Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Didymella rabiei affecting chickpea in Syria
Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133
Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56
isolates randomly ...
Isolation and sequence analysis of DREB2A homologues in three cereal and two legume species
The transcription factor, DREB2A, is one of the promising candidate genes involved in dehydration tolerance in crop plants. In order to isolate DREB2A homologues across cereals (rice, barley and sorghum) and legumes (common ...
Ethiopian Journal of Crop Science
A Special Volume Dedicated to the 3rd Decadal National Conference on Food and Forage Legumes in Ethiopia 6 - 9 November 2016, EIAR, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Special Issue , Vol. 6 No. 3 (2018).
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
Varietal Adoption, Outcomes and Impact
This chapter focuses on the adoption and turnover of cultivars of crops, such as soyabean, maize, pigeon pea, wheat, cassava, rice, potato, barley, yam, groundnut, bean, sorghum, cowpea, pearl millet, chickpea, faba bean, ...
Gathering Wisdom from the Field: Participatory Technology Development in Upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food
The project combined a large-scale analysis of the Karkheh River Basin, Iran, by GIS and rapid assessments, with detailed natural resources assessments, gender and livelihood ...
Gene introgression in grain legumes
The wild species of grain legumes are valuable gene pools, particularly for resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. These have largely remained under-utilized due to crossability barriers, but there are some examples ...
Varietal Generation and Output
This chapter focuses on the improved cultivar generation of various crops (maize, cassava, rice, bean, potato, cowpea, wheat, soyabean, sweet potato, yam, sorghum, groundnut, banana, chickpea, pigeon pea, barley, pearl ...
