Widening the Genetic Base of Indian Barley Through the Use of Exotics
The genetic base of improved varieties is becoming increasingly narrow due to the commonness of one or more parents in their ancestry. Thus, improved varieties may become vulnerable to the diseases, insect-pests and other ...
Impact of Climate Changes on Water Resources Availability in the Orontes River Watershed: Case of Homs Governorate in Syria
Homs governorate watershed is considered as the agricultural production hub and a strategic water reservoir of Syria. However, land fertility and the increase of population, as well as climatic changes, urged the farmers ...
Assessment of genetic diversity and yield performance in Jordanian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces grown under Rainfed conditions
Background: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal crop, which is cultivated under variable environmental conditions and abiotic stresses in marginal areas around the globe. In this study, we evaluated 150 Jordanian ...
Genetic variations of HvP5CS1 and their association with drought tolerance related traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase gene1 (P5CS1) is the key gene involved in the biosynthesis of
proline and is significantly induced by drought stress. The exploration of genetic variation in HvP5CS1
may facilitate ...
Characterization for DUS descriptors and environmental interaction studies for grain protein and starch content in barley (H. vulgare)
This study was carried out to characterize released Indian barley varieties for distinctiveness, uniformity and
stability during rabi, 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Karnal and Faizabad. A total 79 genotypes were observed with ...
AMMI model to analyse GxE for dual purpose barley in multi-environment trials
The highly significant effects of environments, genotypes and interactions were observed for forage and grain yield. The environmental effects explained the major portion of the total variance as of 82.3% and 58.8% ...
Conservation Agriculture for combating land degradation in Central Asia: a synthesis
This manuscript reviews scientific findings on agricultural systems, associated land
degradation and selected remedies such as Conservation Agricultural (CA) practices to
counterbalance these. In particular, this review ...
