QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Narrowing the skill and knowledge gaps of young researchers on pest surveillances, diagnostics and integrated pest and disease management on wheat and food legumes in East Africa and CWANA regions
Many young researchers working in plant protections lacks skills and knowledge on pest and disease
surveillances, identification, disease/pest measurements, pest and disease dynamics, Integrated Pest and
Disease Management ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Surveillance and monitoring the cereal rust diseases in Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia in 2023
The key components for achieving long-lasting resistance to wheat rust disease and effectively managing the wheat rust disease relies on constantly tracking the movement of the pathogens and studying their pathogenic ...
Prevalent races of wheat rust pathogens in Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia in 2023
In 2023, the rust surveys conducted in Lebanon yielded 110 samples, comprising 42 stem rust, 28 yellow rust, and nine leaf rust samples. Similarly, 16 stem rust, eight yellow rust, and seven leaf rust samples were collected ...
Surveillance and monitoring the cereal rust diseases in Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia in 2022
Tracking the movement of the wheat rust pathogens and monitoring their pathogenic variabilities are the main pillars in successful breeding for durable rust resistance and disease management programs. Despite the severe ...
