Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Assessment of the suitability of Triticum turgidum accessions for incorporation into a durum wheat breeding program
Expanding the genetic basis of modern wheat cultivars may improve yield stability and increase grain yields under climatic changes, to feed the growing human population. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ...
Diversity analysis of 80,000 wheat accessions reveals consequences and opportunities of selection footprints
Undomesticated wild species, crop wild relatives, and landraces represent sources of variation for wheat improvement to address challenges from climate change and the growing human population. Here, we study 56,342 ...
Analysis of Genotype x Environment Interactions for Grain Yield in Durum Wheat
Genotype x environment (GE) interactions are important sources of variation in crop breeding programs. The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze GE interactions on grain yield of one bread wheat (Triticum aestivum ...
Characterization of tetraploid wheat landraces for cold tolerance and agronomic traits under rainfed conditions of Iran
Abiotic stresses such as cold and drought are major limiting factors of durum wheat production in the highlands of Iran. A total of 641 tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) accessions, selected from wheat collections ...
New durum wheat with Hessian fly resistance from Triticum araraticum and T. carthlicum in Morocco
Hessian fly is an important pest of wheat on the North American continent and the temperate Mediterranean drylands. Yield losses caused by this insect in Morocco are the heaviest in the Mediterranean region and are estimated ...
Status of species richness and Scorzonera judaica species at four
Studying species diversity is crucial for monitoring, management and in situ conservation of dryland
agrobiodiversity. The species richness and diversity index, along with the density and frequency of
Scorzonera Judaica ...
Contribution of Wild Relatives to Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) Yield Stability across Contrasted Environments
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is mostly grown in Mediterranean type environments, characterized by unpredictable rainfall amounts and distribution, heat stress, and prevalence of major diseases and pests, ...
Comparison of rank-based stability statistics for grain yield in rainfed durum wheat
Several rank-based stability statistics are in use, but little information is available on their repeatability and accuracy. The main objective was to examine the repeatability, similarity and accuracy of the estimates of ...
