Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Technical Manual on Quality Seed Production of Lentil
This manual would fulfil the knowledge gaps for the farmer to produce quality seed of lentil. Extension staff are expected to take advantage of this manual in extending the key techniques to the seed growers more effectively.
Frequency of mutations associated with fungicide resistance and population structure of Mycosphaerella graminicola in Tunisia
The occurrence of fungicide resistance in Mycosphaerella graminicola populations from Tunisia was investigated by examining mutations known to be associated with strobilurin and azole resistance. Few mutations associated ...
An agronomic, economic and behavioral analysis of N application to cotton and wheat in post-Soviet Uzbekistan
Cotton and winter wheat play a vital role in Uzbek agriculture: the first crop is a vital component of the national export revenues, while the latter is key in achieving independence from grain imports. Due to these strategic ...
Comparison of transient state models that include salinity and matric stress effects on plant yield
Transient-state models that account for continually changing salinity and matric stress on crop yields have been developed by several research groups. The objective of this research was to compare the simulated yields of ...
Congruence between selection on breeding values and farmers' selection criteria in sheep breeding under conventional nucleus breeding schemes
Designing breeding schemes suitable for smallholder livestock production systems in developing regions has hitherto been a challenge. The suggested schemes either do not address farmers' breeding goals (centralized ...
Should agricultural research in Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC) re-prioritize its agenda with view to climate change?
Impact of climate change on the clockwork of agro-ecosystems. ▶ pollinators as key agents of any climate change adaptation of agro-ecosystems at risks. ▶ Impact of climate change on mountain agriculture.Temperatures in ...
Comparative transcriptome analysis of AP2/EREBP gene family under normal and hormone treatments, and under two drought stresses in NILs setup by Aday Selection and IR64
The AP2/EREBP genes play various roles in developmental processes and in stress-related responses in plants. Genome-wide microarrays based on the gene expression profiles of the AP2/EREBP family were analyzed under conditions ...
CGIAR Reforms and Research Programs: Implications for Central Asia and the Caucasus
This presentation delivered during the 14th steering committee meeting of the CGIAR Program for Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Fertilizer Best Management Practices: A Perspective from the Dryland West Asia-North Africa Region
Chemical fertilizer use has contributed significantly to increased global food output in the past half century, especially in climatically favourable regions of the world. However, in drier agro-ecological zones, such as ...
