Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
Comparative Biology and Life Cycle of The Barley Stem Gall Midge and Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Morocco
The barley stem gall midge, Mayetiola hordei (Keiffer) is the most serious pest of barley in
Morocco. The biology and life cycle of this insect were studied in a laboratory and under
natural weather conditions. The results ...
Field-based screening identifies resistance to Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) feeding at vegetative stage in elite wheat genotypes
Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Puton) is currently widely distributed in West and Central Asia
and Eastern Europe, but has not been found in Australia, Western Europe or North America. Climate
warming is known to promote ...
Genome-Wide Association Study for Multiple Biotic Stress Resistance in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat
Genetic resistance against biotic stress is a major goal in many wheat breeding programs. However, modern wheat cultivars have a limited genetic variation for disease and pest resistance and there is always a possibility ...
Sources of resistance in durum wheat and its wild relatives to Russian wheat aphid (Hemiptea: Aphididae)
Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), is a serious pest of cereals in
many parts of the world, particularly in dry areas. As limited resistance sources to this pest
were previously identified in durum ...
Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
