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 ...
Role of climate change awareness in sustainable soil nutrient management by smallholder farms in Burkina Faso
Climate change effects are threats to the livelihood of Sub-Saharan smallholder farms. Farmers’
response and readiness to take adaptive measures depend on how they perceive (perception) and
moreover understand and recognize ...
Study of some genetic indices for yield and it's component in some hybrids of faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
The half diallel set of crosses among six inbred lines of faba bean was
performed at Terbol Research station, International Center for Agricultural
Research in The Dry Areas (ICARDA), Lebanon. during 2013-2014 growing
season, ...
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 ...
Development of EST-SSR markers and construction of a linkage map in faba bean (Vicia faba)
To develop a high density linkage map in faba bean, a total of 1,363 FBES (Faba bean expressed sequence tag
[EST]derived simple sequence repeat [SSR]) markers were designed based on 5,090 non-redundant ESTs
developed in ...
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 ...
Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton
Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa,
the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying
the gluten. ...
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 ...
A Bayesian Assessment of Productivity and Risks to Achieve target Yields from Improved Chickpea and Mung Bean Varieties Using On-Farm Trials in Afghanistan
Legumes are essential to meet nutrition need of growing population in Afghanistan but have low productivity under the farmer practices. With an aim to introduce improved varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and mung ...
