security and
represents a main source of food and income for millions of smallholder farmers worldwide.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) ...
Natural regeneration of severely degraded terrestrial arid ecosystems needs more than just removing the cause of the degradation
Rangelands cover over 75% of Kuwait’s total land area. Most of these rangelands are severely degraded because of overgrazing, poor anthropic utilization, and mismanagement. Restoring natural rangelands is a way to increase ...
A Roadmap for Sustainable Silvopastoral System Restoration
The research was presented in the International Conference on Feeding the Future through Sustainable Eco-friendly Innovations in Rangeland, Forages, and Animal Sciences in Bangalore, India. The study identified the primary ...
Silvopastoral restoration to enhance ecosystem services and increase farmers' income
Silvopastoral systems (SPS) are deemed as agroecological solutions that hold great potential to
reduce pressure on already degraded forest and rangeland resources while synergistically enhancing
livestock productivity and ...
