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 ...
Amplicon-based RNA interference targeting V2 gene of cotton leaf curl kokhran virus- burewala strain can provide resistance in transgenic cotton plants
The conserved coat or V2 gene of begomoviruses is responsible for viral movement in the plant cells. RNAi technology was used to silence V2 gene for resistance against these viruses in transgenic plants. The transformation ...
Gene Flow as a Source of Adaptation of Durum Wheat to Changing Conditions Including Climate Change: Double Gradient Selection Technique
Fluctuating environments are recurring scenarios in dryland agriculture with detri- mental effects to crop production such as durum wheat crop that could lead to losses in yield. The dryland Mediterranean type of environment ...
First Report of Chilli leaf curl virus and Associated Alpha- and Beta-satellite DNAs Infecting Nettle Weed (Urtica dioica) in Pakistan
Weeds act as reservoirs of begomoviruses and ‘‘mixing vessels’’ leading to emergence of new viruses that may infect crops once a susceptible host plant is introduced into an agro-ecological system. Owing to the importance ...
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 ...
