Assessment of genetic diversity for cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuD), fiber quality and some morphological traits using different statistical procedures in Gossypium hirsutum L
Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD) is one of the major factors limiting cotton production in Pakistan. For the assessment of genetic diversity one hundred cotton genotypes was evaluated for CLCuD tolerance, fiber ...
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 ...
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. ...
Cotton leaf curl virus disease a principle cause of decline in cotton productivity in Pakistan (a mini review)
Among most serious threats of last two decades with reference to cotton crop in Pakistan is Cotton leaf Curl Virus. This disease inflicted huge losses not only to the cotton crop but also to the economy of Pakistan. It ...
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 ...
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 ...
