Global crop improvement networks to bridge technology gaps
To ensure future food security, there is an urgent need for
improved co-ordination of agricultural research. While
advances in biotechnology hold considerable promise,
significant technology gaps exist that may reduce ...
QTLs for Orobanche spp. resistance in faba bean: identification and validation across different environments
Broomrapes are holoparasitic plants which infect faba bean (Vicia faba L.), among
other legumes. Here, we aimed to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
for broomrape resistance in the cross 29H × Vf136 and ...
Genetic diversity of SSR and ISSR markers in wild populations of Brachypodium distachyon and its close relatives B. stacei and B. hybridum (Poaceae)
The genetic diversity of seven wild populations of the grass Brachypodium distachyon
(2n = 10), 4 of B. stacei (2n = 20) and 13 of B. hybridum (2n = 30) from the
Mediterranean and southern areas of the Iberian Peninsula ...
Efficient Production of Tetraploid Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) by Colchicine Treatment of Diploid Barley
An experiment was conducted to induce tetraploidy in three diploid barley varieties (Martin, Rihane and
Manel) through different colchicines treatments. Colchicine was added for three different concentrations
at three ...
Comparative quality analysis of gluten strength and the relationship with high molecular weight glutenin subunits of 6 Tunisian durum wheat genotypes
Six Tunisian durum wheat genotypes (4 landraces and 2 improved) were evaluated for
protein content, gluten strength, rheological characteristics, and HMW-GS patterns
using a LabChip system. Variance analysis identified ...
Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of the Parasitic Plants Orobanche Foetida and Orobanche Crenata Collected on Faba Bean in Tunisia
The antioxidant activity of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of two parasitic plants Orobanche crenata and
Orobanche foetida collected from faba bean fields was investigated with 2 complementary test systems, DPPH ...
High yielding wheat varieties with heat and drought tolerance
Wheat is an important food crop globally is facing serious threats from impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, recurring droughts and floods, and emergence of new pests and diseases like stripe rust, yellow ...
Combining Ascochyta blight resistance and high yield in lentil cultivars
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Bond and Vassil, is a major disease of lentil (Lens culinaris L. Medik.) causing 30–70% yield losses in
Canada, USA, and Australia and northern parts of India. The aim of ...
