Sustainable Land Management to Achieve Land Degradation Neutrality: Options-by-Context Approach and Tools
This is the presentation of Dr. Taoufik Hermassi during the workshop "Sustainable Land Management to Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality: Options-by-Context Approach and Tool", final workshop for the project "Impact ...
Land degradation and the Sustainable Development Goals: Threats and potential remedies
The concern for the well-being of land is often directly related to one’s proximity to the land, be it physically, economically or culturally. Land is more precious if one’s livelihood depend on it immediately than if one ...
Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Herbicide tolerant, machine-harvestable chickpea, faba bean and lentil varieties
This product line aims at developing and making available to farmers machine harvestable and herbicide tolerant chickpea, lentil and faba bean varieties that are expected to reduce cost of cultivation through labor saving, ...
Assessment of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain yield, aerial biomass and flowering date stability in Mediterranean environments
Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested nine pea cultivars in five ...
Genetic Variation Controlling Wrinkled Seed Phenotypes in Pisum: How Lucky Was Mendel?
One of the traits studied by Mendel in pea (Pisum sativum L.) was the wrinkled-seeded phenotype, and the molecular basis for a mutation underlying this phenotype was discovered in the 1990s. Although the starch-branching ...
Is long-term protection useful for the regeneration of disturbed plant communities in dry areas?
In dry areas, natural plant communities are mainly affected by climatic stress and human disturbances – overgrazing, ploughing and biomass harvesting – that accelerate their degradation. Management techniques, including ...
In vitro New Approaches for Shortening of Generation Cycles and Faster Breeding of Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Flowering is a complex process regulated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grows as long day plant under natural conditions with single breeding cycle per annum. There ...
Winder Barley Program
Winter Barley Nurseries have been planted in 4 different locations in Turkey in 2015-16 crop growing season. The altitudes in locations change from 359 m asl in Sanliurfa to 1069 m asl in Konya and the coordinates change ...
Aperçu de l'interface de l'outil de gestion durable des terres (GDT)
Under the Economics of Land degradation initiative (ELD), scientists from ICARDA are collaborating with developments to develop the GeOC tool. It is a new web-based GIS tool to define context specific options for sustainable ...
