Effect of cooking methods on protein content and neurotoxin (β-ODAP) concentration in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grains - Efecto de los métodos de cocción sobre el contenido de proteínas y la concentración de neurotoxinas (β-ODAP) en los granos de guisante [chícharo, arveja] (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an important food legume crop but notorious for plant neurotoxin beta-N-Oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), causing neurolathyrism to human and animals. The study aimed ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Agricultural Productivity in the WANA Region
The interest of governments, international organizations, NGOs and the general public has recently been aroused by studies considering the use of existing agricultural technology, the use of innovations in such technology ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
Whole-Genome Resequencing of Red Junglefowl and Indigenous Village Chicken Reveal New Insights on the Genome Dynamics of the Species
The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the
commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six
to one. The genetic control for production traits have been ...
Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats
The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics
into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the
analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop
region ...
Evidence that dicot-infecting mastreviruses arep articularly prone to inter-species recombination and have likely been circulating in Australia for longer than in Africa and the Middle East
Viruses of the genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) are transmitted by leafhoppers and infect either mono- or dicotyledonous plants. Here we have determined the full length sequences of 49 dicot-infecting mastrevirus ...
A participatory farming system approach for sustainable broomrape (Orobanche spp.) management in the Near East and North Africa
Broomrapes (Orobanche spp.) are aggressive and damaging parasitic weeds which have a tremendous impact on agriculture in East Africa, the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Despite the availability of technologies ...
The maternal origin of indigenous domestic chicken from the Middle East, the north and the horn of Africa
Indigenous domestic chicken represents a major source of protein for agricultural communities around the world. In the Middle East and Africa, they are adapted to hot dry and semi-dry areas, in contrast to their wild ...
