A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to 2000, ...

Since the dawn of wheat cytogenetics, chromosome 3B has been known to harbor a gene(s) that, when removed, causes chromosome desynapsis and gametic sterility. The lack of natural genetic diversity for this gene(s) has ...

Technical efficiency among wheat farms in the Northern State of Sudan was estimated using a stochastic frontier production function approach. Empirical findings show that technical inefficiency is important in explaining ...

The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat, improved techniques ...

A genetic option for increasing wheat production is to reduce menace of weeds through developing or screening weed tolerant wheat genotypes. To screen bread wheat genotypes tolerant to weeds in dryland conditions, twenty ...

Approaches that can help reduce future water shortages and increase food production in the Mediterranean region include the capture of more rainwater and better use of scarce irrigation water. The objective of this study ...
