Screening of Some Chickpea Genotypes for Salinity Tolerance in a Mediterranean Environment
To understand the mechanisms that affect the response to salinity of legumes, six chickpea genotypes
were tested in sand-filled pots in the greenhouse. The chickpea seeds were irrigated with water of four
different ...

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

Anthroscape: A Holistic Landscape Based Approach for Mitigating Environmental Threats of 21st Century
Centuries are remembered with human achievements alike the bronze age, the iron age of archaic and the 20th century as the age of innovation. However, the 21st century will be remembered as the age of extinction due to ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
In vitro salinity tolerance screening of some legumes and forages cultivars
The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
Diverse and resilient agro-pastoral systems: a common goal for the Mediterranean regions
The potential of agriculture to maintain or even further intensify production to meet the food and fibre
needs of increasing populations without degrading the capacity of the resource base is a major concern worldwide.
