Proline content as a stress indicator to quantify conservation agriculture effect in wheat crop
The field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residue retention and crop rotationon proline concentration in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality and yield ...
Genotype × environment interaction and stability of grain yield and selected quality traits in winter wheat in Central Asia
High grain yield and improved quality determine the commercial success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties in
Central Asia. This study was conducted to determine the effect of environment on grain yield, ...
Morphological characterization of some Tunisian bread wheat (TriticumaestivumL.) accessions
Seventy four Tunisian bread wheat accessions were characterized using seven morphological traits: spike color, spike shape, spike density, beak shape, beak length, glume shoulder shape, grain color and grain size. Accessions ...
Selection of Tolerant Lines to Salinity Derived from Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in Vitro Culture
The genetic variability is considered as the major principle of plant breeding for durum wheat.
This variability can be induced in vitro by selection pressure exerted by stress factors such as salinity in order to regenerate ...
Exploring and Mobilizing the Gene Bank Biodiversity for Wheat Improvement
Identifying and mobilizing useful genetic variation from germplasm banks to breeding programs
is an important strategy for sustaining crop genetic improvement. The molecular
diversity of 1,423 spring bread wheat accessions ...
Potential legume alternatives to fallow and wheat monoculture for Mediterranean environments
Growing populations and intensification of land-use in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) are prompting
a need for viable alternatives to fallow and cereal mono-cropping systems common in dry areas of this region. ...
Evaluation of wheat genetic resources of Azerbaijan on normal and saline fields
Genetic variation is a key to successful crop improvement. This study was conducted to evaluate a set of 48 accessions and two controls of hexaploid winter wheat from the gene bank of the Genetic Resources Institute ...
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 ...
Breeding schemes for the implementation of genomic selection in wheat (Triticum spp.)
In the last decade the breeding technology referred to as ‘genomic selection’ (GS) has been implementedin a variety of species, with particular success in animal breeding. Recent research shows the potentialof GS to reshape ...
Detection of significant new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen in Africa and Middle East
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a destructive disease on bread and durum wheat. Following the identification and distribution of Ug99, major national and international efforts have been made ...
